  It never ceases to amaze me....

  i just came from my mom's house, where my sister was in from out of town.

  my sister tells my mom that at her meeting this morning, they announced that while jws are out and about in their dc cities, they are not to wear jeans, shorts, or t-shirts, so as to "stand out as different.

  " (guess the full-body placard reading, "we are jehovah's witnesses" would've been a little over-the-top, eh?).

  I found that I could 'Walk'!

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i found out that 'i could walk' about three years ago.

  i stood up and 'i walked'.

  five years ago, i was trapped in the watchtower 'wheelchair' believeing that only 'they' could make me a good person through their interpretation of the bible.

  ANOTHER 200 Scientists Document Global Climate Change - Yo Deniers!

  by Seeker4 in

  http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/07/science/earth/07climate.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin.

  another international slate of scientists have released their findings regarding global climate change and human's effect on that (see the above link).. after the last major study released by several hundred scientists a few months ago, it does seem there is a serious concensus here among the leading thinkers and scientists on this issue.

  i know i've banged heads with a few who disagree with this, but it does seem as though that handful of folks who disagree with the science are looking more and more like deniers, as in holocaust deniers, moon landing deniers, etc.. in other words, out there on the lunatic fringe.. so, do you folks think it might be time to reconsider?.

  ................is it really possible that mankind, especially u.s. of america (one of the largest contributers to atmosphere pollution according to those "200" scientists), in just, say since ww2 ( before every family had 3 cars in the drive, 2 atv's in the garage, 1 boat at the lake) has caused the global climate to change........what about the "dust bowl days" in america?

  what about all the other times in the history of earth that the climate has changed.....ice ages.....thawing out process...warming up...cooling down........dinasaurs dieing out....seas changing to desserts......all before henry ford started making f-150's....excursions...explorers......

  toyota was putting 380 horse power engines in pick ups......nissan pick ups could beat a chevrolet silverado.......

  in my very humble opinion, i think it a little self indulgent that humans think that they by anything they do, could change the climate, weather, cause global warming......in a universe as big as ours.....on a planet such as ours.....that has gone thru as many climatic changes as our planet has. don't get me wrong, i'm sure that we as gas consuming, consumers of all things material,do have an impact on the environment we live in....especially the cities.....i just don't accept the fact that we are causing "global warming"...

  defd................that was my impression the first time freddie or qbert posted here.....circular reasoning.....

  ...............since all are being so honest................why would any active,beleiving jw post here? 99% of posters here have been jw's.we all know what they teach...

  do any of you really think a common jw could explain the real doctrines, constantly changing beleifs & rules, prophecies dealing with certain dates using any kind of historical data to prove such beleifs ?? come on now................you're asking for a lot!
