lets see they slaughtered the indians that live on this land, wiped out the buffalo which starved many to death, put them on reservations, reduced many of them to poverty.. and now the us government has the biggest military in the world that cost its tax payers plenty and no government health care.
kind of makes you wonder if freedom is just a 4 letter word with dom added on.. not only that but they have spent trillions$$ on weapons of mass destruction, they have the biggest stock pile of nuclear weapons that can kill all life on earth several times over.
and if i refuse to pay my taxes because i don't like the government is wasting so much money on the military, i will get thrown in prision, and if they want to they can use the patriot act to torture me, refuse me a fair trial.
..........in my experiences thru life.......i have noticed that people that complain & do nothing..........accomplish nothing
on the otherhand....people that do something about their complaints....accomplish things....make changes....however small they may seem at the time....they have put forth an effort to make a difference........

when you eat crackers, do you lay them out salt side up, or salt side down?
do you put them in your mouth salt side up, or salt side down?.
are there any other dumb questions you can think of, to post on this thread?.
...............when you eat oreo's......which side of the cookie do you eat first, after seperating.....
...............why do you park on a "driveway" & drive on a "parkway"

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?).

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"...

for those who feel that i've hijacked your thread(s), i'm still relatively new here, so your forgiveness (based on this acknowledgement and apology) is appreciated.
i'm posting this link, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/131766/2343640/post.ashx#2343640, on the other threads as soon as i can.
bear with me as i attend to the necessary housework involved.. fred/q..
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!
