by freedomlover in

friends

hold on everybody....ready for this.... .

if you've been reading my posts over the past few months you'd see the research and progress my dad (a former elder) has been making.

he and my stepmom were visiting us this weekend and he told us he's done with the jw's.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Freedomlover CONGRATULATIONS! On your newly freed Dad, enjoy the wonderful times you will both share now that you can speak freely. I've pretty much lost hope and interest in freeing my Mom, since this is all she has left, she is 66 years old is a regular pioneer and recently divorced, she is completely and absolutely brainwashed, very SAD.

Congrats again,

A Very Convenient Liar - Al Gore

Confession, I'm with you, I believe this warming trend is pretty much out of our hands. I believe it's just the earth doing what it has for millions of years, continually renewing and changing. That however is no excuse to indiscriminately pollute the environment since as we all know this is having repercussions in our air quality, water and food supply. We should all work together to better our planet, all the while knowing that changes are going to occur.

I watched that program on National Geographic on the warming issue, and read some news that Scientists have discovered evidence of a tropical climate in the north pole I don't remember precisely how long ago that was, but they have pulled out of the arctic ocean remains of tropical plants and animals only known to survive in tropical weather. They think the weather there remained at around 74 degrees farenheit at this time. With this in mind, I don't think it's very wise to reconstruct cities like New Orleans, or live anywhere near the coast since these areas will continue to be greatly affected by severe weather and erosion. As the polar ice continues to melt, it will be amazing to see, what interesting things will be uncovered, maybe ancient civilizations that were eradicated when the last ice age hit, or new species never before discovered, who knows? Maybe the polar region will one day be one of the earth's hot new vacation spots !

Who was Beth-Sarim built for?

by hubert in

was it built specifically for the "princes of old", or was it really built for rutherford?.

i am getting conflicting info on this.

who are the deeds made out to, and where can i find this documentation in the w.t.

ICBehindtheCurtain

I have some really old books that supposedly Rutherford authored, but in reading them I noticed the same speaking (I was at a few of his talks back in the day) and writing style of old Fred Franz, I wonder if Franz was the true author of all that supposedly the A**Hole Rutherford wrote, it would'nt surprise me one bit!!

this angel has helped so many of us find information and contacts.

could you alone have found answers so quickly, or answers so accurate??.

this girl is a goddess.. are you sending her love now?.

ICBehindtheCurtain

YES INDEED, BLONDIE IS AWESOME!!!! If it wasn't for her, I woulda gone to those awfull WT studies that really suck big time!!! But with her very informative and timely reviews I can decide which ones are more or less barf worthy and choose which ones I can go to that won't make me have to visit the restroom every 5 minutes. BLONDIE, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, I don't even think of going to the meeting unless I read your review.

What kind of thing do you want right now but cannot afford it right now?

Enough money to set up an adoption program where good families that want children can adopt for free after being screened and approved and they would also get a little financial help to help raise the child/children. This would help so many children that are in orphanages and stuck in the foster parent program never quite getting a permanent home and family.

I would also like to establish a program that would be mandatory for all kids when they hit the teenage years, where they would experience the reality of bringing a child into this world with all the responsibility that comes along with it, the loss of freedom the endless crying and stress, and the possibility of contracting all the different STD's out there if they are not careful, I know they have a program in place now but I don't think it is mandatory and I don't think boys participate as much as girls. If there was a birth control device that had very small side effects and was completely reversible and if I had my way, I would make it mandatory that at 12 years old all children should have this device implanted until they became adults and could prove that they had completed the parenting course and that they had the means to raise a child.

This way, they can hopefully cherish the freedom and opportunities that are available for them in their teenage years and leave the parenting experience for later in life when they are ready. Oh that, and being free from debt!
