this will be very interesting, i only wish it would make the rounds on the jw emails the same way "knocking" did, fat chance!

we can only hope that pbs and nova will jump on this bandwagon as well, sooner than later.

The Nuclear Threat from China

hello everyone, a few weeks ago i was researching china and their emerging status as a super power, i learned about the bric alliance which is an alliance formed by brazil, russia, india and china, the projected growth of their economies and the support they are providing for each other, pretty interesting stuff.

my husband and i have been commenting on how it seems that russia and china are joining forces (even had joint exercises with their militaries), then there is venezuela and the support they have received from russia, iran and china, it all seems like there will be a future conflict involving these nations and the us, unfortunately.

i just found the following article which also spiked my interest since it brings home the point that this country is wasting it's resources and it's fighting force on this supposed war on terror while the real enemy is empowering itself.

hi all, i found this on the net, this is really sad.

i've finally decided that to get the real news about what goes on in the world you have to go outside of the information controlled us news networks.

WTS still an NGO in US?

2. bible
hi all: i came across something very interesting, in looking at this pdf there is a list of ngo's that attended for some conference on anti-semitism and guess who is on there?

if you scroll down you will find that in belgium the wts (under their european christian jehovah's witness umbrella) but if you scroll down to the us section you will find that they show up as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, so apparently as of 2005 when this conference was held, they were still an ngo, does anyone else know about this?.

Marijuana & Schizophrenia

1. watchtower
2. bible
hi guys, i was researching this because of something that's going on with a family member, and i found it quite interesting since some other family members who we have tried counseling on the use of this substance told us that marijuana is not addictive, that it's an innocent plant and is not harmful yadayadayada, yeah right!

i intend to go over this with our kids and make sure they understand the documented dangers of this very popular drug.

i just wanted to share it with you all.

hey guys, do any of you know whatever happened to these xjw's?

i'm curious to know, gene birdsong was a co in tx and was df'd for apostasy he was a very nice man, very caring wouldn't it be great if he was posting here?

episcopo was a do, he was also a very nice man, was one of the few that gave exhilerating talks, that did not put you to sleep, he was df'd a year ago, that was totally unexpected, i wonder what happened, these guys probably found out the truth about "the truth"!

Living in the Worst Times? NOT
by ICBehindtheCurtain in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i just saw this article in us news, just thought i'de share it.

the wts and other religions love to push the idea that things are so bad now, that we are living in the worst times in history so we will only live for the "new system" bs, but the reality is that i wouldn't trade where we are now for any other time in history.

if we on this board would have lived in the inquisition we would have been burned at the stake after endless hours of torture only for disagreeing with the church and choosing to be a free thinker.
