  I casually mentioned to my JW friend yesterday that the local paper carried the AP article on JWs. He asked what it was about. I just said "something about the changes in the blood policy over the years." He acted like he had no idea what I was talking about. He responded, "as far as I know, it hasn't changed." I forwarded him the link to the article. He hasn't commented or responded, but hopefully, just maybe, it has planted a small seed.

  Very simple. The letter to the WT should ask for a copy of the original application to the UN to become an NGO. Why would they refuse to disclose it if there was an innocent mistake?

  this article about the global warming issues is interesting.

  perhaps the human race will wipe itself out sufficiently that the planet can recover from his impact.

  The world has been far warmer than it is now, the world has been far colder than it is now. I say bring the warming on. I'm sick of snow.

  I saw Aeon. I thought it was going to be cool because I liked the cartoon, but the film was awful. It was probably one of the worst movies I saw in 2005.

  Also no luggage no debris found at the penagone site. Now tell me. How does all that vaporize?

  That's patently false. Just look at the pictures of landing gear and engine parts which are clearly visible in the pentagon wreckage. I have family who were in the building at the time the attack occurred. Spreading this conspiracy BS only serves to smear the memory of those who were killed by the lunatic terrorists, both in the pentagon and on the plane which slammed into the building.

  Your refusal to look at the pictures, both of the wreckage and of the grounds, which clearly show a skid mark on the grass where the plane ‘”skipped” off the ground before it hit the building, betrays your willful ignorance.

  Yikes! Propaganda everywhere

  by joelbear in

  from the watchtower to commercials to talking heads on the news shows.

  everyone wanting us to share their point of view.. they want our minds, our money, our votes and our mouths to spread their propaganda.

  propaganda controls the cultural and social order of the world.. it takes more time to read, listen to thoughful educational programming and do research, so 99% of people just follow the.

  I stopped watching any meaningful amount of TV several years ago. I was amazed by how different the world starts to appear.

  Whenever an organization has to say "We're not a cult!", then you know it's a cult.

  This article is doom and gloom and full of anecdotal tripe. I'm of the generation the article talks about and I'm doing just fine. It's about choices. I decide not to max out my credit cards, I worked through college and graduated with no debt, and I own a house. All it takes is financial discipline. Heck, I even live in the state with the nation's worst economy.

  I choose not to buy every kewl gizmo that catches my eye, I have a paid-off car, and I sock a bunch of money away into my 401K and IRA. I think our generation has the chance of doing FAR better than our parents, and sooner. I think one thing lacking, though, is financial education.
