Hot of the Press!!! YEARBOOK 2013 :Letter from the Governing Body

by raymond frantz in

yearbook 2013 :letter from the governing body.

dear brothers and sisters :our heavenly father,jehovah, is the personification of love.hence the bible states :"god is love".

(1 john 4:8) even though jehovah is almighty ,his word never says ,"god is power" or , "god is might".he bases his rule primarily on love.how this attracts us to him!.

BizzyBee

Out of love for Jehovah ,last year you brothers ,sisters,and young people spent 1,748,697,447 hours proclaiming the good news. Prompted by love,7,782,346 shared in the field ministry worldwide.

This is what its all about. Love Jehovah by knocking on doors.

How this touches our heart!

They share one anonymous, collective, singular heart? Kind of like a..........God?

A little fungicide in your Morning Joe

by designs in

most of the central american coffee growers are having to deal with 'coffee rust' which can cause the plant to suffocate and die.

countries like guatemala have declared a national emergency and are allocating funds to small farmers to increase the use of fungicides and pesticides on their coffee plants.

columbia, known for its arabica coffee plants, has seen production fall over 30% due to the 'rust' and in other central american countries the loss has been over 50%.. .

The widespread use of fungicides has resulted in not only pest-resistance, but it also kills natural predators, resulting in the use of increasingly stronger doses. The heavy use of herbicides plus other industrial farming practices such as mono-crops, has led to tolerant "super-weeds" that grow strong and tough enough to break farm machinery.

Meanwhile, Monsanto gobbles up enormous profits through their near-monopoly and the world's food sources are increasingly threatened.

Blood Transfusion Increases Mortality in Heart Attacks

by Earnest in

i understand that the objection to blood transfusions by jehovah's witnesses is purely a scriptural one.

whether or not there are medical benefits to avoiding blood transfusions is, or should be, irrelevant.

however, for those who are not convinced by jw understanding of the scriptures in this regard, and those who don't believe either in the bible and/or in god, the fact that blood transfusion is associated with increased mortality in heart attacks may be of interest.. a systematic search of studies published between january 1, 1966, and march 31, 2012, was conducted using medline, embase, cinahl, scopus, web of science, and cochrane central register of controlled trials databases.

An interesting piece of information, Earnest.

every once in a while, you read an article that really puts it all together (or spot on, as some would say).

ever on the fringe,.

What is the overall context within which these conspiracy theories are developed?

One broad generalization is that conspiracy theories seem to primarily be the province of the right wing. The RW distrusts government the most, wants government to shrink to nothing, does not see any useful function for government and actively works to undermine the authority and powers of the government. It is logical that they would most strongly support the notion that the government is lying to us about everything.

Consider the most prominent conspiracy theorist.

I'm not sure that qualified as a "theory."

Consider that the right wing faction were quite open about their plans for Clinton just as they have been about Obama (" The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.")

Therefore it is a demonstrated fact, not a theory.
