My parents said you hav'nt seen green till you've been to the English countryside but I've never been back but it sounds lovely. And the pork pies are supposed to be the best, my father would.nt eat one unless it came in a tin from home!

It's funny how the poms are like New Zealanders living here - they whinge about this place but hardly any go home.

warning posting while drunk.

why is jesus so interested in his second coming going to be in america?

why did god bury books made of gold in america that only can be translated inside some hat?

How many well known "cult" religions actually started outside of the USA , perhaps this should be asked instead?

America bases it's freedom on it's constitution which provides a fertile base for free speech in religious matters. Imagine trying to start a new freaky cult in Turkey ,or Greece for instance ,or in the former USSR , even with a large population it was the lack of a constitution like America's that blocked free speech.

And don't forget the Americans are very good at selling things eg McDonalds ,Amway ,Mary Kay etc all very tightly organised selling machines perhaps modelled on the WTS

....would it be of any surprise to anybody if the suck-ciety did in fact declare that matthew 24:14 has been fulfilled and they can discontinue the preaching work?

imagine the savings that would mean for them in printing each month???

wouldnt they be able to just leave a pile of study articles for the troops in each kingdoom hall instead of printing billions of magazines left to line parrot cages and garbage cans of laundromats worldwide?

since sex is strickly forbidden before marriage.

at the time (1970's) kissing was even frowned at too.

Even non JW's have an awkward first time - mine was the front seat of a mini with my legs and butt hanging out the car with the door open ,and just at the best moment a police torch shined up my butt, and a voice from the dark said "what do you think you're doing?"

And the cop had a female off sider ,hell I could die right now! I think I've been waiting to get this off my chest for years

It must be "Global Warming"

by Warlock in

snow in malibu yesterday.

.

this morning i had to scrape the ice off my windshield and back window.. on the way to work i saw many a frozen front lawn and most cars were covered with ice like mine.. all on the outskirts of los angeles.. it must be "global warming".. warlock.

I guess I'll respond, that's what was said back then and it had the weight of the "system" pushing it as a feasible possibility - some very intelligent and well studied people came up with the the theory pushed as credible fact. Well today some very educated people are saying the opposite - just look at the data they may say ,but as we live for very short periods of time ,who can say that the very educated ones are hitting the nail EXACTLY on the head ? Where's the guarantee everything that is published scientifically is dead correct today when it may take long periods of time to evaluate the data properly and see the consequences of doing what we are doing on the planet?

It is very hard for ordinary people to make decisions on global warming based on what strangers say ,and are we expected to just believe the current theories around when money motivates everything on this planet and the people giving their "expert" opinion on both sides have their own agenda . Have we not seen this from politicians,religious leaders etc who are all looking for the support which means money?. This sounds cynical I know but just remember we believed the crap the WTS told us and what do we think now of that "knowlege".

Can anyone guarantee what they say about global warming will still hold up scientifically in 30, 50 ,100 years. Does it really matter what view we have on both sides of the debate personally? Will it make any difference ? No It's too big an issue for any individuals to make a difference really in the short term - sure an awareness of the poisoning of this planet is useful but frankly does anyone think they can beat the political and commercial system geared to use and abuse and do little to replenish and restore.

Please don't think I'm not giving a damn about the environment . The company I worked for allowed me to revegitate and restore company polluted property and I got 2 Goverment awards for this work ,but business only does this as window dressing to hide the larger picture.

This global situation is what plays into the hand of people like the WTS ,they look at the world situation and then hook on their answer to this and gain converts to their line of thinking by putting an extra-terrestial solution which could be viewed as the easy way out.

Politicians sell their solution ,business says there's no real problem and really history gives us the answer - mankind shits in his own nest ,always has and always will and time will give the TRUE outcome. We can sit in our backyards and meditate on whether the weather has changed as we remember it but we only live a little time here so what do we know? And the data is only a 100 years old or so ,can we really pinpoint the future accurately when the world has been here for such a long time and has had many changes not caused by mankind.

What we are left with is evidence that some parts of the world rejuvenate after crisis, but some parts never recover as far as we can see.(deserts etc)

So whose got the all knowing wisdom now to predict exactly the future effects of our activities ,come forward now and let's see if they're exactly right in 30,50 100 years time?

This black and white debating on different issues has gone on thru mankinds history but who calls them to account when it is found later they were wrong. The hippies of the sixtees blamed the establishment for all mans evils back then ,but they grew up and put on shirts and ties and became part of it so they did.nt fix the world (I was one of them)

Without sounding too much like an Awake magazine I think as individuals we don't stand a hope of fixing this world on our own because it's full of people who will always be divided condemning the arguer instead of the argument,only a creator god could change the people first and then the environment, that's my view anyway looking back over the time I've been here.
