please can everyone think twice before they make posts containing bad language (even if not directed at individuals), graphic sex talk and nude or semi-nude pictures (especially if explicit).
this is not what the forum is here for.
if you want to post stuff like that then there are lots of places on the internet for it and, more importantly, if people want to see and read stuff like that then they are quite capable of going to these places themselves.. i know everyone likes to 'let their hair down' now and again, me included, and i like pictures of sexy women as much as anyone .
personally, the sex threads don't bother me and I generally skip over them....I don't nearly enjoy "discussing" sex as I enjoy "having" sex, and I don't need a "thread" for that........
But I do find the large number of sex threads odd, I mean isn't that like
going to a whorehouse to discuss religion?
i've seen it mentioned many times in many threads: "the society monitors jwd, don't post anything you don't want them to know etc.
i have even made that point myself in the past.. my question is this: does the wtbts monitor this discussion board?.
or have we all been propagating our own xjw urban myth?.
This is what a spokesman for the WTS had to say regarding monitoring the web:
"But David Semonian, spokesman for the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, admitted the group sometimes looks at the website "when necessary." He also said it attempts to "readjust (the) thinking" of those who post material critical of the religion on the web."
If that isn't proof enough.......This quote was taken from the first article in the thread:
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=28456&site=3
How do you think they attempt to "readjust the thinking?" By simply monitoring?
Why in the world wouldn't legal monitor?
edited to add: Path, I'm surprised that you didn't recall that thread............

the following letter was sent to me today, it seems the congregation letter of 5-24-02 did not make everyone happy.. silentlambs .

"I meant to say that I admire men of substance like this brother, but somebody should tell him that he's only whispering into the wind."
he's doing what he needs to do to live this life as a man,
instead of "forever" as a mouse......
and if you're really cool, you get to live this life as a woman
today is mar 25th.
ive decided to write about this and post it when im done.
dont know when that will be.
Cal,
what a bittersweet, eloquently written story.....
when Witnesses shun, they believe Armageddon is at their door...
then suddenly, 20, 25, years go by and they realize that maybe THIS life, and family, were more precious than they were led to believe...
1) i am a sister in a congregation of jehovah's witnesses in southern california.. i have a job.
i have a life.
i have a family.
beetle,
how dare those ##!!%
sue for at least $75,000 and drag their asses into federal court!
no money can compensate for the pain they caused, but a lawsuit may
be a wake-up call for these morons....

HEADLINE: REGI U.S., Inc., Reg Technologies, Inc. Sign License Agreement With Radian
Incorporated for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles -- UAV's
DATELINE: VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 29, 2002
BODY:
Reg Technologies, Inc. (CDNX:RRE.V)(OTCBB:REGRF) and its U.S. subsidiary REGI U.S.,
Inc. (OTCBB:RGUS) wish to announce that an agreement has been completed with Radian to grant
an exclusive license for the manufacture of Rand Cam(TM) Diesel Engines within the United States,
for applications in Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAV's), over 10 horsepower, including
non-exclusive rights to the worldwide sales for this application.
Radian agrees to the following terms and conditions:
-- Agrees to the fabrication and testing of a prototype Rand Cam(TM) Engine and based on
completing a working version of the prototype, agrees to give the prototype engine to Reg in order
to maintain the Radian license. -- Agrees to pay REGI U.S., Inc. $100,000 U.S. minimum annual
royalty, five years from the date of this agreement.
-- Agrees to pay a 6% royalty on sales of engines, parts and service used in UAV's including 6% of
all funding received from the Government and Military sources to develop and manufacture the
Rand Cam(TM) Technology.
i thought this deserved its own thread...below is a reply a made to one of the previous threads ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=24473&site=3 ) and i am anxious for someone to refute it...or maybe i'm right.. not quite...it seems everyone is muddling the details on this.. it seems that james mccann, who donated the stocks to the wt, invented an improved rotary engine called a rand cam engine.
his company, the rand cam engine corp is a privately held company, but he has donated 50% of the stock to the wt (but retained the voting proxy so the wt has no say in what is going on), he owns 34% and the balance is owned by several shareholders.
this company is half owner of another company called rand energy group.
herbert, Freeman was right on the money......

OldHippie,
The blasted links aren't working because all the databases I use require I.D. and passwords, that's why I didn't provide them initially, I didn't think they'd work. Then yesterday I tried one and it seemed to work, so I posted the other. Now today?
In a nutshell, REGI-US was awarded, along with ACR, a U.S. NAVY CONTRACT to BUILD AND TEST A NAVAL ENGINE WHICH WILL BE USED TO
POWER THE U.S. NAVY'S
NEW SMART WAR-FIGHTER
ARRAY OF RE-CONFIGURABLE MODULES LOW COST UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES.
this in itself is nothing, BUT
if you take a look at REGI-US's FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE, IT SHOWS

incoherant,
they certainly don't....that's why I noted that only
"their bookkeeper knows why the numbers don't add up."
edited to correct and delete link, which won't work.....
I saw one of Regi's SEC Filings posted, and its percentages of ownership did not add up either...so I went and checked other Regi SEC Filings and none that I saw added up....perhaps this is common? I can't imagine not catching such an error.....well, that's really irrelevant anyway......
