richard carrier gives a talk on the differences of religion and science, their inherent history and applications by humanity.. i think he introduced some interesting thoughts.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyrkmidsvye.
Finklstein I don't have time to watch it right now.It's a good post I'll bet.
My personal observation is that religion is learning how to toe the party line like a politician does and science is all about learning how things work. There has been lots of science that goes unreported because the real joy that scientists discover is the joy of finding things out. I am thinking about Fermat's last theorem here.
look closely at the figures below and see how much water california has left from its major source of water the sierra mountains:.
my advice, not that any politician would take it, would be to eliminate most agriculture in the state.
almonds, rice and alfalfa, are all thirsty water guzzling crops that neither those in california nor the rest of the nation needs.

truthseeker100, I too am doing some voluntary reduction even though the owner, for now, pays for the water. I'm afraid of the drinking water being gone from one day to the next. When that goes it will go fast.
I've stockpiled about 40 days worth of drinking water, 20 if I cook with water. It's not really enough.
I had no idea it was bad there!

Village Idiot California is a desert state like Nevada. I enjoy strawberries we get get from there in winter.and that's about it. Look into farm subsidies in the state and you will see the corruption I am sure the poor poor farmers there with their illegal Mexican workers making less than the minimum wage would agree.
very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.
Oh yes, she had humble beginnings in a poor backwoods Canadian province.
Lets be clear here, Saskatchewan farmers wipe their ass with non taxable hundred dollar bills today, just like they did during the great depression. It does not surprise me that she would seek out a life living off others, that's what she was brought up to do. Humble beginnings my ass!
It must be nice to own land live off of it not pay tax on it and on top of that, get a nice little check from the government each month. Sounds like a governing body recruitment poster. LOL

watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.
following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.
along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.
threads on the newer jw face of public "witnessing" have shared in common the astonishment that jws safely park themselves behind their literature trolleys and exercise incredibly little contact with passersby.
whether the poster is talking about europe or the united states or australia, descriptions here are the same.. literature stands are protective sheilds behind which jws huddle, talking to each other, sipping on their espressos, whilst the disinterested world passes by.
neither the jws nor the passersby catch each others eyes.

the jws at the time in germany where considered part of the aryan race, (since they were not jews).
then things changed for the jws after rutherford mailed a letter to hitler bragging about jehovahs kingdom on earth.. so can we add this to the bloodshed that that the watchtower corp is responsible for?.
OrphanCrow you sure do posses a wealth of information. Thanks for providing it.
