You want everyone to stop using oil but do you eat meat?
by sammielee24 init takes 16 pounds of grain/grass etc to produce 1 pound of animal flesh which means that the biggest contributor to global warming isn't your car - it's animal produce.
now - we can scream about those gas guzzlers and the emissions they put out - but if we run out and buy ethanol or drive a prius - then we sit down to a steak dinner or chow down on those burgers...then don't you think that its a little ridiculous?
whats the answer?

another typical trying to make the R&F feel guilty over not giving more and more money to the society. You know it is more expensive now to print bulls**t than it was a year ago, this was said by the elder giving the talk, that is it is more expensive now than before. But they still want your money no matter what it is worth now. the talk cover pages 17-21 in the Nov 1st 2007 Bitchtower. Started of with Haggai, then the heading "How is the Work Financed? (i.e. do you get paid to go out and sell magazines???_) Then Matthew 10:8 You received free give free. . They even brought up at the "Faithful and discreet slave" in 1879 (excuse me they use to teach the FDS was Russell), in Zions bitchtower said that "Zion's Watch Tower," has we believe, (wink wink) JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. So why are we having a talk on support if we ain't begging???????
Heading consisted of things like, "How is the Work Financed?"; "Publications in 437 Languages,"; (there you are suppose to feel sorry for them because it cast money to translate bibles and literature) they also referenced a 6 yr old donating a pig he had raised and giving the equivalent of $110.00 american to the jdubs (sure that really happened); "Improving the Quality of Translation,;:" "Words that touch the Heart,:" (give me your "fing" money right now) "We Are God's Fellow Workers;" Ways in Which Some (yeah sure) Choose to Give:
Contrivbution to the Worldwide Work (of course we were told are donations are behind 'they didn't say behind what although a figure of $1000+ was given".
Conditional Donation Trust Arrangemen,
Charitable planning
Gift annuity
Wills and Trust
Just any ole way you can think of to give us your money. I believe that the settlement might really be taking a toll on the societyf now that and the growth in the poorer third world.
thats it we only want your money and preferably you should look at it as a privilege to give us all of your $$$$$$$$$$
It's always about the $$$$$ just follow the $$$$$ trail. I wold sure loie to see them give a $$$ accounting to what they took in over each year and just where the money was really sent/spent and why? They have the congregations give out an account on a monthly basis why can't the society give out an account on a yearly basis, put it in the year book like the supposed growth. In other words 3rd world growth equals less $$$$.
It was mention several times that they will not ask for money or beg for it. Well what the hell do ya call this talk about then if it ain't wanting more and more $$$$$ from the rank and file, then they bring up that the donations for the WWW aren't up to par. Well kiss my ass then.

Disfellowshipped Son needs opinion UPDATE

Personally, I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her, she is a dub, unless she recants views put forward by them I would be very careful around her. Repressed memories of abuse, what kind of abuse, abuse by mother, go figure you will gert the truth, she may blame your father and vice versa. Make sure you couselor(s) aren't putting that thought into your head. They tried that with my sister, saying she had probably been abused by her father when she was in 4 grade on., however, little did they know her father didin't even see her after the 3rd grade. So be very careful with who you are dealing with. Her dad my step father was a repressed closet gay person, i felt sorry for him having to live the life he did.

vindication
by ush419 inthe book study for this week in chapter 25 para 24 it reads, "what a shock for those persecuted.
the corpses of the two witnesses were suddenly alive and active again.
it was a bitter pill to swallow for those clergymen to swallow the more so since the christian ministers whom they had schemed to put in prison were free again, later to be fully exonerated.

The book study for this week in chapter 25 para 24 it reads, "What a shock for those persecuted. the corpses of the two witnesses were suddenly alive and active again. It was a bitter pill to swallow for those clergymen to swallow the more so since the Christian ministers whom they had schemed to put in prison were free again, later to be fully exonerated. The shock must have been even greater when in September 1919, the Bible Students held a convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, USA. Here J.F. Rutherford, recently released from prison, stirred conventioners with his talk "Announcing The Kingdom," based on Revelation 15:2 and Isaiah 52:7. Those of the John class began once again to "prophesy," or preach publicly. They advanced from strength to strength, fearlessly exposing Christendom's hypocrisy.
The words fully exonerated are what i want to find out about. I know they weren't I believe that the govt. just dropped it after the war was over like they did in a lot of other cases that were pending or being appealed.
If anyone has any info on this I would really like to see it. Pls let me know.
Truly as can be seen from paragrah sited above they are legends in their own minds!!!!!!!

cong book study week starting
by ush419 innaturally the book brings out that it was christendom that roused the authorities up against the society and had them wrongly incarcerated (after a wrongful trial of course) on false charges of sedition.
can anyone give me some info to use that can be documented of course so that i can refute this nonsense at the book study.
i have seen stuff in the past when lurking but have had to replace a lot of stuff on the computer because of problems on it.

Naturally the book brings out that it was christendom that roused the authorities up against the Society and had them wrongly incarcerated (after a wrongful trial of course) on false charges of sedition. Can anyone give me some info to use that can be documented of course so that I can refute this nonsense at the book study. I have seen stuff in the past when lurking but have had to replace a lot of stuff on the computer because of problems on it. If anyone help I would sure appreciate it, there is nothing more I like than to refute a lot of their nonsense and point out that a lot of what they are saying is nothing more than speculation. I have read/heard of it somewhere where those accused of sedition once in prison were not let loose while awaiting on appeals just as those in the society in prisoned were not given bail when awaiting on their appeal.
Any information on the amount of people and groups who were tried (i.e. quakers amish etc.) and imprisoned due to the sedition act.

Questions From Readers: Hunting/Fishing
by inkling in.
i guess this means you can maim and kill animals all you want, just so long as you don't enjoy it too much.. sorta like being a isrealite warrior who makes a living killing people but yet is commanded to "hate violence".
[inkling].

Inkling, what kind of comment is this?
I guess this means you can maim and kill animals all you want, just so long as you don't enjoy it too much.
Sorta like being a Isrealite warrior who makes a living killing people but yet is commanded to "Hate Violence"
Hunters don't go out maiming and just killing animals, most hunt animals for food, they eat what they shoot, catch. etc. possibly some who don't understand this make in appropriate comments about those who participate in hunting. Most want to sit back on their ass and let others do their killing for them. Which reminds me of dubs, who want all the benefits of a relatively free society with none of the harder things to participate in i.e. military service, police, etc.,
If you didn't mean it that way then I apoligize but it sure strikes me as a rather odd comment if you didn't.
