Here is a very interesting video on GREEN TECHNOLOGY in the works for the future.
It shows the actuality of using hydrogen peroxide water for fuel. I think you will be amazed. This is a viable solution.
For those who play the stock market.... this is an insider's tip!! Watch for initial public offering on this one!

restrangled....
That may seem idillyic and appealing to many people---no bugs, no pests, no weeds....
But a lot of those bugs are very necessary for pollination....not just bees. there are parasitic wasps, pollinator wasps, other miniscule bugs that invariably pollinate asthey trample around.
Many of those weeds deter certain insects from your crop and some a planted purposefully as a decoy.
Many of those weeds have mega nutrition and are edible. Many have health benefits and can remedy various diseases.
Have you ever stopped to look at the beauty of a "pesky caterpillar". The markings and coloration and design are awesome. What magnificent talent created such a thing?
And now you tell me they will all be gone? Those creatures are half the fun in my world. Each creature from ants to termites to worms have a valid purpose in the ecosystem. It would fall apart without them.
If these bugs and weeds are to be banished in the new system... if they are whats causing so much problem here...then who made them? Satan? Certainly God did not create such beauty and function to be destroyed because people have not learned to micro manage their environment???
This type of non-logical is probably why wbts oppresses higher education. Heaven forbid any of you should become botanists.
this is an interesting thing .
wonder if any of you have heard what the governing body is telling the witnesses to do?
my 22 tear old son was e-mailed by his fanatic witness mom, my ex-wife.
But where will they go away to?
When this "persecution" starts and they have to leave...where will they be going?
Will Brooklyn put them up?
<edited to add> from Blondie:
We are trained around here in general to prepare for tornados, having about 3 days supplies
What???? A week-end long persecution? Is that anything to be worried about?
Most of us could fast for that long. Why make a big deal for a 3 day tomato throwing event?

with only repetitious and boring manna to eat?
Awakened, I don't think manna would be so boring after all. Maybe it would be the best way to get beyond thinking about the dead bodies you are stepping over and picking up the bones.
Are Psychedelic Mushrooms the Biblical Manna?
Exodus 16:14-24 indicates that MANNA was definitely a MUSHROOM. It was a small round thing in the morning dew, it bred larva, and would melt to mush if not dried.
Fly's eggs cause larvae/worms in mushrooms. Daniel 5:3-5 with Exodus 16:32 and Hebrews 9:4 indicates that the mushroom was a DRUG. Those who drank from the cup containing MANNA had visions within the hour. Psilocybin takes 30-40 minutes to induce visions.
Hebrews 9:4 makes it clear that MANNA was the most holy thing to Israelites, kept in A POT OF GOLD in the ARK OF THE COVENANT, in the MOST HOLY OF HOLYS. Psalm 78:24-25 calls MANNA FOOD OF ANGELS, just as MAYAN/INCA PRIESTS from Meso-America called it TEONANACATL FOOD OF THE GODS. Coca and Tobacco Leaves found in Pharaohs tombs suggest it was ancestors of Mayan/Inca Priests who brought MUSHROOMS to Egypt.
MANNA is an Egyptian word, not Hebrew or Aramaic, meaning: The BREAD OF GOD. This is what Moses called it in Exodus 16:15. BREAD OF GOD equals: FOOD OF GOD, equals: TEONANACATL.
John 2:6-9 indicates that Jesus made water into wine by boiling mushrooms (Mushroom-Tea), the waterpots were made of stone, not clay, (stone pots were used for cooking, clay pots used for storing water)...
These pots already contained 2-3 firkins of a substance before the pots were filled with water. A "Firkin" is an Old-English measurement meaning a fourth part. Half to three-quarters of fresh mushrooms with water makes a potent tea. Tea is the safest way to consume field mushrooms, killing dangerous bacteria like E. Coli.
In the Atharva Veda, the Hindus called this Tea SOMA. Greeks called mushroom jelly AMBROSIA.

even Wikipedia seems to think so, too:
Manna (sometimes or archaically spelt mana), (Hebrew: ????) is the name of a food which, according to the Bible, was eaten by the Israelites during their travels in the desert; until they reached Canaan, the Israelites are implied by some passages in the Bible to have only eaten manna during their desert sojourn [1] , despite the availability of milk and meat from the livestock with which they traveled, and the references to provisions of fine flour, oil, and meat, in later parts of the journey's narrative [2] . The manna is also briefly mentioned in the Qur'an, with the Sura of the Cow [3] , Sura of the Heights [4] , and Sura of the Flattening [5] , mentioning the divine supply of manna as one of the miracles with which the Israelites were favoured; these passages only describe manna as being good things which have been provided ... as sustenance [6] .
Stands to reason this could be why they walked around in circles for 40 years!!
it seems that in the latest editions of the wt "the great tribulation" is being referred to as something that only the witnesses will survive.
for example, here are some references pulled from the upcoming members-only study edition: .

Gore: Award Puts Focus on Global Warming
The UN has had no backbone for years. It has been rather "disorganized". But with a powerful liason person who has many powerful contacts and backing...this will all change very soon. Actually, it already has.
Can't you people see what's coming????
Wake up and smell the coffee!
Edited to add:
Oh my God! Al Gore is the Ani-Christ!
No, Bryan. He is the FALSE PROPHET.
Anti-christ is collective. "anti-christ" is not one person, but an entire group.
if a person accepts and admits to being the most evil being on this earth.
can he ever be proven to be a self righteous hypocrite?
or is he just a evil sinner?
salaviating dog.....is this you?

Only proper in LEAP YEARS!
Leap Year has been the traditional time that women can propose marriage. In many of today's cultures, it is okay for a woman to propose marriage to a man. Society doesn't look down on such women. However, that hasn't always been the case. When the rules of courtship were stricter, women were only allowed to pop the question on one day every four years. That day was February 29th.
According to English law, February 29th was ignored and had no legal status. Folks assumed that traditions would also have no status on that day. It was also reasoned that since the leap year day existed to fix a problem in the calendar, it could also be used to fix an old and unjust custom that only let men propose marriage.
The first documentation of this practice dates back to 1288, when Scotland passed a law that allowed women to propose marriage to the man of their choice in that year. They also made it law that any man who declined a proposal in a leap year must pay a fine. The fine could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves.
I've got a Jonah and the whale...
wonder if i am the youngest around (20)....sorry, young people have many why's...
1) humans die because of adam's sin.why animals die?
were they already dying before adam sin?
SPIRITBOI, BECAUSE OUR ANIMALS DIE, MANKIND HAS FOUND A WAY TO PRESERVE THEM TO TIME IMMEMORIAL...OR AT LEAST UNTIL THEY WEAR OUT. SOMETIMES WE MAKE ANIMALS THAT DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE REAL ANIMALS SO WE CAN AVOID THE HURTFUL ASSOCIATION WITH THE PETS WE HAVE LOST. LIKE THIS ONE....OUR BARNEY

I bought my wife a solar clothes dryer. 100 ft. of rope and a sack of clothes pins.
Air-drying is better for your clothes. Laundry machines toss clothes around, causing wear on the seams and sometimes snagging things with zippers. If you use a washer and dryer, you subject your clothes to twice as much tumbling as you would if you used only a washer. The heat of the dryer causes elastic to break down and T-shirt lettering to peel. It can also distort the shapes of knit garments.
Air-drying reduces wrinkles. If you remove clothing from a dryer immediately and hang or fold it, most items are relatively unwrinkled; however, this requires careful timing. How much time does your dryer save if you have to hang around waiting for the cycle to end or face a session of tedious ironing? Clothes which have been properly hung for air-drying will dry in the right shape, virtually wrinkle-free, and will be waiting when you're ready to get them.
Air-drying completely eliminates static cling. Electric dryers produce static electricity by rubbing clothes over each other repeatedly. Avoid this process, and you'll avoid the static! You'll also save money on fabric softener. True, air-dried clothes feel a bit stiff at first. Just remind yourself that the stiffness means clothes are freshly washed, and soon you'll find that those "nice soft clothes" feel dirty!
Air-drying is good for the environment. In many areas, electricity is produced by coal-powered plants. Reduce your electricity consumption, and you'll reduce the burning of irreplaceable fossil fuels.
Best of all, air-drying is free! If you use coin-operated laundry machines, you know that dryers account for at least half the expense. If you own a dryer, you're paying for extra electricity and repairs.
"the environmental quality of your wardrobe is ultimately determined by the way you wash it. A recent study by Cambridge University's Institute of Manufacturing found that 60% of the energy associated with a piece of clothing is spent in washing and drying it. Over its lifetime, a T shirt can send up to 9 lbs. of carbon dioxide into the air."
