my point that i am trying to get to is this, how can a jdub accept blood fractions if they want to view blood in the same light as god would.. am i making this clear?

Thank you Eye.. it's a change to get some sense. i remember asking to get my blood directive signed and being questioned over the fact that i had put ABSOLUTELY NO BLOOD or any FRACTIONS.

i think the elders on the committees are thicker than many of the lay folk.

new light, great organizational changes, is it the religion for me now???

martinwellborne

lots of changes in doctrine, lots of change on blood fractions etc, but absolutely no change on letting pedophiles out on the work.

USA Should Declare Bankruptcy?

the fevered efforts to save the financial system, typified by today's panicked three-quarter-point interest rate cut by the federal reserve and the bush/paulson stimulus plan not only will not work, but will backfire spectacularly, and soon, economist lyndon larouche warned today.

the financial system is dead, and any attempt to save the fictitious values of the trillions of dollars of worthless financial paper will not only fail, but will destroy any nation foolish enough to attempt to do so, larouche said.the global financial system, emphatically including the united states, is entering a period comparable to that of weimar germany in the autumn of 1923, but on a far larger scale.

whereas the damage from the runaway hyperinflation in weimar germany was largely restricted to germany itself, the current crisis is global in scale.

in regard to the latest incarnation of economic woe for the good old USA. i should say you are having the time of your lives selling everything including the kitchen sink to all the foreigners since dollars are so cheap to buy?

i am spending the week at my sons house in seattle to help him while recovering from knee surgery.

i answered the doorbell and it was a young woman by herself.

she read a scripture from james (can't remember) and offered me the a&w.

you should have taken the chance to plant a few seeds in a young mind.

the older one is hard packed wayside soil so you would have had no chance with an oldie. try next time if it is a newbie.
