  Nathan Knorr's own circuit assembly badge?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  for what it's worth, the following image was sent to me in an anonymous email so i can't testify to its authenticity.

  she (or he, since it wasn't signed) says he/she was one of the bethel housekeepers and spotted the name tag in a waste basket.

  at that time, the early 70's, knorr was regarded by many, including this person, (though disliked by even many bethelites) as god-like.

  Quite the little fear mongers back then, fear sells and you can also get people what you want them to do

  and that is to distribute your literature about.

  You'd almost think the WTS. is a publishing house.

  Sorry guys wasn't paying close attention to the thread topic, it is a circuit assembly badge and says so right on the badge itself.

  A missing husband or wife.

  do you remember, in which "reader's question" was an article about cases, when a husband officially declared as a missing?.

  (probably he is dead or captured by somali pirates...).

  i remember, that article was very strange- there was stated that it would be possible to make a divorce.... but if such missed person will "ressurect", this couple must get married again!.

  Wyden is an ignorant alarmist who is exploiting the Fukushima accident for political gain. Below is a link to an authoritative refence on the radioactive decay of nuclear wastes over time.

  http://www.nucleartourist.com/basics/sfdecay1.htm

  Unfortunately, these well refenced charts do not document the massive reduction of radioactivity that occurs during the first year after a reactor is shut down. The general rule of thumb is that the radioactivity decreases by ninety percent for every seven fold increase in time since shut down. There are of course adjustments for how long a reactor has been operating and accumulating longer lived fission products.

  The bottom line is that while the spent fuel pool for Unit#4 contains a batch of spent fuel rods that had only recently been removed from the reactor before the earthquake, after a years time the spent fuel rods in the unit #4 pool are not significantly more radioactive than the spent fuel inventory in the other pools.

  The bloviating about the alleged dangers of Plutonium is rediculous. To many ignorant people, including Senator Wyden, presume the Plutonium is exceptionally dangerous because it has an extremely long half-life of 24,000 years. Actually, there are several isotopes of Plutonium in nuclear wastes with half-lives ranging from a few seconds to 24,000 years. More importantly, the radioactivity of any isotope is inversely proportional to it's half-life. The longer the half-life, the less radioactive it is. Most of the radioactivity of Plutonium is caused by the Pu-238 isotope with a half-life of 87 years. However; the total radioactivity of Plutonium is trivial compared to that of the fission products whose half-lives typically range from a few minutes to a few years.

  The big news about Fukushima is that the worst danger is over. The reactors have been successfully shut down in spite of failures of control rods to fully insert. The radioactivity of the reactor cores has decayed to the point that natural circulation can keep the cores cool without any need for pumps. The radioactivity of the reactor cores has decayed to the point that you could flush all of the reactor cores as well as the spent fuel pools into the ovean without significantly increasing the radioactivity naturally
  present.

  The point being you have scrutinize where the information is coming from, from retailers trying to sell survivalist products or a politician who's out

  for his own political gains.

  Some of the reason why JWS don't use Father is because thats more of the way Christendom addresses god

  and we all know how much the JWs are trained to not be similar to the religions of Christendom.

  The Father, the son and the holy ghost etc.

  Oh Nambo, the information your reading this from is from a survivalist web site , with a bunch of survivalist products to buy. $$$

  When you read sensationalized bullshit like this ....

  If an earthquake or other event were to cause this pool to drain, this could result in a catastrophic radiological fire that could wipe out most of the northern hemisphere; certainly it would be a massive civilization-breaking event.

  You should assume that it was written to incite fear causes people to buy survivalists products .......Get it ?

  Can anyone else confirm that the assembly badge is from the 1969 international district convention ?

  Just curious , I was only 12 at the time .

  12 selma recalls a lesson she learned from the witness who studied with her.

  "on one particular day," says selma, "i didn't want to have a bible study.

  the night before, steve had hit me as i had tried to prove a point, and i was feeling sad and sorry for myself.

  Man made religions throughout human history positioned woman as second class people who had to be under the subjective control and obedience to men.

  Whether its from Christianity, Muslim faiths or whatever.

  Since the gods were mostly perceived to be male of course, this embellished their identity of themselves.

  The weaker sex being in subservant control of the more stronger sex.

  Lets not forget the big international assemblies of 1969, which I believe that assembly badge particularly relates to.

  Gee I wish I kept mine.

  WT is a cash cow for who? do the GB know they are frauds?

  as i've understood it the gb has taken a vow of poverty.

  on jwn they are constantly accused of guilt tripping their subjects to keep distributing there literature to make converts in order to keep growing the number of donations which is a valid point.

  i ask this question in all honesty and naivety to see where the truth of the matter lies.

  The GB members know very well the of the wealth and power of the Watchtower Kingdom and their own pertaining positions within that Kingdom.
