with the latest surge of anti-european comments and threads from us anti-progressives on this board, a little bit american self-criticism may be appropriate.. since the eighties, income inequality has been on the rise in american society.
most economists, however, agree that redistributing wealth is a legitimate role for any modern enlightened government.
and even alan greenspan labelled us income inequality a "disturbing tend" which could lead to societal instability.
Equal Opportunity
NOT Equal Results
but not ok to criticize muslims for saudi arabia and other islamic theocracies for their behavior, funding of terrorism, etc?
discuss...
Infidel
They come and KILL you
We blow you up!!
and we don't want to to make them
seem to be bad, angry people
saw robert f. kennedy, jr. give a lecture on "it's not easy being green" and "crimes against nature" last night at utc.
he really knows his stuff about what is going on with the environment.
he talked about how the coal mining in west virginia has torn down large mountains because they dump the rocks and soil into the rivers then the mountains are gone.
The planet would kill us all off
before we can damage it too much
Electric cars get their recharges from,
the electric grid
Most of the U.S electricity comes from
...........................Coal, dirty old coal
Wind power will help
Wave power will help
Solar panels will help
Methane capturing will help
We also need to better utilize Natural Gas
It only makes sense to keep our house
in order
Nothing is simple, but it should still be done
We cannot be fanatics or Luddites about it though
We need rational, comprehensive solutions
Not ideologies and wishes
every weekend we used to spend a few hundred dollars going out to lunch.
but since less than a year, we no longer go out.
my husband business has been very slow, and on top of that, the management companies he does work for, do not pay him right away.
Uneffected yet
Feel for those who are
Been down that road myself
a few years ago
Right now though
It's a great buyers market
One's loss is anothers gain
when i finally knew that the wts didn't have the truth,i decided to take steps to slow down and become an inactive member.
( i still have my whole family in.......so..... i prefer to remain inactive).
i took these small steps :.
Got called to appear before a Judicial Committe
Actually went
There was 6 of "Them" there
After about an hour
with no end in sight
I stood up
Flipped them off
Walked out the door
That was it
Never heard another word
Most of 'em are dead now
I'm still here
Bada Bing!!
i've been doing a bit of thinking... (probably a dangerous thing, i know).
i have been 'out' for a very long time - and so have not looked at any wtbts books or magazines in a very long time.. recently, i went to a group on facebook - where there were posted a few drawings that have appeared in wt publications through the years.
i recognize one or two (one purple one from the 'paradise' book).. the one thing that stands out to me - now - is that the men, after the big 'a' are nicely dressed... slacks, shirt, pull-over perhaps... but no neckties.. so.
For Men - No neckties
For Woman.................
Same stupid dresses
Same pointy shoes
Gotta be NO UNDERWEAR
Really
Wouldn't lie
It's inspired
holy shit , i haven't been here for some time.
i recently moved and finally tossed out about 500 lbs of watchtower/awakes and bound volumes going back to the 50's .this sister unloaded them on me before she moved and at the time i thought they were like somekind of holy writings.
i kept a couple of the old ones so i can use them to start fires in my new place.
In the immortal words
of The Who
I'M FREE- I'm free,
And freedom tastes of reality,
I'm free-I'm free,
AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me.
If I told you what it takes
to reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
I'm free-I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free-I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me.
[Chorus:]
How can we follow?
How can we follow?
did you ever notice how serious i post on this board?.
it's interesting to me, but i haven't tried to make any friends.
that is because when i first left, i had a somewhat negative experience meeting someone on a jw board...(i am just saying that, it isn't the point of this thread...).
Jeff
Farkel hit it
Relax
Me
Twisted Humor
Never Debate
I express views
No need to sell
Care less what others think
Really
I'm telling the truth
I wouldn't lie
If you don't belive me then kiss off!!
<grin>
this is just as bad as wikipedia.
someone asks a question and a very uninformed jw pretends to be an experton jws and provides an answer.

What a Tool
(and not in the handyman sense)
Nothing worse than a
"self proclaimed" expert
Indeed!!
