i was reading the post on "old radio" shows, and it brought to mind the old westerns that flooded the t.v.

stations back in the 50's.. i remember the first day we had a t.v.

installed, my sister and i were outside, and saw the "new" antenna on top of our roof, and ran in to watch the "new" black and white t.v., and enjoyed shows like milton berle, howdy doody, and others my memory forgot.

i have read the topic "no trespassing..." and can't keep frm asking "are you afraid of dialogue?".

i thought we were in america where we have freedom of speech, i have the freedom to approach my nieghbor oin conversation and he has the right to either continue the discussion or say "not interested" .

this whole thing about wanting to erect signs seem to cut off the freedom of speech that america says it prides itelf on...what happened?

OH-- what's wrong with us... I have a NO Trespass sighN... have to .. I have equines (horses on premise) and pay a very stout "attractive nuscience" rider on my property insurane...

Of course If that sign works on religious zealots who wanna spout cult BS to me on saturdays I 'spose it's money well spent.

So, Junior, whats your point?

Which Mini-van should I buy?

by confusedjw in

can those of you with mini vans help?

(3 years old, 50,000 miles).

if you have had one would you buy it again?

hillbilly

I have owned 2 GM Astros... very happy with both... owned a Honda Oddesy...head and shoulders abouve the GM product... a little more? Yep. but the resale was great... Hondas are tough as nails and the ride and finish was superior to the GM product. The Honda was buit in America too

That being said , the Honda was a "people hauler"... If i was towing a small boat or trailer or a lot of cargo, I would have stayed with the Astro... an S-10 pickup with a van body..

Hill ( dont worry , I have owned nearly 20 GM cars in 25 years class)

Is Global Warming a Myth?

by Sirona in

friends

i've been reading about global warming recently and to be honest its getting more confusing by the minute.. some say there is so much evidence that it is caused by humans (burning of fossil fuels etc) but some say that it is a natural cycle that we shouldn't worry about.. http://www.junkscience.com/news/robinson.htm.

what is the truth?

are you concerned about our planet?.

i read the post where some kid let go of a helium balloon at a convention, and everyone was watching it.

when i used to attend the conventions, i loved distractions.

i always heard multiple "pssst" sounds from people opening cans of cott cola.

CORRECT ME IF AM WRONG!

i just stumbled on something at the bookstudy last week!

o.k as you all know we are studying the draw close to god book and in chapter 15: "jesus sets justice in the earth" read paragraph 10 on page 152 and tell me if you do not see a correlation: (and i quote)

the religious leaders buried god's law under a mass of man-made rules and regualtions.

hillbilly

Tresabella..

you have found just one of the the opportunities the WTBTS has left open. If emphasised by them it would help them become a humane and progressive religion. Over the years they have made some lucid points- and ignored them- matters of concience back in the Ray Franz era being one of them.

Now you know since you have found this point and published it some poor Junior proofreader must die.
