OK my son stumped me with a thought provoking question about the Oil spill and I would like your help to formulate an answer

we had been talking about the massive oil spill and who all should be held accountable, when my son asked a question.

that i had not given any consideration to.. he asked,"since all that oil was underground to begin with and offshore, what would have happened if there was no oil rig out there but yet a massive earthquake hit out there miles under the sea and oceanfloor, right where that oil deposit was located, and the earth opened a crack all the way up to the ocean above, what would happen to that oil?

who would be responsible for the clean-up then?.

StoneWall

Thank all of you for your responses so far.

Black Sheep, it's funny you mentioned tectonic plates because thats the very thing my son was saying and focusing on.

From what coffee_black posted above, it seems this is a naturally occuring thing with oil being sent into the ocean periodically.

I enjoyed that article.

Marvin I must not be understanding what you typed above correctly. Are you suggesting that Earthquakes don't ever leave cracks or holes behind? I understand the part about earthquakes moves ground.

I will quote you then post some pics and tell me what you mean.

Marvin said:

An earthquake moves ground, it does not make and leave behind open holes. The amount of matter involved is far too extensive to allow massive release of deep underground deposits of oil because of an earthquake.

Now look at these pictures and also you can do a google search on "pictures of earthquake cracks" to see more.

My Grandfather.

by The Finger in

my grandfather fought in the first ww.

he was in the trenches in france, he was gased and survived we always thought of him as one of the "generation" when we were kids.

he lived to almost 90, died in 1979.. he was always against the "truth" he mocked, he referred to my parents, his son, as a bible basher/thumper ect.

StoneWall

The Finger,

I just located a similar thread on which I as well as many others responded to happenings of "strangeness" very much like what you describe,all the way to the depositing of the item in a waste bin. You might find it interesting to look over it.

The thread is here:http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/187642/1/A-Demon-Experience-This-was-is-very-serious-to-me

He took it away from the house and deposited it in public waste bin some mile or so from the house.

So my question is this, after he did this was there ever any strange phenomenon or unusual occurences reported in the local papers or news that seemed to suggest other people started "seeing" similar things happening there in relation to these items? (either the waste bin location or the public landfill that would have received the mentioned items)

If not then why do you suppose there was none?

And if so could you offer up a scan of a paper or a internet link to support this?

What does Jesus do all day anyway?

by Terry in

without sounding crass or being impudent or deliberately caustic i'd just like to know one thing.. what does jesus do all day, exactly?.

is it interesting for him?.

is it productive?

StoneWall

Wow! new light,

I never thought about it like that. There is a lot of similarities between Jesus and the generation that saw 1960-1979.

Peace ,Love, sandals,long hair,beards etc..

This sounds a lot like dudeism. www.dudeism.com

Who would be responsible for the clean-up then?

Also depending on the size of the crack there could be potentially hundreds of thousands gallons more oil spewing out than what is comnig out of that smaller drilled hole.

How would you answer and what would make you think the way you do?

*Edited to add*: I understand that this is more like a composite question instead of just one single question but he is a stinker to me today. I guess just view it as similar to the composite sign of the end that the WT told us about. Not just one sign but many making a composite.

OK lets just say for sake of arguement, armargedon comes, god wants to know why you left the JW's. What do you say to him?

sorry for the long title.. i don't belive this will happen for a second.

but its an interesting question.

there you are at armargeddon, and god asks you " why you left the jw's?

StoneWall

I would ask him why he went to such great lengths to hide himself from mankind.

Why was all the evidence that was recorded in the bible supposedly/miraculously taken away from mankind in our time?

(A few that come to mind is the ark of the covenant, Noah's ark,tablets ten commandments were written on, no bones

of any giants in the earth 'nephilim', etc.)

Why are blondes so much fun?

Why do we get in trouble for having more than one wife, yet David and Solomon had hundreds?

Why when you told the Israelites not to have a King as the nations do, you went ahead and allowed it?

Why when you told Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the one tree and yet they did, you didn't allow it?

Did You Experience THIS When You Were Awakening From Mind Control?

by mentallyfree31 in

back in december, when i awakened from the wt mind control - i would wake up for several weeks in the middle of the night thinking "what are you doing?

you know the witnesses have the truth".

every day or so these thoughts would return.

StoneWall

n.a.c. said:

I am happier than I have been in my life.

I too echo those same words and can agree totally with them.

To me personally the most powerful words in the scriptures is when Jesus said you will know "the truth and the truth will set you free."

Whether you're a believer or non-believer those words hold so much force. Everyone should pursue truth.

Truth will neither run nor change. You can never disprove truth. Something is either factual or false.

As I started learning these things my mind was opened up and I was no longer afraid to question anything and everything.

If what someone told me was truth, then they shouldn't worry if I talk to someone who didn't hold their viewpoint because ultimately if what they said was truth it would hold up under even the most intense scrutiny.

dear StoneWall...

Jesus is working through Blondie's charity to help others. (we love because He first loved us)...

"in" Blondie, Jesus is reaching out to the lost...He is not slacking off and getting others to work for Him

love michelle

Is this something that Blondie herself has personally said or is this something you have personally assumed she meant?

If she feels what she says/types is what Jesus might have meant, I have no problem with that.

If she feels what she says is directly coming from Jesus himself, the main MAN himself, then I would view it as no different

than the WT society speaking for JAH and would process it accordingly then.

What Super Powers does Ted Jaracz have in heaven now??? Any?

by Witness 007 in

so congrats ted your a "king and preist" in heaven ruling with jesus, so.....how is this different to his bethel job?

he can"t smite me for showing disrespect.

does he sit there and take down names for armagedon?

StoneWall

First heaven= you can spy on people and see them doing naughty things in their bedrooms.

Second heaven= You can get to be messengers,errand boys etc.

Third heaven=Most are treated as third class citizens(not even second class) and have to sweep the streets of gold and

trim the trees of healing along the great river. If any of the harps need repairing, these also will be sent to the ones in

third heaven to be fine tuned once again.
