YK,
I do not advocate his proposed solutions to the looming crises.
Do you support the Tower's solution?

16Who Is This Larouche Guy Anyway?
by Englishman ini keep falling over the sayings of mister larouche everytime that i take a peek at you knows posts.. i decided to investigate some of his writings.
it seems to me that he has 2 bees in his bonnet, the first is that the usa is about to plunge into economical decline, the second indicates that 'lil' ole england wants to subvert the entire united states and pinch all it's wealth.. can someone give me some background on this fellow?
is he a respected sort of guy or is he a shrimp short of a seafood salad?

You Know, what a clown
by Cygnus ini see you know is back.
i haven't been keeping up with the boards in some time, but i see that robert is still here, trying to support his rather unique blend of larouche/rutherfordian end-time predictions.. well, i happened across the thread between yk and amazing, and i noticed that yk once again had his facts in error.
he said that larouche got 25% of the democratic primary vote in arkansas in 2000. i assume he meant 2000, because larouche wasn't close to 25% in 1996. well, the fact is that larouche only got 21.53% of the primary vote in arkansas in 2000. is that such a big number so as to make larouche a real, viable candidate?

When you right click on a picture, and left click on "properties" the URL is listed. Just copy the entire URL (sometime the URLs are two lines long; don't add or take anything away.

digderidoo,
For some reason the URL you are using ended with jpg.gif It shouldn't have both. Take the .gif off the URL and your picture will show.

Hi digderidoo,
To post a picture on this forum one needs a link to another site that's typically a gif file. For example, the above flag is found at http://members.aol.com/dcreelma/imagesite/animated/new/animatednew0011.html Go to the flag, right click on the picture, go down to "properties" and click; you'll see the gif or jpg file. Copy and paste the URL when you post, and the picture will show. It's that easy.

New Kingdom Halls Necesary?????
by Downdog01 inif enrollment is down why are so many new kingdom halls going up?

Hi Ozzie,
Making money on the plans and building materials : Don't think so, have you any details?
I left before Quick Builds were started by the Tower, but I've seen posts about the process. From what I understand, many of the building supplies are controlled by the Society or by suppliers the Society "recommends." The supply costs for theocratic material is typically higher than what the JWs could buy locally. I do not know this for a fact, but I've seen it posted by others.
RE: Interest Charges--let's say a group of JWs borrow $500,000 from the Tower @ 3% interest. These are funds the Tower has or receives without interest. On a $500,000 loan, the Tower gets about $15,000 a year from JWs on this loan when it begins. This is nothing more than a building used to recruit others willing to work without pay for a publishing firm. By the time the local JWs nearly pay off the loan, it's time to remodel or build again . . . and the $$$ keeps rolling into the Watchtower's large pockets.
As others pointed out, the Watchtower has ultimate control of these properties if the congregation folds. The local JWs borrows money from the Tower, pays interest to the Tower, the Tower owns it in the long run. Not a bad deal for the Watchtower, I think. Random House Publishing can only dream of tax-free deals like that! "Follow the money."

Follow the money Downdog. Where do Witnesses go to borrow the money to build Kingdom Halls--the Watchtower Society which gets the money without interest. The Tower also seems to make a lot of money on the plans, building material, etc. As DeepThroat said in All the President's Men, "Follow the money!"

WHY THE WORLD IS DOOMED
by You Know inin referring to the preflood world, peter said that the heavens and the earth had been stored up with water, and that by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.
the christian prophet went on to say: "by the same word, the heavens and the earth that are now stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of the judgment and of the destruction of ungodly men.
in furtherance of highlighting the apostate's blasphemy that jehovah is going to come streaking out of the clear blue sky one fine day and slaughter billions of innocents while they sleep in their beds, the apostle's brief comments on the topic of jehovah's judgments contains some interesting insights.

Giving the Gift of Life--Blood
by JAVA inmy elderly mother was hospitalized twice since january, and received blood transfusions both times.
she is alive today because of this life-giving treatment.
i donated blood last week (the first time) for the following reasons:.
-
-
JAVA
Enlighted UK,
A survey was carried out involving 300 UK hospitals regarding blood transfusions. 69.1% of problems involving blood were caused by patients being given the wrong blood type in the first place - not because of any disease in the blood itself. This problem could occur with medication, allergies to food etc.
Medication errors are a major concern. Thousands die yearly because of drug errors e.g., wrong medication, incorrect dose, allergic reaction, and side effects. HMOs in the USA have forced hospitals and clinics to cut personnel so insurance CEOs can make millions at the expense of people needing medical treatment. I'm not sure who are the biggest slugs of society; health insurance CEOs or the Tower's Governing Body.
Hospitals are very concerned about matching the correct blood type to patients. Even with personnel shortages, most hospitals in the USA have two employees check and re-check types and so forth before giving blood.
Like you, I firmly believe groups like the Watchtower violate some basic human rights. It's very difficult suing religions for a variety of reasons. It's just as difficult finding lawyers willing to sue if the rewards are questionable to nil. However, exposing the Watchtower as a crackpot sect means fewer join, and that gets the Tower where it really hurts--their bottom line $$$.
hawk,
You bet, until an issue strikes home, it's easy to do nothing--that's human nature. But if former Witnesses want to send a message to the Watchtower Society, roll up your sleeves and give a unit of blood at your Community Blood Center. It could be an interesting story for your local newspaper, if it's a slow news day. Be sure to vote in the next election, too!
