  ......... and i live out here in northern california !

  i mean , they go to all that humungous labor, build a huge box to put over the oil gushing out and wham 5,000 ft. deep it gets clogged with ice crystals.

  now they are talking about a couple other alternatives in the news- all the while today haliburton, bp, and other reps are meeting with federal officials getting into a pissing match and fight over who is responsible for the spill ?

  Cerberus: Guarding the Gates of Hell - Dynecorp, Pegasus, BP, Goldman Sachs - Gulf Oil Disaster Planned?

  

  "First, this is not an “Air Force Base” — it is a PRIVATELY OWNED FACILITY known as “Reynolds Airpark” a private Airport and “manufacturing facility”. A Mr. Ted McGowan is the manager – and their phone number is: 904-284-3505. Second, these are not “U.N. Vehicles”. These white vans belong to Pegasus International and Cerberus/DynCorp..............Now, for the BAD NEWS —..............Dyncorp Int. was “purchased” back on April 12 by Cerberus Capital, and the “deal” was brokered by, you guessed it, Goldman Sachs who SHORTED TRANSOCEAN STOCKS on April 17, three days before the Gulf Oil debacle began. (See here for more details about that)..........."

  Why should I have to sign a letter saying I want to disassociate ?

  by troubled mind in

  2. beliefs

  i don't understand why the elders want this letter so badly ....for one i don't remember signing a contract to become a jehovah's witness ,why do i need to resign ?.

  also i was baptised in 1978 before the baptism questions changed , i dedicated myself to god not an organization .

  my vow was to follow the direction by holy spirit as revealed to me through the bible, not the watchtower ...... if i belonged to the luthern church and quit going after three yrs they drop your name off the member list ........but if i chose to come to easter or christmas service everyonre would still talk to me i just wouldn't be a member any more .. .

  I think for them it's closure. They don't have to do anything. You've done it for them. They have to periodically visit the df'd -which they obviously don't want to do. But I never heard of visiting one who da'd which basically accuses them of apostasy. They don't want to deal with that. For me it was a comfort to kick them out.

  started a new topic b/c i didn't want to threadjack another ongoing pointless debate.

  You were never told that absolute loyalty was the primary basis for good standing.

  And you were never told that unchecked elder abuse was the method of enforcement and that it was systematic.

  And you were never told the consequences and that it was all unscriptural.

  So df'g was just a just word without meaning.

  Why do I suddenly get stupid when the elders talk to me

  by JWinprotest in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  does anyone else have the same problem.

  when i'm alone, i am constantly thinking about all the clever things i'm going to say if visited by the elders, but when i actually get confronted, these things never come to mind, and i keep spitting out drivel like some dumb idiot.

  after they leave, i rethink the conversation, and i'm furious over all the oppotunities i've missed to put them in their place.......damn it!!!!!

  What do they have to say that is so all powered intimidating unless you're guilty of immorality? MEEETINGS, MEETINGS, MEETINGS, FIELD SERVICE FIELD SERVICE, FIELD SERVICE. And what's compulsory about any of that? Nothing, but if you disagree you've shown APOSTATE LEANINGS.

  So they're hitting you with something unscriptural to begin with, with the threat of excommunication if you slightly disagree by word or action.

  Psychologically that's a pretty unsettling situation because it's bullying. You're playing their game and it's their rules.

  They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You have nothing to gain and everything to lose. So you either fold or go all in with a pair of 2's.

  Tar Balls Wash Up in Fla. as Obama Heads Back to Gulf

  (June 4) -- Tar balls suspected from America's worst-ever oil spill began washing up on the Florida panhandle's pristine white beaches this morning, while BP said a containment dome is capturing some of oil gushing from its underwater well. President Barack Obama, who canceled another overseas trip to deal with the crisis, is heading back to the Gulf Coast today.
  
  ABC News aired video of lumps of semi-solid oil littering Pensacola Beach, but it's not yet confirmed that they're from the BP spill. "To hear that there is oil there is one of the most disturbing things that we could imagine," Florida Gov. Charlie Crist told ABC's "Good Morning America."........

  This is a favorite tactic of the leftists. Disagree with anything about Obama and you're painted as racist.

  ie, you can't question his character, but they will seek to discredit yours.

  Maybe somebody can calculate better about the volume that's gushing out daily - but if the 70,000 bls is accurate, then by my reckoning that's an area approximately 20.4 miles wide and long and a foot and a half thick, EVERY DAY!

  Same reason people can't accept the JFK murder wasn't conspiracy to commit a crime and not believe the cover up.

  Has nothing to do with ethnicity or religion.

  Blagojevich Corruption Trial May Touch Obama
  Wednesday, 02 Jun 2010 07:49 AM
  
  
  "Even Rod Blagojevich's lawyer finds him a bit strange, which may provide the key to the former Illinois governor's strategy at his upcoming corruption trial -- he was all talk, but no action. Among the 24 counts of fraud, conspiracy, bribery and racketeering that could land Blagojevich a long prison sentence are charges he dangled President Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder or demanded a cabinet post for himself in exchange for naming an Obama aide to the seat. Since his arrest at dawn on December 9, 2008, Blagojevich has repeated his mantra of innocence in nonstop interviews, in a book, on the airwaves as a local disc jockey, and to anyone who would listen on NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" television show.
  Married with two young daughters, the 53-year-old former two-term Democrat governor and, before that, three-term U.S. representative said he is trying to make a living since being impeached and ousted last year by the state legislature........."

  I can't figure out what this guy did that was so bad. I mean I guess it's SOP to offer a Senate seat as political payback for cronyism, but it's criminal to hold an honest auction among members of Local 12- "Villains, Thieves and Scounrels Union" ?

  all things considered approx 7 p.m.. william galston thinks the key to less polarization in the electorate is compulsory voting.

  it's the disaffected, the angry, who vote.

  Another way for the New World Order to know what you're thinking. Just another conspiracy thought.

  Never mind - just be happy.
