  Your Thoughts, Please (Seriously)...

  by AGuest in

  may you all have peace!.

  on occasion, dear ones post questions on the board that have a "legal" undertone.

  sometimes those questions are just trying to get a sense of what questions such one should ask (perhaps of an attorney), sometimes they have to do with very ordinary events, and sometimes they really do require in-depth legal assistance/analysis.

  It is my official legal opinion that it is illegal to give legal advice online. . .

  OH DARN IT!

  what do think of the pictures in the new public edition of the watchtower (feb. 2012)?.

  how can you let kids look at pictures like that, when you're not allowed to watch violent movies?.

  How do you view human authority?

  between 1 and 100 rate how you respond to human authority.

  where 1 is being in favor of anarchy and 100 is being in favor of humans having full control over your life.. me: 25.

  No seriously though, I think we need some examples here. We talking about the level of government intrusion into our lives?

  So like North Korea would be a 97, China would be a 88, America would be a 80, Australia would be a 60?

  It's hard say unless we have something to compare it too.

  What happened in 1991? Crime has been declining since then, even though the population still increases.

  "Well, of course you can't accept statistics at face value, newspapers are biased, researchers are prejudiced, scientists are in it for the glory, yadda yadda yadda..."

  Because newspapers always downplay the bad things in order to get better ratings. . .

  congress has lifted a 5 year ban on horse meat, for the non-vegans are you game.. i remember being in france, nice, and walking into a boucherie chevaline (horse butcher) and seeing a skinned horse hanging on the hooks.

  vivande de cheval, its a big animal to see up close in that condition.

  had a great buffalo steak the other night with my son at a local restaurant..

  "what's next, eating your own pet dog?"

  Some people have pet pigs. . . and I genuinely don't give a crap if they feel disturbed by me eating pork. Nor would I care if they ate their pet pig.

  I'm not a pet person, but if I DID have a pet pig, I'd still eat pork. Pork is not hard to come by, so I'd eat OTHER pork and not eat my pet.

  So yeah, I'd eat a horse, and I don't care if eating dogs is allowed as well.

  the co who is covering the central valley, mentioned how easy this concept is to understand.

  in his talk, he said many of the friends had made a "big deal, over little.

  he used the "titanic analogy, used the space shuttle analogy.

  So my great-grandfather was alive when the titanic sank.

  He was still alive when I was born.

  So therefore I'm part of the generation that saw the titanic sink!

  Does anyone else actually use that definition of 'generation' or it JUST a witness thing?

  big deal, over little

  "Hey everyone, your only reason for believing that paradise is less than a decade away. . . yeah it's wrong. Nu-lite and all that."

  "Turns out Jesus was high when he was talking about the Generation and actually meant something even more vauge then we had previously thought. And basically it could be another couple hundred years in this system instead of months. "

  "But I'm not sure why you guys are making such a big deal out of it. It's not like you neglected saving for retirement or anything right?"
