hi, it's been about a year i haven't posted on these forums (which have changed wonderfully, by the way... nice job simon!).
anyhoo, i was wondering if anyone could help me.
i've read a while ago that the watchtower got sued for polluting.
Thanks sf, again! I also found this page by looking around on jw observer...: http://epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ozone/areas/plant/ny/pl36678x.htm
I don't know how much this shows that the WT pollute as much as any other press factory... I'll have to look into that.

Thanks, sf, that's what I was looking for. I think I also saw some pictures of that shale mine... is there a thread somewhere containing those pictures? (I tried doing a search, but can't change pages once I do... only one page of results is given...:( )

Hey lilacs, good to hear from you! Well, life is doing okay, things are a'changing round here, what with a tattoo in the works and such..:p I'm actually way out of the anti-JW "swing" I once was in, now I just don't care... I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but anyhoo, my aunt apparently said that Bethels have one of the top 10 best printing machines in the world in the non-polluting department, so my cousin wants me to refute that claim. Thing is, I'm positive I once saw something about some litigation against Bethel for their pollution. Hopefully someone will find it!
Hopefully everything's doing okay for you too!!

Hi, it's been about a year I haven't posted on these forums (which have changed wonderfully, by the way... nice job Simon!). Anyhoo, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I've read a while ago that the Watchtower got sued for polluting. I think it was New York who sued a Bethel for polluting. This of course goes against their own dogma, "God shall destroy all those who destroy the Earth", or something to that effect. Could someone please refer me to some documentation proving that they do otherwise? Thank a lot!!!
what are some of the stupidest comments made in the watchtower, or by a circuit overseer or elder that you've never forgotten?
the one about" the rapist being human" too, ranks right up there....like we're supposed to feel bad for him?
Reason given to me by an elder why he didn't like the "Simpsons" : "The action goes by too quickly."
WTF?
One of the stupidest comments was actually the lact of one. A CO was coming over for dinner, a
huge meal that my mom and sister took hours to prepare the evening before, and guess what... even
after all the entrees, the main meal, and the dessert, he said absolutely NOTHING about the meal.
Absolutely... nothing. Aaaaaargh. Can't you just feel the love?
i've taken note that the person that goes by the name "outlaw" continues to post daily.
yet, he hasn't entered the thread whose title bears his very own name.
yes, conveniently, outlaw skips past a thread that calls him to account for the lie he spoke about yadirf.
Oops... I mixed Yadirf with YouKnow.
Add me to that list, would you?

two and a half years ago, my daughter got in the car and asked, "mom, what's a jehovahs witness?
" and our lives changed.
like most people out in the world, i wasn't sure what a jw was.
((((((((concerned mama)))))))))
I should be the one thanking YOU for being such a kind, sympathetic person with whom I can confide in. You've helped me much more than I have helped you, believe me. You're a one-of-a-kind person, and a loving, understanding mother to boot. What can I say.... Thank you for being there for me!

i believe we'll be seeing more and more evidence of evolution as our science and technology gets better.
i have to admit, though, it's pretty weird admitting that you come from the same common ancestor as the common mouse.

when you were getting fed up with meetings before you gave up, was there anything you did to deliberately get on the brothers nerves?.
i turned up to a meeting once with jeans on, and a red top with cccp on it with the 'hammer and sickle'.
i also went to another bs group a few times so that if i wasnt at one group they'd think i was at the other and vice versa.
I've told this one a couple times already, but it's basically the worst (and only) thing I've done to piss the elder (s) off...
At a district convention, a "brother" on the podium had the braindead idea of saying the "Simpsons" were an example of the wordly attitutes invading our lives. At first, I was just shocked, realizing what he had actually declared to the masses. Insulting the Simpsons? This with other, more vulgar programs like "South Park" and "Ally Mcbeal"? Well, at the time, I almost took it as a personal attack (Ah, my childhood days) and I finally got the courage to talk about it with an elder a few months later. He didn't have much to explain what the brother had said, and I think he was a bit surprised that I was so steadfast/obnoxious in my opinion. No backing down for me, nosirree. So anyway, we both disagreed after a bit of discussing. A few weeks later, he comes back to me with the same topic. Again, we discuss, I refuse to acknowledge the "truth" of the "brother's" words, and the discussion ends. The discussions finally ended when I talked to a CO about the issue ( Kids...) and to my surprise and joy, he acknowledged brothers had to be very careful about what they said "up front". So I went back to the elder, confronted him with the CO's words, and he finally told me something smarter than he had before... that brothers sometimes told their own opinions up front. Now that was a breakthrough, wasn't it? ... Or maybe not.
Never getting baptized after 16 years, even being born in the truth, also pissed them off... especially one elder, who went through a particularly annoying phase where he would ask me after my "talks" when I would get baptized... aaaaargh.
Not much, but even now, I'm sure I annoy them on a subtle level... after all, how could an 18 year old, out of the truth, possibly remain respectful, calm and keep a non-rebellious attitute? Hehe... gotcha there, pal.
