Good News - Alternative Energies
by Amazing ingood news alternative energy .
while on the subject, we could already start to reduce and eventually eliminate oil, at least to the point where we would only need to use our own resources and may buy oil from mexico and russia.. solar: while seemingly forgotten, this is still a growing industry.
solar assist panels for homes are still selling.

I recently ran a Capstone MicroTurbine through my string of Motor-Generator Sets on an evaluation basis. I run, install and maintain about a dozen various units, totaling about a megawatt of power.
(Why do I use electric motors to drive electrical generators? That is an older UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) technology, but the Frequency Changer Sets are an effective way to get 50/400 Hz from 60 Hz. The 60/60's are the mysterious ones. We use them like gigantic light dimmers. It's next to impossible to get Variacs over 50 KVA & the solid-state stuff doesn't like or fit the dynamic range and nasty loads we require. We make the solid-state stuff, now. So, we use the old M-G Sets for 75-300 KVA Zero-Power Generator 'light dimmer' style controllers.)
The Capstone will run on gaseous or liquid fuel. This is the basic decision you make: gaseous or liquid. That selects the injectors. After that, the computer adjusts the combustion for any fuel you feed it. It will burn high-sulfur fuels, really contaminated gaseous stuff and sludgy petro products. In the oil fields, these things will run on UN-REFINED crude oil!!! It meets or exceeds clean-air standards. I'm not sure I trust that on those previously mentioned worst-case fuels, but they designed it to really clean up the exhaust products.
The unit starts on battery and has UPS type output. It has to, with the peculiarities of the turbine. It takes about 2 minutes to start up, so it has to 'go on battery' for covering a line drop. It also has to 'go on battery' for 'step loads'; notice the RPM range: the turbine idles at 45,000 RPM and runs at about 90,000 RPM, 'full tilt'.
I used the 60 KW/100 KVA model, with 480 Volt 3-Phase output. We ran it on methane, using the 'six-pack' of industrial/welding type gas cylinders caged together. We were sent a hydrogen/methane gas regulator, but changed to a specific methane regulator. I recall that this model cost about 52K$, less than 1$/Watt!! The unit ran nicely, smooth power & quiet.
Well, the super interesting application is that in north LA, there is a sanitary landfill that has 50 of these units (30 kW models, I believe) running off the METHANE that evolves from the dumpsite!!! For whatever reason, it doesn't run continuously. But when it does, that is 1.5 megawatts on FREE FUEL!!! And the exhaust is claimed to be CLEANER than the gas that evolved!!!
That's the closest thing to free energy that I have seen. This deserves to go on your list.

Need some information...
by Andyman ina jw on another site posted this today:.
the verdict is in!
almost all of the anti-jehovah's witness organization have been completely quiet about the arrest and detention of the person in denmark who posted on the "yourselves and to all of the flock", and the society's other secret documents, in violation of international copyright laws.

Kent,
I see you didn't drown, LOL.
Anyway, could you provide some illumination on the copyright details
that the Dub touched on? Printing out the whole thing goes beyond the 'fair useage' principle (excerpts are defined, typically 20%). How did that work out?Mustang

I still hide out, after 20 years. I usually go to movies.
So, the 1st year I moved to California, I did this. Well, my roommate knew nothing of Dubs, but he did the same thing. Except he stayed in the back room, lights out, TV on the floor & eating popcorn.
So I get back at 9 o' clock and he says to go ahead & turn the lights on. As soon as I do, the doorbell rings!!!He says I'll handle this, goes to the door & tells the kids 'the candy is all gone'!!!
As Running Man sayas, I'm leaving early to hide out!!!

To all interested in the UN/WTBTS threads:
by LoneWolf inthere is a tremendous amount of information on those un/wtbts threads, so if someone has already covered this, i apologize.. away back on page 16 of the first thread, machislopp posted something thats been nagging at me.
he quoted an article in the guardian mentioning the top 25 recipients of foreign funds in india.
one paragraph included the wtbts.

Somebody should get something on this. As they say, 'follow the money'. This seems to be a 'matter of public record'. Some financial report will put an end to that 'library card' nonsense.
A library card with a 3,000,000$ door-prize? I don't think so.It wouldn't even matter if WTS can explain it away as some 'rogue' activity by the Indians: 'just imperfect men' gibberish. The question there is what about 'spirit-directed' guidance??? This
was done at a director or 'officer' of the corporation level. That's 'upper management' level activity. Some brother that needed to borrow a book for the Writing Department didn't just go sign WTS up & get 3,000,000$!!!If the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and it is blamed on men, then you can't have 'spirit-directed' guidance. If you have 'spirit-directed' guidance, then how did this impropriety happen?
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!!!
Oh, I forgot: you'll think what we tell you to think, WTS speaking.

Politically Correct Bombs
by metatron inherein we have a reason why jws don't discern why the world is.
progress isn't linear or consistent, therefore.
it takes some discernment - a quality lacking in shallow, knee-jerk.

How about that!!! Meta, I've been thinking something quite similar. Y2K came & went with a whimper, compared to what the doomsayers thought. I got some doom & gloom from my own personal JW hell, but the end result was a serious fizzle.
We didn't nuke ourselves into a glow-in-the-dark planet, when we had the chance.
Bush also gets marks for going into Afghanistan slow. A really fossilized author who just wrote a book on Harry Truman characterized Bush as 'just learning' for taking a month to drop the first bomb. That really contrasted the rashness of previous generations. Such a 'rush to judgment' can't be tolerated these days.
It may be that ALL learn something from this episode of history:
Western civilization, moderate Muslims and the radicals.Maybe things would go the way the doomsayers (JW's & others) say, IF society & civilization didn't drive itself towards MATURITY & GROWING UP.
It is quite possible that centuries from now, we will still be plodding along, solving the next problem.

Golden Rule Dec 1 WT......
by ISP inthe article has the front cover title of the golden rule is it still practical?.
the first paragraph says as follows....... those words were spoken nearly two thousand years ago by jesus christ in his famous sermon on the mount.
in the centuries since, much has been said and written about that simple statement.

Two questions:
Is this the current WT? I assume that it is. There are those of us who do not have access to this wondrous material.
Since when does the WTS quote heavily from about every other Holy Writ that can be imagined?? (Speaking of imagination, this includes some proverbs which are probably 'maintained' purely by word-of-mouth!!!)
I'll add rhetorical question(s) (that shouldn't count): Does this mean that they sit around reading other PROSCRIBED literature? If so, do they assign individuals to do this? Are these individuals periodically 'reverse brainwashed' and re-indoctrinated w/ WT philosophy???

A letter I received from a JW
by Novus inthis is a letter i received from a jw, sent anonymously.
it was hand-written in red ink, and i have little doubt that had the composer a supply of blood handy, he or she would have written using that.. this was received in response to a very compassionate letter my wife and i sent to our former friends and family, telling them of our reasons for leaving the organization.. the attitude expressed here is typical of the treatment we have received since leaving the wtbts.
(i am roundly blamed for my wife leaving the org, since she was considered to be "strong in the truth", whereas i was always a nominal witness at best.).

What would a meeting be like if.....
by roybatty ineveryone on jw.com were jws and attended the same congregation.
now, i'm not saying that we'd follow brooklyn's rules (how boring).
instead what would it be like jw.com style.

We had a mock Field Service meeting complete w/ scramble for seats in the '57 VW (I pioneered in that death-trap) on live chat one evening.
Some notables participated. It was an interesting and nostalgic effort.Mustang
