baptized at 12?

i'm considering what to say to a friend who's thinking about letting her 12 year-old get baptized.

okay, guys, let 'em rip!

Tell your friend to think twice.

First of all, the fact that the parent must approve the baptims tells to any reasonble person that something is not logical.

Then show your friend the statitistics, the prrobability that the child will later leave the WT is very high.

Then how is that going to affect their relationship?, Appeal to the emotional side if the logical argument does not seem to work.

Must children don't know, are not sure, what their working career or kind of employment they are going to be seeking as adult, isn't that your case?.

The kid is just emotionally attached to the WT and his parents. All religion seem an emotional feeling more than anything else.

When a CO asked me the baptism questions I notice on his face that my answers did not satisfy him, but i got dunked anyway. My family was in the elite "circle" and a source of $ for the heavies.

Take it from a member of the

he became 82 on may 8, the wt propagated news long ago about his death has been "exaggerated".

he always gets back to me even if takes some time to write.. recently he received shipping of 3000 copies of crisis of conscience (4th edition), 158 cartons.. but he is getting help now from (edited), a russian young man, including managing his website www.commentarypress.com.. he is starting to get feeback from latin america such as mexico, chile, argentina and others.

internet is getting around i guess.. pending on his family health issues, he wants to go back and revisit puerto rico and dominican republic where he started his "career", becoming branch overseer, and is well known...

I keep on telling him about so many of us have been set "free" thanks to his writtings. You know the true "true shall make you free".

Complaint,is not his style, by the way i rembember his wife, Cinthia, was always smiling she is beautiful too, but he can use any monetary help, a "donation" a check or money order "for your trip to the Caribbean" dont sound bad.

Or anyone can orden a book or too and tell him to keep the "change", thats what everyone does at restaurants for "food" which do not provide lasting benefits. The food he has provided for our minds is much better, dont you think?

If you dont need the book just give away or donate to a library.

He sent me, for free, boxes of his previous book editions, with specific instructions to donate them, it has been my honor following the instructions. .

His "career" was missionary by his qualifications the WT president asked him to go to Bethel, around 1965, to work on major writting project and to become a GB member as his major acomplishment, within the WT of course.

His uncle was the number 2 in brooklyn, actually number one when you think about it, his uncle was the "oracle" who could "rationalize anything".

But such blood relationship had nothing to do with his climbing, he could and can shine by himself as you can see by the books he wrote for the WT, the best in my opinion.

So good were his WT writting that caused him some trouble eventually..

No you can see his other writtings as he freely started thinking outside the box at brooklyn.

Alan or anyone from Colorado, H2ICE etc

by one in

as you surely know h2ice is the 'precursor' of the 100% hydrogen fuel cell ev.

in some states there are hydrogen pumps (not gasoline pumps) installed.. this outfit is dealing on the matter.

i emailed them, but if anyone can provide an opinion based on experience or having seeing (or will be able to) their shop or operations would be appreciated.. http://www.hydrogencomponents.com/cvi.html

prototype? are you kidding?

They are fully tested and operational everywhere, car buses trucks, submarines, megawatts electric generators etc etc ALL FROM FUEL CELL

Problem is OIL COMPANIES and company, they don't like the idea. Therefore

1.- the Hydrogen to supply the fuel cell is not available everywhere,

2.- the cost of the fully elctric vehicle, EV is very expensive as of today, production is a very small scale as there is no demand.

SO they are manupilating to control hydrogen supply, which is going to be very dificult unless they get the goverment to do just like iit did with alcohol/whisky production, controlled. With mr. Bush in power that is given.

So the precursor is the H2ICE vehicle, (hydrogen internal combustin engine), the same old crap only to run on different fuel, hydrogen.

You can buy one from Ford Motors (Focus model) right now and used in the california "hydrogen highway" and some other places where gasoline xxx i mean hydrogen pump station have been installed.

the "outfit" in "COLORADO" is promising to be able to convert (fleet conversion) your vehicle from gasoline to hydrogen, NOT FUEL CELL. As it is right now they dont seem to be too serious with the proposal.

Can you find out who they are?

i have wifi at my house and i'm being constantly deconned.

every 15 seconds or so, my network is freezing up.

is it because i have spyware or a denial of service virus or is it because i may be getting a bad connection?

A decent unit should give you a signal strengh indication on screen somehow, just like any good radio.

Some machines and radio comm equp be cause interference, the sourse tipically can be located with special test equip. such as spectrum analyzer and "direction finders"t

There are 3 channels and the unit automatically tune to the a channel which is not being utilized by someonelse nearby or has less interference.

Why does God need to be worshiped?

by Scully in

just curious about this question today and wondered if anyone else has pondered this.. is worship meant to be a reverent show of appreciation for life that god imparts to individuals?

if that's the case, and someone - by the mere accident of their birth - has a truly crappy life, why should these people worship god or show him "appreciation" for their unfortunate circumstances?

why should anyone who endures hardships worship god, particularly if they have been worshiping god and then all of a sudden a heap of trouble just plops into their lives, unannounced and unwelcome??.

Grrrrr... they turned off my cable

friends

i have had a cable modem for at least three years now and as a side effect i had basic cable the whole time... today i get home to find that some f. what really pisses me off is that earlier this year comcast sent me a letter saying that because i did not subscribe to any cable service, they were going to add a $10 a month surcharge to my cable modem service... their way of forcing me to pay for basic cable.

now all of the sudden they want to force me to actually subscribe to the cable service, plus all kinds of "extra" charges that cannot be avoided.

this really pisses me off.

Cellsocket is a device that will "convert" SOME cell phone to a phone line.

In other words any device, Direct TV box, fax machine, regular wired phone, will '[see' your cell phone as if it were a wired phone line.
