87To: Barbara Anderson -- Re: First WatchTower President
by West70 ini am primarily posting this to barbara anderson, but obviously everyone is welcome to correct or comment on my remarks as they see fit.
mrs. anderson, i realize that trying to cover all bases in your pending russell bio would be impossible, but i do hope that you will be able to include a section on the first president of the watch tower society, william h. conley.
i hope that you have had a chance to research conley with some degree of thoroughness, so as to dispel some of the half-truths that some bible students and jws try to promote (such as that conley's age and health caused his inactivity with russell after 1881).

Americans, Do You Think it's Time to Get Out of Iraq?
by Robdar inkatrina and now, possibly, rita.

doesn't homeland security start at home?

Robdar,
IIt is a geopolitical issue, power. Home Land Seucirty start at home but the whole world depend on a oil economy domintated by the USA... AND "they" feel that there will be no "Home Security" if they dont control oil producing couuntries.
"They" feeel that power and security will be lost if they allow an oil economy to change to, let's say, an hidrogen economy.
Whoever wants to become or stay as the major player, in the actual economy, will find necccessary to control Iraq and other oil producing countries... money, i mean oil, is power...

Are cellular (mobile) phones safe or not?
by greendawn in.
for a while now some scientists have been claiming that cellular phones emmit radiation that interferes with the brain and the immune system.
do you take such warnings seriously or do you think they are just alarmist and without any real basis.. http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2005/02/15/grave_cell_phone_dangers_revealed.htm

cel phones and other wireless devices (cordless phones, WI-FI etc) operate (radiate) at or near the same frequency band in which your microwave oven does.... (2.4Ghz), but at a lower power level.
Just because the power level is lower "they" claim there is no danger.

The end of cheap oil = the end of "business as usual"?
by Nicolas inthe subject of peak oil has been talked a couple of time here.
you'll find a lot of infos about it on google but i want to do know your opinion... will the end of cheap oil will mean the end of the world (death) for a large portion of the humanity or we will just adapt to the new reality?
personnaly, i think that we will have to live in a post-technological world if we put no more energy to find something to replace petrol.

Savvy countries use Nuclear power plants to generate most of their electricity, expensive to build but then produce real cheap electricity, look at France and the USA.
They could build more of them to produce fuel (hydrogen) for cars, from WATER by electrolisis. Oh but the oil companies sure want a piece of the action, who knows what they all are talking behind closed doors..
But the rest of the world is kept under control by controlling their only source of energy, oil.
They won't allow other countries to build nuclear p. plants, you know what the excuse is,...

Nicolas,
Also, there's thousand of objects (plastic) that we use everyday and they are made from petrol.
a 'hydrogen economy' is the answer,
carbon is more versatile than 'plastic' it could be made more flexible than plastic or stronger, less corrosive and ligther than steel (good to build home, cruise ships and cars, even clothing), more conductive than cooper for electric wiring and power plant generators. If you think plastic was something wait for all kind of carbon fibers to fully replace it..
Center,
The end of Petrol just spells disaster for greddy oil executives....
"Oil executives" will manipulate the economy and keep control of the new fuels, Shell is ready to switch to hydrogen as a fuel for cars in tow years (at least in Germany), no to mention other sources of energy.
water is 2 thirds hydrogen (yes cars can run from "water"), but to begin with, hydrogen can be extracted easier from HYDRO-carbons, such as oil and gas.
What do you think is the fuel used by space vehicles such as the DISCOVERY spacecraft.
