  Question regarding Faith...(adamah)

  by tec in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  peace!.

  you have stated (and others have agreed and stated the same) that faith is not based on evidence, or it is not faith to begin with.

  may i ask you, then, if you think the apostles and early disciples, who walked with christ, had faith?

  Tec only talks that she believes, she never actually shows true faith. She never handles snakes like the gospels say true believers will be able too.

  climate change is a legitimate concern - especially as it affects poor nations.

  however, the subject has been twisted by greedy global elites resulting in disappointments (if you wish to call them that!

  Anything else is just an appeal to authority.

  mP:

  I have never mentioned authority in any form. Why lie and claim that i did. I was only referring to raw numbers like the graphs we have been posting.

  Stay on topic and dont invent words from my mouth.

  Bohm:

  damn straight. Context. None of those "averages" over "decades" or anything like that. Context is when you look at the last 5 years. I totally see it now:

  mP:

  The article does not qualify the total number of decades. You are pulling information from a different set of graphs. These same graphs as i have stated contradict each other. One graph claims the temp of the about 2000 is much hotter than early 1900s and yet your own graph shows for Australia a graph that varies but overlap.

  Read the text for what it says exactly. They did a bad job by not including the total count of decades. If they are going to tell you its the 5th hottest then they better tell you out of what. When i look at your last graph there are 100 years, and guess what 2000 was the 5th hottest out of 10, which doesnt sound that impressive, but rather is normal.

  hi mp - did an honours thesis on US foreign policy and interventions during the Cold War - I am very familiar with US interventionism and how bad it has been recently and was before Vietnam but between and the 2nd Gulf War (the 1st Gulf War was a sensible and measured response to Saddam's invasion of Kuwait; and Somalia was misconcieved but relatively harmless) it was significantly curtailed unitl George W made the mistake of getting involved in Afghanistan and Iraq.

  mP:

  And tahts the problem, there are too many mistakes. Mistakes that have costed millions of lives and untold damage. We dont call Hitler a mistake, we judge him as a war criminal. The sad thing is GWB was not the first to start a war, its practically an addiction of the US.

  Fraz:

  I still maintain that the strength of the US military is primarily defensive and actually decreases global conflict by acting as a deterrent.

  mP:

  YOu can call it what you want, but the US has been an aggressor and started more wars than nearly all other countries around the world put together. Its hard to be labelled peaceful when you start or support so many wars.

  Fraz:

  I can see why it looks like an oxymoron but you do need to recognise we are in a period of unparalleled peace and the strength of the US military is one of the reasons for that.

  mP:

  Actually that is completely untrue. When the chips were down in WW2 in 1939 who stood up against Hitler ? The British Empire and its friends were the only ones who had the backbone to stand up and fight and help Europe. Sure America eventually joined the fight and earlier on it sent supplies, but E, Australia and Canada and Russia were the ones fighting from the beginning. WW2 was won by mostly Russia not America.

  Sure America stood up against the Taliban, but considering they got their arms from America in the first place what does that tell you ? The Taliban while criminals and terrible people were never a world threat in any form. They were local and locked in their sad corner of the world.

  In terms of fighting for principal, the USA didnt stand up when it counted. Most of Americas little wars are just a bully fighting small opponents. You never see America challenging Russia or China, because they cant.

  Simon:

  What an idiotic comment.

  mP:
  Why is it idiotic ? You do realise that most of the world doesnt think the US military is honourable but quite a terrible organisation. Just like we judge the Roman army as being anything but benevolent the same is true of the US military. Need i remind you of the blood of tens or hundreds of thousands in Irq and Afghanistan.

  For those armies to be busy they need support. Those in the Naval yard help make that possible.

  Next time try and criticise what i say instead of childish comments.

  What proof do we have? How did we pass the inspection in 1919?

  by Quarterback in

  2. friends

  with the new light, the governing body apparently passed the master's inspection due to our focus on preaching the kingdom at that time.

  we were the only ones doing this according to the july wt re all those changes.. but, were we really doing this in 1918?

  i thought it was only the colporteurs.

  him and another brother will be in our neck of the woods tomorrow from bethel which is and hours drive away and would like to know if i could meet them downtown.

  i will be bringing with me the transcript to my jc but not the recording.

  although there's names on the papers there's no recorded voices or my signature so there's nothing they can do as far as sueing me, right?

  besty:

  The grey boxes show decadal averages.

  @besty

  yes but like i said 5th hottest out of 5 is not impressive. You need a bit more context. Its sad you cant see how poorly that info is presented.

  @mP - Another impact of sea level rise is to put you out of your depth and us out of your misery.

  Why not stick to your original statement - "global warming is a sham"

  Everything else you have written is embarassing.

  mP:

  Again more bullshit. The sea has been going up for thousands of years. Just lots of hype and words and so low on proof. Here we go again like all those bible thumpers who insist moses and the exodus happened but they cant show anything remotely convincing to match. Your like thos xians who want to believe because they believe.
