i was sent a petition stop supermarkets here in uk from selling products supplied by a company called monsanto.
i have never heard of them so i googled them and there doesn't seem to be anything good being said.
should we be worried over here?.
Monsanto the seed mafia. They sue farmers for collecting their own seeds, even when they've never used monsanto seeds.
Not to mention GMO Roundup ready crops of corn & soy.
Not sure if it's true or not, there's been reports that pigs won't eat monsanto GMO corn.
my father in law's sow has been a pioneer for what...twenty plus years now?
she has yet to see any of her studies progress to baptism.
i know this is an excellent thing but to jw's you would think it would be tragic.
“‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”
I've been wondering if the fruit symbolizes new members into the JWs, then what does the fertilizer (animal manure) represent?
Could the animal manure represent the Watchtower's literature?
And the tree keeper represent the Watctower Org?
hey guys, me again.
thanks for all the help, i was wondering how to get my hands on the old literature, i was gonna ask this nice older brother i know if he could get me some old books?
i really wanna see the failed proph...... old light for myself.

I did try that once. It didn't get anywhere, the elder sat there with a blank look on his face and said "I dunno ****, I've been over the answer with you three times now. Maybe you need to pray about this subject, and if you can re-study the material I've given you", to wich I said "But the material simply doesn't answer my question", he replied with "Sometimes we just need to trust in Jehovah, and his loving organisation".
I could have had a better conversation with my dog. At least he listens.
i've heard people here say jw's believe that jehovah will slaughter non-members of the jw religion when armageddon comes any day now.
does the watchtower teach that jehovah himself will do the killing, or is it delegated to someone else like jesus, satan, angels, or humans killing each other?
who is the actual killer in the picture?
During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
So you won't die, you'll just wish that you could ... kind of like when you're at the meetings.

So according to scripture, after one year with no fruit they should be (figuratively speaking) cut down.

Who's suggesting a vegan diet?
Vitamin B-12 is manufactured by friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract. This is true for all vegetarian animals, including human beings. I've known a few people deficient in B12, they(my brother, father-in-law, and a good friend) were all big meat eaters.
A deficiency of Vitamin B-12, which is a forerunner of pernicious anemia, is not necessarily due to dietary inadequacy. A report released from a Vitamin B-12 Conference stated, "Pernicious anemia appears to arise not from shortage in the diet, but from impairment of the ability to absorb Vitamin B-12." (Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 71st Scientific Meeting, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, January 5, 1952, p. 295)
i'd just stand at the door and not knock on it or ring it.
if someone came, i'd make a presentation - "here's your tract!".
otherwise i'd just wait a couple of minutes and then go to the next door and not knock.. .
I always went with someone. I preferred someone else do the lying.

Here's a hint, this isn't for berry harvesting:
No, they're not. But the fact remains, you don't know exactly what they were used for, and therefore can't prove anything with them. For all we know they could have been used to defend the tribe while collecting berries?

Which facts?
Note: There is no useful, meaningful, or even vaguely-scientific anatomical/physiological/biochemical definition of "omnivore". Is my dog an omnivore because he eats an apple every now and then?

Before I left the JWs I started asking questions. Your post describes exactly how devout JWs responded when I asked difficult questions.
Mostly when I asked questions they said they'd get back to me. On the rare occasion they did get back to me, they had multiple pages of printed material from the Watchtower CD ROM, which didn't even address the original question.
My advice on JW critical question asking is:- you'd be wasting your time.
