my money is on tuscany, italy at the moment..
I like living in Tampa bay Florida.
I would keep this home if I was a millionare.
Many of the worlds millionares and rich and famous live here.
I would not mind having several second homes.
Colorado
Cleveland Ohio my original home and its proximity to the north midwest.
my question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.
also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .
.
If there is a God and there was a flood.
Why couldnt God just have the animals hibernate while they were on the ark.
He already performed the miracle of bringing the animals to the ark.
And the miracle of flooding the earth.
What is a little hibernation?
And why not bring baby animals instead of full size adult animals?
Just saying
God is in the miracle business.
I can understand one not believing in God and the flood.
But to say God could not cause a flood and save all the animals,
I don't understand.
here is one person's opinion on how bologna is made:.
"the odds and ends of the meat production line.
things that no one would normally eat if they could see the actual thing.
I find if you like the taste of balogna,
you can put some garlic on turkey lunch meat and it makes it
taste like balogna.
But with less garbage.
i learnt this game on another site, and its great fun.
you name a song title and the next person names another title that has one of the words from the first one, making a chain of associations.. so far instance,.

please read this short article and then think for a minute on how this apply to those amongst the jehovah's witnessses who enforce organizational policies that harm people (such as shunning, for example, but there are others, such as blood, rejection of higher education etc), and those who blindly comply with such pratices - both of them otherwise "nice, good people" in every other regards, and who apparently don't see anything wrong in doing something harmful, even evil, to their brethren.. what is this?
the "banality of evil", or, instead, because there's such a strong identification with a cause, people just accept they are doing the right thing simply because the authority that is regarded as legitimatly representing such cause has instructed them to do so?.
interesting thought - and this question too: if one ceases to see such "authority" as the legitimate agent of the cause, will that simple change cause the blind to finally become aware of the evil they've been enforcing / complying to?.

The bible also says no man is good not one.
Romans 3:10

I think if good people do evil.
They were not really good.
It was just a show.
Or a misinterpretation of the observer.
i was baptized at the age of 11. like most of us, my commitment wasnt to honor god but rather i was gang pressed into the service of the wtbts.
and, at such a young age, it was impossible for me to appreciate the enormity of my actions.
honestly, how could i possibly have known any better?
19
I had to get baptized to use the hall.
We had a big Italian wedding.
what specifically made you stop believing in god and the bible?
was it a steady road of doubts or it was reading one book or one major event that made you realize the bible was not what it's claimed to be?.

I am a non believer of the watchtower
Because of January 1, 1976.
I did not see any difference on that day from the days before it.
I also believe the watchtower company of 2014 is
a very different corporation than it was in 1976.
They used to believe that those who were of a discernable age in 1914 as
a generation would not pass away before armegedon and the new system.
I don't think the watchtower has ever been right about anything.
that they prophecied.
Which makes them false phrophets and the bible says to turn away from false
phrophets.
If we could take the governing body over to the middle east we could probably stone them today.
For being false prophets.
if so, i was just wondering if there are any books or steps (classes, etc) you took or recommend to really learn it.
and for what you recommend, what exactly do you do?
(long term, short, daytrade, calls, sell high buy low, buy low sell high, etc).
I don't know any web sites.
You just add up the closing price for the past 30 weeks and divide it by 30.
If its above that you buy and hold if its below that you get out.
If I were going to try it now in the new millenium.
I would run some numbers and make some charts to test it.
It wouldnt have worked while Bush was president because the market went side ways.
I don't do it any more because I am retired.
The idea is to make money you have to buy low and sell high.
Following the 30 week average helps you to do that.
You buy when its low but rising and sell when its high but falling.
I would keep a 30 week average on all 3 indexes the dow, sp500 and nasdaq.
then apply the proper index to my investment.
I agree with Buffets methodology of buying good companies and holding.
Which I have done.
I used the 30 week average to make money in risky sectors of the stock maket,
technology, biotech. communications any sector for that matter.
i think so.
they rejoice over celebrating the 9/11 attacks..
I vote my pocket book.
Forbes magazine which is all about money says Obama is the best
economic president in modernt times.
My portfolio is singing and thats what it is all about.
But if the republicans steall the presidency again.
I am going to gold and cash.
And I will watch the muslim attack on CNN and Fox and read about
how it was a republican conspiracy on youtube, and Alex Jones.
