  Does Our Arguing Scare People Off???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with so much going on over here, do you think that newbies, lurkers, or potenial apostates could or do get scared off from this place?

  if someone is on the fence and they want to explore the internet and are warned that all you'll see are disgruntled apostates, could these forums make them think the "faithful and discreet slave" is actually right?

  I've thought the same thing. I can't believe that those numbers that the society puts out are 100% accurate. What's to stop them from adding a thousand here and there? If multi-billion dollar corporations can overstate their figures by billions of dollars, then I think a religious organization can overstate the figures, too.

  ok I feel like an imbucile for asking the obvious HAHA. What I meant was is that a bra for one of them or one that they both wear at the same....nevermind...this is only going to make me look like a bigger imbucile HAHA

  according to http://abcnews.go.com/wire/world/ap20021021_524.html this article at abcnews.

  isn't the term 'french army deserter' an oxymoron?

  elders paranoid about baby shower

  by jurs in

  2. friends

  perhaps someone out there knows if this is a common jw paranoia.

  once a sister in my hall was going to have a baby.

  because she wasn't in the "click" no one offered to give her a baby shower.

  At my hall there was a list made about ~10 years ago of everyone in the hall, members of their families, and address/telephone number.

  I can see that Jehovah's spirit is consistent as usual.

  Bush , Modern Jehu

  by happy man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i read this stuff, i think perhaps he think he is a moderns jehu, who going to take care of all eveal things on earth, like saddam.. bush and white house staff workers have bible study: president bush talks openly and proudly about his active spiritual faith, and 25-55 of the 1700 white house staffer workers meet weekly at hour-long prayer and bible study sessions which bush aides organized before he became president of the usa.

  one group meets during lunch hour tuesdays, the other on thursdays.

  attendance is voluntary and although christian, non-christians are welcome.

  I think lobbying should be flushed down the toilet, its all just a bunch of bribery.

  I agree 110%! Heck, I'd be happy with just flushing foreign lobbying down the toilet. A lot of Congress is bought with foreign money. Some almost seem to work more for foreign countries than for us. Maybe then we'd see a lot more of these spying scandals brought out in the open more than they are/were.

  Will YOU Make Room For It? RoadTripII

  it is with a mixture of joy and sadness that mrs know_you and i depart john and eunice's sanctum of sanity.

  truly their home is an enclave of peace in this mad, doomed, sybaritic world.

  what a contrast to the spiritual lunatic asylum inhabited by the apostates with their shrill cacophony, their puny fists, like the men of babylon, raised in anger to their creator!

  After our study, the womenfolk made us all a light supper, and the talk flowed easily; the two of them exchanged recipes, excitedly talking about who was now a new grandmother - or even great-grandmother - and they compared modest dress patterns and the latest theocratic hairstyles.

  Is this Little House on the Prairie?!?!

  Questions about the Taliban/Bin Ladin

  by bluesapphire in

  2. friends

  this information is directed to those of you who are more knowledgable on this subject.

  i received the following in an email today and wanted to see if anyone else heard of this information and if they believe it's valid.

  >the us supported bin laden and the taliban for years,.

  bluesapphire,

  very interesting email. Here's what I know:

  >UNOCAL, a giant American Oil conglomerate, wanted to build a 1000 mile
  >long pipeline from the Caspian Sea through Afghanistan to the Arabian
  >Sea.

  Yep, UNOCAL wanted to build a pipeline through afganistan to Pakistan.

  http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/natres/oil/2002/0530pipeline2.htm

  >All of the leading Taliban officials were in Texas negotiating with
  >UNOCAL in 1998.

  Yep:

  A senior delegation from the Taleban movement in Afghanistan is in the United States for talks with an international energy company that wants to construct a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan across Afghanistan to Pakistan.

  A spokesman for the company, Unocal, said the Taleban were expected to spend several days at the company's headquarters in Sugarland, Texas.

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/west_asia/37021.stm

  >1998-1999 the Taliban changed its mind and threw UNOCAL out of the
  >country and awarded the pipeline project to a company from Argentina.

  hrm, I think UNOCAL backed out on their own:

  Citing low oil prices, concerns over Osama bin Laden, and pressure from women's groups, Unocal withdraws from Afghan pipeline consortium. Unocal also announces a 40 percent drop in capital spending for 1999 because of low oil prices.

  http://www.worldpress.org/specials/pp/pipeline_timeline.htm

  >John Maresca VP of UNOCAL testified before Congress and said no
  pipeline
  >until the Taliban was gone and a more friendly government was
  >established.

  yep:
  STATEMENT OF JOHN J. MARESCA, VICE
  PRESIDENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, UNOCAL CORPORATION:
  From the outset, we have made it clear that construction of the pipeline we have proposed across Afghanistan could not begin until a recognized government is in place that has the confidence of governments, lenders, and our company.

  http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/intlrel/hfa48119.000/hfa48119_0.HTM

  ALSO: The Taliban were told to accept "a carpet of gold or you'll get a carpet of bombs." Paula Zahn touched upon that in a CNN interview:
  http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0201/08/ltm.05.html

  >Senior American officials in mid-July told Niaz Naik, a former
  Pakistani
  >Foreign Secretary, that military action against Afghanistan would go
  >ahead by the middle of October.

  Yep, almost two months before 9/11 the US was planning on attacking Afghanistan in October (which is eventually did):

  Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October.

  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1550366.stm

  >The leader of that government formerly worked for UNOCAL.
  >
  >Bush appoints a special envoy to represent the US to deal with that
  new
  >government, who formerly was the "chief consultant to UNOCAL".

  Yep:

  To some here, it looked like the fix was in for Unocal when President Bush named a former Unocal consultant, Zalmay Khalilzad, as his special envoy to Afghanistan late last year.

  http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/natres/oil/2002/0530pipeline2.htm

  ALSO: I do believe Karzai was a consultant to UNOCAL. You can search google for links

  >George Bush Sr. now works with the "Carlysle Group" specializing in
  huge
  >oil investments around the world.

  You can read about the Carlyle Group here http://www.dailytexanonline.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2001/12/11/3c15aae1abad4
  or just go to a search engine and put it in. Make sure it's spelled correctly (that email has it spelled wrong)

  >Condoleezza Rice worked for Chevron before going to Washington.
  >
  >Chevron named one of its newest "supertankers" after Condoleezza.

  yep.

  A former Chevron director and, until recently, the namesake of a Chevron supertanker, the SS Condoleezza Rice (since renamed the SS Altair Voyager)...

  That's enough for now. Homework calls.
