  The sky is falling- maybe

  by joey jojo in

  i am actually not a 'sky is falling' guy, but i wanted to comment on the australian bushfires.. you may or may not believe the science behind global warming, however i personally put more faith in verified, scientific data than the words of fat cat, self-serving politicians.

  climate science has predicted, based on data, that we will see more prolonged, extreme weather events, higher average temperatures, rising sea levels due to ocean expansion and glacial melting.

  and this is exactly whats happening.

  Climate change is not a hoax. The hype and solutions are. It has always been in flux .

  How Do You Think Eco Terrorists Should Be Dealt With?

  recently, some activists decided to interrupt a train that was delivering coal.

  police were called and 10 hours later the activists were dispersed.

  it’s not unusual now to see picketers close down a bridge or a street for “climate change “.

  Make them actually live within the bounds of their beliefs. No plastics, no medicines except local herbs, keep the cow in the house for heat, no fresh food in wjnter, walk, outhouse.

  Im reality there was a lot of trading through history, herbs were used for medicine, and not just locally. Flint was imported to areas where it could not be found. The list goes on.... at some point we have gotten too far away from some of this

  fader here - last meeting was in autumn 2005. lurker on this site and others.

  not one to get all controversial.. typical situation, pretty much a born in and left the church at age 38 and never looked back.. i'm 53 now, parents getting older - late 70s but very active, dad is still an elder.. parents, in laws, brother and brother-in-law still uber active jws.. my family (wife and 2 adult children) out since 2005.. we have stayed close to our parents - we have treaded religion lightly and have had a pretty good relationship and have kept our personal lives and beliefs/opinions separated from them.

  this was intentional - as we love them and do not want anything to cause shunning since they are getting older and want to be there for them and we respect their beliefs.. got this letter today.

  "Generation of 1914" Countdown Timer

  so proud of this counter that i made!.

  very simple yet shows the estimated amount of people that are living that are from the generation of 1914, defined as "all the people who were alive, even just barely being born, when ww1 started".. here's what i assumed:.

  10% of the 1.7 billion people alive in 1914 were infants, just children.

  Dont forget that satan beibg thrown to earth started ww1 as he was really throwing a tantrum. Except it started before the October 4,5 date they use. Time warp?

  Prayers for special servants

  my very much in wife commented with no prompting that they have a hierarchy in prayers.

  bless the gb, co, elders, pioneers.

  if the ill or shutins are mentioned that is all, not so much as a phone call let alone a visit.

  the cult is so screwed up its appalling!first thing this morning and this shitty text is what i get for the start of the new year.

  "the 20th century ended on 31st of december 2000 at 23:59:59 +1 second so technically, yes, the next decade according to that would begin next year.

  but the twenties started to day.i hope these are the roaring twenties!

  The 20th century didnt end until 2001. This has always been a losing battle so we should just admit that the first century had 99 years.

  I know one elder who said to avoid service on January 1. I think he even had the audacity to name the holidays instead of calling it a worldly day off. We all know it is new years, Christmas, Thanksgiving or whatever.

  i'm not really sure where to put this post or "thread", so i'll just put it in the physical activities area.

  i just want to know if anyone on the forum has any experience with having a hip replacement surgery done on them, or perhaps a friend or relative.

  what was your experience, if it was you?

  Do not do the twist. All the muscles are stretched and if you dislocate it can do damage and the fixes get more complicated and dangerous. Do follow the precautions and do therapy

  Is it possible to nullify a baptism?

  by idk123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hope you are all well,.

  i was wondering within the organisation if there are any guidelines or grounds for nullifying a baptism.

  see i grew up a jehovah's witness and was baptised at age 13, i didn't get baptised for the right reasons, i felt pressured to because my friends were getting baptised at the same time.

  The newest scenario is not answer phone, keep track of thru relatives, go to hospital uf they are in, or as noted elsewhere return any mail. And absolutely no funeral That will bring them back to loving jehovah.

  In practice most of us feel a responsibility and love our family, warts and all.

  There are some who will have to walk away and make a life as an orphan.
