It seams wealth and exploitation are being confused.The issue is not whether the west is wealthy and that that is something bad, but that the west exploits the worlds resources and poorer countries and holds monopolies over these resources.This in part being driven by our demands for certain goods that we find "nessessary" for life , and want cheap.
Of cource there are other factors involved, but we do directly effect the lives of people around the world by what we use.Often we are so distanced from the poverty of the rest of this planet we do not care nor think about it.
Some examples are that of the dimond, which an African may mine to earn a few pounds, risking his life and working long hours,yet will be sold for thousands in the west, or a factoury in Inda that makes footballs using children paid pennies yet is sold in Britian for 30 quid, or prehaps TV made in china for a few quid yet sold for 100's in the west, a factory that also pollutes that country and poisions local people.

How did you view your congregation?
by haujobbz in.
when i was in my congregation i found it to be a very selfish self spirited congregation,i also found many witnesses to be very easily offended and hyper sensitive oh and i forgot the gossip ohh the gossip was horrendous, this hyper sensitivity really got on my nerves because it was starting to rub off on me and i started to get paranoid and easily offended and i was never like that b4.. and what pi@@ed me off was the fact how brothers on the stage said how loving our congregation was and what a good reputation it was known to have.. but now i have left and im back to my down to earth happy personality.

I found the people in my congregation to be just a typical cross section of local humanity.
You'll find kind and selfish people where ever you go.

Just a point to consider for those who think lack of energy is all in the mind.You do not actually have much mental control over how much energy your muscels can use.This is a bit like smiling , you cant fake a smile because you dont control those muscles.Anyway the body keeps you from using energy all at once and spreads it out over time, so that you don't use it all entirely.In extreme situations of stress you can gain access to hidden resrves of strength when extra energy is realsed by your body for use.The potential energy in our body is much higher than what we normally use.If for example you recieve an electric shock this can send you flying across a room.This is due to the muscles contracting with all their force( just dont let it happen in the palm of your hand as it will grip onto the the electric source and wont be able to let go)much more than you could ever summon mentally.
The point being that energy levels can vary between humans, and is not governed much by will power.It stands to reason that some people will suffer from having less energy than others and this can be worsened due to other factors.

Do you have Alzheimer's?
by Nanoprobe inresearchers have found that verbal memory tests were the best overall predictor of alzheimers in the elderly,
in particular, the california verbal learning test, in which volunteers were read a list of 15 words several times and then asked to recall them 20 minutes later, was nearly 100 percent accurate in predicting who would go on to eventually develop alzheimers, .

What will happen when Franz dies?
by sleepy in.
it not nice to talk about the death of someone, but realisticly ray franz will die sometime.what will happen to the books he's written will anyone take over the publishing?.

I was under the impression that Franz does most of the work himself and doesn't make much money, I cant see many big buisnesses wanting to take up his books, theres not a very big market for them .
