  We bought a pipeline that leaks like a sieve

  it looks like justin trudeau and his comrades caved in to kinder morgans artificial deadline and bought the transmountain pipeline for 4.5 billion taxpayer dollars.

  its not a bad deal if they actually finish the expansion.

  if not we just bailed out an american company and are on the hook for 4 and a half billion.

  Justin Trudeau is utterly woeful, Canada deserves so much better.

  Especially after Bryan Adams and Celine Dion, it has been rough for you guys.

  Favourite Quirky / Low Budget / Non-Mainstream Movies

  so the recent topic about film franchises got me thinking.

  sure, we all love the big budget, mainstream releases that are so successful they spawn never-ending (it sometimes seems) sequels.

  we could watch marvel and star-wars movies for the rest of our lives (and we might just ...).. but y'know what i love?

  Napoleon Dynamite 2004 - Very low budget - No real plot here either. You either love it or you hate it. One of the more quotable movies I've seen because of the quirkyness
  

  Anyone who enjoyed Neapolitan should watch a movie called “Eagle Vs Shark”..

  If you laughed at Neapolitan Dynamite, check out Eagle vs Shark. It’s a New Zealand film, very low budget. Very funny.

  Random Thought on Drugs/Tobacco Being Sinful Under JW Doctrine

  a friend of mine was telling me about her recent trip to peru.

  she said she had trouble with the altitude in certain areas of peru but the locals offered her a tea derived from the coca leaf and that helped tremendously with her symptoms.. i began to think about how i would have handled the situation as a jw given that coca contains an alkaloid that is used to produce cocaine.

  in its natural form, the content is very low and the locals use it as a stimulant similar to coffee.. however, as a jw i would have probably refused to drink it viewing it as something similar to a product derived from tobacco leaves.

  Their double standards are glaring.

  So many JWs are overweight, live mostly sedentary lifestyles and consume far more than healthy amounts of alcohol. Prescription meds are consumed like tic tacs.

  Cannabis is food, fuel, invaluable as a resource and a medicine.

  Education is key. Hemp seed is omega 3 and 6 but also minerals and 30%protein by weight. Don’t fear “marijuana”. Embrace cannabis it’s the future of the planet.

  Why Are Schools Targets Of So Much Gun Violence?

  why are so many youth flipping out and gunning down fellow students?

  is there something seriously wrong with society?

  does the public education/indoctrination system need some serious tweaking?

  I was playing a first person shooter with a nephew recently and was surprised and a little shocked at the level of realism.

  The firearms were detailed to the point where I could read the proof marks. Actions worked correctly, realistic looking shells ejected as they should, you could clearly hear the brass hitting the pavement, wisps of smoke came from both the breech and muzzle just like the real thing - it was stunning.

  Of course you couldn't actually feel the recoil in a video game, but the "kick" was simulated very well.

  The effect of bullets on bodies was similarly dead on. (Use your imagination....)

  You give a mean game review TD.

  I’m keen to play it.

  Guns are rife in Australia. It’s a vast country and guns are the tools needed for Australians who own large property, and there are many.

  There is a common misunderstanding that our guns were taken from us. Everyone who needed a gun got the license. Anyone who wants one can get one, providing you get the license. All the laws around owning and registering firearms are very tight. If you’ve got criminal history buying from the blackmarket and paying premium $ is your only option.

  We have had numerous gun amnesties, even just had one recently in my state of Queensland which saw many thousands of firearms handed over.

  Guns laws in Australia worked, the stats don’t lie. Shootings did occur, but dropped off significantly to almost non existent after gun laws were introduced. I’m talking mass shootings of 4 or more. This is Australia, not a proposed solution for the US.

  A licensed gun owner in Australia used his tools to murder his entire family only a few weeks ago. He didn’t stab them, run them down in a truck or van, he need not beat them to death. The gun is the tool for killing.

  Tighter laws or adding restrictions on gun owners may work, may not.

  Loving the argument that killers will just turn to other methods like driving trucks and cars into people... trucks and cars are everywhere so there is no point in restricting guns.

  Wow, flawless logic.

  That’s the sense of urgency we expect from a sister in the preaching work. Well done, the Good News of the Kingdom must be kept dry!

  That bro doesn’t seem to care where the dog pisses. Sister on deck, she can clean that mess.

  Heb. 1:2-3 Proof we should worship Jesus?

  by NikL in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jw.org believes that jesus is not god but a separate entity.

  let's go with that for the time being.

  in the referenced scriptures the writer of hebrews says that jesus "sustains all things by the word of his power" and has been "appointed heir of all things".

  Worship or obeisance can be used, depending on whatever doctrine is being supported.

  The WTS likes to keep things flexible. It’s called translating, silly.
