  Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

  in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

  banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

  If money were created from thin air inflation would be out of control. Money would become worth less until a loaf of bread could cost $3000 and physical cash weighed on a scale rather than counted out.

  Like Simon said, the banks are regulated by governments or at least they should be, and it is ultimately the government who is responsible. The interest rates, lending measures, inflation pressures, employment figures and so on, this is all considered by the reserve bank, keeping the economy well lubricated is their job. Printing money or creating it from thin air doesn’t make for a viable economy.

  When you take loan from a bank the interest rate is higher vs the intersest rate the bank pays for cash in the bank.

  Fairly basic, the most obvious way a bank is supposed to make money.

  The Latest "Peoples Magazine" on Occults

  of course they talk about all the really wacky ones everyone knows about, jones town, charles mason, heaven's gate and branch dravidian.

  however if you add up all the unnecessary deaths these cults have contributed too (a thousand and fifty people) it pales in comparison to the number of people who have been directly or indirectly killed my the jehovah's witnesses.

  by the way all of the cults mention above are no more, except for the watchtower bible and truck society.. the little ones seem to get all the attention and the big ones just slide on by.. .

  Alternative explanations could include the following: Among the ranks of JWs, many dkready have ore-existing mental illnesses including depressive outlooks or that the JWs minority status makes followers vulnerable to stress caused by being outsiders from wider society.
  

  Most men who commit suicide don’t have any known mental illness.

  One factor that would come into play is occupation, for men working in construction the rate of suicide is much higher. I expect the JWs would over represent in these jobs compared to the general population, certainly in Australia they do. So we should probably expect a slightly higher rate, at least in Australia.

  But like Steve said, virtually impossible to know with so many factors.

  @Vidiot

  That’s exactly how I thought, I always doubted this stupid prophecy and that helped me wake up. If governments did try this ban, we would be at war with Muslims on the streets of western countries.

  A few million brain dead JWs spread around the world has got nothing on Islam.

  in watching the latest video in the series "was it designed?

  " at tv-dot-jw-dot-org, i got to wondering why is it that watchtower hardly references scientist that are creationist.

  i know its only a minority from that group, but there are enough out there for them to reference from.

  2. beliefs

  on tv.jw.org kenneth cook jr. discusses how important it is to be honest when applying for special assignemts.

  he mentions health and viewing pornography.

  those who viewed pornography during the last year should not apply.

  Construction sites would be lonely old places if no wankers were allowed.

  If the government didn’t allow anyone who watches porn a construction job, the entire economy would collapse immediately.

  Doesn’t the WT(creationists) deny that they are creationists? Because they accept the earth is very old and wasn’t created in literal days, they don’t accept the title.

  They pick from the bible what they’ll accept as literal and what should be taken as figurative.

  I don’t think suicides would be higher among JWs. It’s taught that suicide is a major sin and risks no resurrection so this could be factored in.

  If suicide was an absolute ticket to the ‘New System’, I think we might see higher rates but the WT has never taught that. They actually suggest the opposite.

  #100 Women

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the uk the bbc has been celebrating the role of women who have made a difference to the world.

  they have focused on 100 women in particular who have taken a lead in various professional jobs.

  isn't it sad that we'll never see a jehovah’s witness woman appearing on such a list because of the misogynistic attitude within their organisation.

  We definitely should talk about the 99 women.

  Julia Gillard the former PM of Australia asked for the royal commission on institutional response to child sex abuse.
