  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.

  Australia is currently undergoing a Royal Commission into the banking sector and would they be aware of this ?

  Would it make any difference to them ? If they did ?

  Or is this just the way things are done and nothing to see here.

  thanks for the post Terry W.

  So you have got as far as 11 bible books and 156 "ways or reasons to die in the bible " I cant wait for you to cover the next 28 books of the "Old Testament"

  And the 27 books of the "New Testament" I know their is some great ways to die in there .

  I look forward to see the final count unless I get snuffed before then.

  It makes you wonder about this statement in the Bible doesn`t it ?

  John 3:16 " For God loved the world so much...."

  Isn`t it normal to judge a being by their actions and not by their words ?

  in a nutshell.

  a group of about 6 women who have been friends practically their whole lives that i personally know are leaving there jw husbands.

  my understanding is they're starting to see the hypocrisy of the .org.

  Dio..... its the wives who are sitting on a gold mine ....seems like a lot of JW `s don`t realise it.

  What`s that saying ? "the way to a man`s heart is through his stomach" ?

  I think they need to lower their gaze a few inches lower.

  Films with nudity

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i guess every jw has a different conscience on the matter, and i don't believe any jw publications have ever specifically mentioned nudity in film as being off limits.

  of course genitals are out of the question because that's usually relegated to r movies which most good jws don't view.

  female toplessness is condoned but not spoken about, as most jws i know have seen titanic and many own it.

  Tell that to the millions of JW teens around the world that live double lives ?

  i'm looking for a creationist viewpoint on this video:.

  why was this creature created to behave the way it does?.

  #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.

  Julia Gillard the first Australian woman PM got on this list ? Well I guess that counts for something

  2+2=5 I hope she gets the recognition she deserves for doing that and that it reverberates around the world with real healing for all those abused and not just empty words.

  Thanksgiving Dream List

  thanksgiving dream list______.

  1. i give thanks to mom, for the blond wig and dress when i was a child (pinch-hitting for the daughter i was meant to be).

  it was a voyage of self-discovery for me to play cowboy, tarzan, and superman in drag in my neighborhood--completely unwitting to my astonishing spectacle presented to the neighbors!

  I give THANKS to my 1st best friend, Johnny Santa Cruz,

  Well i just had to respond to this one as it was a John Santa Cruz who first made me aware of Jehovah`s Witnesses who was a co-worker of mine here in Australia and was instrumental in getting me to be baptised about 18 months later in the 1960`s.

  He had been brought up in the religion had his own problems and was just getting back into it when he contacted me.

  A very sensitive guy who was different from my usual friends and was a bit paranoia about persecution because they had the "truth" and that somehow appealed to me a bit .

  One thing he said to me after I was in it for a couple of years was "one day you will probably hate me for bringing you into this religion "

  But I never blame him for that ,it was my choice my decision .For my own reasons .

  And after I left the job where we worked together at I lost contact with him and that`s going back to the 1950`s .
