the great day of god the almighty certainly is a fit description for the destruction of men, women, children, grandmothers, infants and puppy dogs in the days of noah.. why didn't destroying everybody on earth except a remnant of 8 count as armageddon?.
i mean, if you are starting all over by genocide--shouldn't it count for more than bad temper?.
what are we missing?.
CS yep. . peeps are so busy bashing God, they let the devil off scott free. ( of course not saying definitely there is/was the existence of either )
theoretically and hypothetically. ( got to learn to talk like a lawyer round here on this subject )
Even though all of the information and knowledge is there and it explains perfectly the why's and what fors. I guess people can't understand those parts of the theoretical hypothetical story.
i went to a site which lists over 100 different registered jw charities in the us.
take a look.

TT - are they really ! I didn't know that. I wonder if any jw's know that. Would cause a stink. Bit wrong isn't it.

BOH - lol your brave dude
so if i send money to al gore to pay for carbon credits, will it warm up the 30 degree temperature outside today?
pearly on years ago when i realized a few people and organizations were using junk science as away to build a cottage industry of money making and taxing, i knew it was a hoax.
then when the data came back to show the earth has been cooling instead of warming, the con artists changed the label from global warming to climate change.. believe what you want to, i don't care, but blind allegiance to the gw idea is so similar to jw belief in my mind, blind!.
lol jo - great discussion this. I love this global warming - don't have to light the fire or have the heating on - loads of money dosh dosh dosh. lol
I hate the cold, cuts through me to the bone.
Besty - great link for tragedy of the commons, i am researching it

I did see on the news recently there has been a massive public backlash on big corporations 'avoiding' taxes etc legally through loopholes, and shifting the money out of the country into foreign bank accounts.
I would love it if there was an expose on WT doing the same.
That's the kind of publicity that hits home and makes people sit up and listen.
american survivalists and cults believe in "the new world order".
a world government will take over and we will all have barcodes on our arms etc... how did this nonsense get into watchtower lore with the whole u.n thing.

Protestant is a seperate entity all together friend. ( thank God for Henry 8th)
I recall having a discussion with an older Catholic friend a few years back, ( in the heart of a staunch Catholic land at the time )
She said protestants are much better christians than catholics. Also there is the seperation of church and state, schools are secular, not controlled and run by catholic church. Of course there are some catholic schools and mostly people want their kids to attend them, even though they not believers. ( go figure that one, lol, but I would too) In the liberated countries, catholicism is not the beast it once was. But there is still a remnant of it lurking.
If you look at Ireland. The country is still controlled by the church. As are the schools. It is focal in peoples lives and religious ceremonies tied in with schools. It's still way behind over there.
Childrens rights, joke. Woman dies recently as medically she was dying and needed her pregnancy terminated in order for her to survive. she ws told it is a catholic country, they don't do that. It's against the law.
There are very few muslims over there. they are not wanted.
Uk, full of muslims, laws of the land have been changed, shaped and moulded especially for muslims.
Bangladesh, look what's happening there now.
Things are getting worse, not better.
i want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.
i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.
i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.

have you ever marvelled, as i have, at the marketing genius that sells us less food for more money?
the marketer who came up with the "100 calorie" packaging ploy deserves a consumer's medal.
i am recording my own 100 calorie snack wonders, that are balanced for a diabetic (carb, protein, and roughage).
jgnat - what about glucose. Can you have that. High energy source. We used to use it mixed with water as supa boost for weak lambs.
and fruit - does that affect you.
I'm loving learning bout these things from you guys. ya know your not getting gobbedly gook.
FF - was it an ulcer you got ? There seems to be a high incidence of women that get ulcers on their shins. (usually older women, that I know of )
revelation is the most misunderstood and misused book of the bible.
the branch davidians and other cults used revelation with deadly results.
fundamentalists have used it to prognosticate a future where the antichrist and his one world government mark people with microchips or barcodes during a seven year tribulation.

excellent. Haven't gone through it all yet. But thanks for your input

the above relates to one my interests, fighting the aging process (i've seen it and decided not to participate).
the really cool thing is that it ties together nearly every successful anti-aging intervention into one biological process.
Zed. lol.
edit to add: I forgto, lol. Something i find interesting is that sperm, constantly renews (until death of host, is that right ?)
Yet womens eggs (ovums ?) ya only get them once, and they deteriorate with age ( is that right ?)
