In my continuing quest, a noble one, to counter conspiracy theorists, here is the latest information regarding GMOs from Forbes. Yes, Username, this is for you and those like you. Since you chose to interject your dangerous hysteria into an OP that hasn't anything to do with GMOs, I fell it is only fair that I respond. Please keep your hysteria and your dangerous infection to yourself.

Almost 60 years ago, The Watchtower made a prediction that has proven to be amazingly accurate.
by Bonnie_Clyde ini haven't posted for quite awhile, just usually lurk, but thought surely someone would have noticed this on jw.org.
this was under the article about distractions.
i clicked on the article and below is the "accurate" prediction that the wt made back in 1958. this has to prove they have jehovah's backing, don't you think?

We have had the 'luxury' of even having distractions for a very short period of time. For most of the 100,000 years humans have existed in our current form, daily life revolved around finding enough food to make it through the night, the week, the winter, keeping warm and fending off those human and non-human life forms that would take it from you by killing you.
Focusing on the distractions brought about by prosperity, leisure time, sufficient calories and much longer lives is such a bull shit argument. Which one of the GB, which one of us, would trade today - or even 1958 - for most of the previous 100,000 years of our existence.

E-Mail, Just recived. About Bethell adjustments.
by DwainBowman ini just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.
here is the email: .
---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!
by Slidin Fast inthe chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.
the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.
my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

What Cofty said,
As many of us have pointed out on several occasions, the Dark Tower seemed to be having a cash flow problem. The selling and transferring of capital assets appeared healthy to very healthy from what we could see. Corporations and churches typically do not use cash flow/income for capital projects; they are funded by capital transfers, loans, etc.
If the Dark Lords have truly stopped the construction projects and laid off more workers, it strongly suggests that they are having both capital and cash flow problems to the point that day-to-day operations are impacted. Of course we do not know the extent of these, if it is a temporary blip, etc., but the two issues combined appear ominous from a financial standpoint.
As some have already pointed out, starting these projects without the upfront capital makes no sense. If they didn't have it and hoped to get it, they are financial fools. If they had it but now don't, it means something has changed. This could be the pending lawsuits, environmental cleanup costs, lowered credit rating (and thus higher financing costs), bad investments, overages on building costs, etc., or a combination.
The one thing that would bring the Dark Tower to its knees quickly, as previously pointed out, is for the rank and file to stop donating. Their re-engineered business design appears to be completely predicated on donations - they stop, the engine stops.

Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick
by sir82 inheard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.
apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.
so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

I'm a simple caveman and the article about the Warwick site being contaminated has confused me. Is the site the toxic waste dump or the WT leadership the toxic waste dump?
Seriously, cleaning up a badly contaminated site could cost billions, not millions. Suing for reparations could take years. This issue won't likely be resolved for a long time.
Excellent.

MASH,
Other than The Rebel proving himself consistently to be a lazy brained, narcissistic, whiney ass, attention whore, you would learn more about this topic by reading the information contained on the following 3 links than by reading the content of this OP.

Hi Mandy,
I LOVE your country. I've spent some time there and loved the scenery and the people. Sadly, my French was limited to simple words and pointing to the French/English handbook I carried. Welcome to the site.

VW emissions cheating and driverless cars
by Simon inwhen i first heard about this it sounded like they just had a mode that was optimizing the vehicle's emission levels which sounded good.. turns out, they were detecting when a car was being tested to cheat the control system.. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34311819.
their shares are down 19% - but larger than the financial fallout is the trust.
this is the worlds largest car manufacturer!.

Simon and SS,
Great lists! The only thing I would add is Slower Traffic Keep Right. If you are in the fast lane and you see my BMW on your ass and no one is in front of you, move over. And if you are in the fast lane, in a multi-lane highway/Interstate, and there are a lot of people lined up behind and no one in front of you - you aren't leading - you're impeding progress.
GTF out of everyone's way, and especially mine.

"I personally found the comment as childish as your insults to those who believe in Jesus."
Good. Mission accomplished, although I was going for sophomoric. But what reason do we have to live if we don't have lofty goals?
