throughout several past threads various posters have emphatically made the point that countries like great britian, united states, france etc.
basically countries where white people exist, are to blame for the poverty in many other third world nations.
some have even went so far as to suggest that the first world is to blame for all third world conditions.. i often see excuses such as these for why a country refuses to provide clean water, some food and basic sanitation for its people:.
Tt2c, I expect designs was referring to apartheid. There is a very deep and widespread poverty in South Africa. It's resources are not shared fairly, albeit getting slowly better.
In answer to your OP, there are other factors, such as the difficulty of growing crops in Africa compared to Europe, which made advancement more difficult, however, we have far from helped the situation.
jw's are such a happy group .
let's see how this talk addresses the internal issues that we find within the jw's such as:.

Ah, the solution to family happiness is patriarchy, great.

for the rest of us, it's not so easy.
ebola survivor dr kent brantly.
Strange article, I can't work out the connection between the doctor and the JWs?

happy day - our incompetent race baiting ag who refuses to actually do his job, and prosecute high crimes right under his down in the irs is finally stepping down.
good riddance!.
How is he a racist? Do you think Obama is a racist too?
when confronted with all of the inconsistencies and atrocities of the bible, many believers invariably claim that they don't base their faith in christ on what's written in the bible.
so what is the basis then, if not scripture?.
and please don't tell me "the lord has revealed himself to me".
Hi Jan, the bible does include inconsistent stories. You could start with Genesis 1 and 2 which present somewhat different creation stories.
Biblical inerrancy makes it impossible to just read the bible.

If the bible isn't the inerrant word of God, than Jesus was just a regular guy with an entourage, if he existed at all.
Hi Keyser, I don't follow this point, isn't this a bit of a stretch? If there are errors in Josephus writings' does it follow that everything in it is therefore made up?
this looks interesting, this guy is bringing the right to family life into his case.
many have thought of doing this.
maybe a good test case.. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/jehovahs-witness-sues-for-150000-after-church-snubbed-him-over-fraud-claims-9750062.html.

Jon Morley is a decent bloke, from my experience. He is very much an Organisation man but I still like him, all things considered. I would not want him to lose this case, but hope the Society has to pay out.

I was a member of the Wimbledon congregation for about 8 months and left in June 2013. I never once met or saw this guy and have never heard of him. It says he was a member for 20 years, perhaps, but if he was he was far from regular, or I would know him. I was very surprised when I read this article on my tube ride home in the paper, as I assumed I knew everyone in Wimbledon. Jookbeard, as stated above, was in Wimbledon before me so will be interesting to see if he knows him.
Jonathan Morley, mentioned in the article is the PO or whatever they call that now.
As St. George said, the infamous Michael Porter is in that same Congregation, I knew him well.
as you all know i am just going thru the motions.
well today during the brain washing session.
one stupid elder made the comment of.....an i quote "the jw.org website is the most visited website in the world!
I don't find it too surprising that JWs are so high on the denominational visits list, as most religious denominations don't print regular religious material that their members are required to read and study.
