  pope francis has proclaimed the internet a gift from god, lauding its ability to connect disparate groups and foster communication across religious, economic, and political divides.

  the comments were part of his message for world communications day.

  I think you have no idea where I am coming from at all.. I dropped that quote for your benefit not mine. I am so far from cynical you can not imagine.

  Camatose: Me nutter? lol.. Your posts reveal a lot. Say no more. Feel free to throw insults if it makes you feel better about yourself.

  Remember you lived 37 years as a 'nutter' yourself. I lived only one.

  PS: It was not my intention to derail this thread.. I was just presenting an alternate viewpoint on Mr Gates. It is after all a duscussion forum.

  My apologies.

  Could i possily be one of the sealed?

  i went to the meeting last night, (with the start of a beard) and going throught he book study i had a thought.

  god our "heavenly father" wants us to have a personal relationship with him because he is love.

  well my brain disconnected from this thinking because if the bible was "written primarily for the anointed" and the benefits in the bible can only be mine because of "association" with the anointed, then i can never have a personal relationship with god or jesus.

  Speaking of Monsanto and their wonderful crops.. I wonder why China China rejected two shipments -- almost 546,000 tons -- of U.S. dried distillers' grain, a corn byproduct, because it contained genetically modified material when there is 'no evidence' that it does harm to humans? http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-china-rejects-shipment-of-gmo-corn-20131227,0,2126813.story#ixzz2rGDSYDMK

  Perhaps China has done some research?.. Or maybe they are just paranoid.

  Guns and Martial Arts

  by okage in

  my wife's jw sister bought a gun after someone broke into her house and apparently no one in her circles has an issue with it.

  her only friends are jw's and she's posted about buying the gun and target practice a few times on facebook.. i remember reading in a '98 wt that witnesses do not buy guns, but i've read on here both that they are allowed to and that they're banned.. i also remember in the elder manual "pay attention to yourself and all the flock" that learning martial arts was frowned upon and disqualified jws from priveleges.

  my wife's olderst brother, also a jw has been actively learning martial arts since my wife was born without any sanctions or punishment.. could somebody fill me in on where the watchtower stands today on these positions?.

  Have a read here...
  
  http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/quotes/martial-arts.php

  I practiced a martial art called Wing Chun the entire time I was in the Org. I just never told anyone.

  Can you imagine the apostle John defending himself with karate chops or Jesus Christ fighting off an opponent with kung fu tactics? (See the December 8, 1975, issue of Awake!, page 28, for a more detailed discussion of this subject.)"

  I can't imagine Jesus up a ladder cleaning windows either and a lot of other things but hey..

  At some point you might wanna sit back and think of the fact that there is no evidence that chemtrails exist.

  There is also 'no evidence' that the Kennedy assination was a conspiracy either. Or 9/11 or anything else for that matter.

  Chemtrails? Absolutely. UFO's as in aliens? No.

  Cynical? No. Eyes open? Yes.

  Sorry I don't live in a soft fluffy pink bubble. Being wishfully and blindy 'positive' is living in a fantasy. The facts paint a very different picture indeed. The information is out there for anyone willing and able to do the research.

  I guess you believe Monsanto has your best interest at heart eh? Enjoy your meal.

  That's not all that he 'thinks' and does..

  After it was exposed that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , the philanthropic brainchild of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, purchased 500,000 shares in Monsanto back in 2010 valued at more than $23 million, it became abundantly clear that this so-called benevolent charity is up to something other than eradicating disease and feeding the world's poor ( http://www.guardian.co.uk ). It turns out that the Gates family legacy has long been one of trying to dominate and control the world's systems, including in the areas of technology, medicine, and now agriculture.
  
  The Gates Foundation , aka the tax-exempt Gates Family Trust, is currently in the process of spending billions of dollars in the name of humanitarianism to establish a global food monopoly dominated by genetically-modified (GM) crops and seeds. And based on the Gates family's history of involvement in world affairs, it appears that one of its main goals besides simply establishing corporate control of the world's food supply is to reduce the world's population by a significant amount in the process.
