Child care and abortion - two examples of the complexity of the issue
by fulltimestudent inin a perfect world, one would hope that no woman would need to consider an abortion.
there is unfortunately, no perfect world and there does not seem there will ever be a perfect world.
so consider .... 1. a child rape case in paraguay.. ... but the plot unfolding in paraguay is so dark and twisted that it is currently tearing the south american country apart.it began on april 21 when a mother brought her 10-year-old daughter to a public hospital.

Marmot - let's fuggetabout "Greenpeace'. It's become a behemoth, and anyone who is really 'into' activism knows that about 90% of their dollars goes into advertising. They sold out a long time ago.
Most activists WILL tell you to try and observe the "100-mile diet" and eat meat that is raised on a small, local farm vs a factory farm. That, as well as having solar cells for energy.
Also, I think it's about 70% of the water that's used by the manufacturing process - so the recommendation is to avoid conspicuous consumerism - such as - use things until they wear out. Do you really NEED a new (fill in the blank), or are you buying the new one because if 'feels good'?
Yes, the mainstream focuses on fossil fuels, but there is much more to it.xx
Oh, the food shortage? AHAHAHAHAHA! If we actually ATE the food that is thrown out by grocery food chains, the world would be fed. FACT.

An apt comparison, and quite chilling.
As far as the name of the child - I do not speak those names, just as I do not speak the name of John Lennon's murderer, nor any other despicable person who seeks notoriety. Why give him what he WANTS? (that's just my opinion, and meant as food for thought)

Attend meeting, and when they approach you ...
You could tell them you have been consulting a spirit board for quite some time, and have welcomed Satan into your heart.
He has instructed you to come back to the meetings so that you can share the REAL truth - that the OCCULT is the true religion. For the past 6 months, you hold Black Mass weekly, and wish to share these truths with your Brothers and Sisters at the KH.
Jesus was a False Prophet, and Lucifer, Lord of Light, is the true Saviour of all Mankind!Then, lower your head slightly, make your eyes roll back like Nicholson in The Shining, and say in a deep voice, "Listen to ME, I am the MESSENGER!" Then bare your teeth and hiss.

Nice little summary by Barbara Anderson re dear old Geoffrey GB and "presumptuousness"...
by umbertoecho injw governing body claims to be the faithful slave.
did you know how (in sworn testimony during the recent australian royal commission hearing) governing body member geoffrey jackson responded to the question, do you see yourselves as jehovahs spokespeople on earth?.
jackson replied, that, i think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.. really?

Jackson replied, “That, I think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the ‘only spokesperson’ that God is using.”
Really? Was he being truthful and honest when he replied that way?{bold is mine}
Q1. Yes, he was being truthful in the strictest sense, because he completely dodged the question. So, technically, or perhaps legalistically, he did not 'lie'.
Q2. No, he was not being honest. His evasive reply was completely dishonest, and a clear attempt to subvert the truth..
(EDIT: And *poof* .... once again, half my reply disappears...... hmm, do I have a '# of characters limit' now? haha)
Now, what did I type?
Oh, yes, Theocratic Warfare - that's what they call it, but really, it's protecting the corporation at any cost. That is what a Board of Directors (in this case, they call themselves the Governing Body) does. I don't know if they are legally a BofD, but they act like one.xx

Death is not something to be feared!
by iconoclastic inscience can explain how of things, but it cannot explain why of certain things (for example, why did life arise from non-life and evolved from simpler creatures to more complex life forms only to die and disappear?
) so are the conflicted religions whose chief concern is in safeguarding each ones separate identity..
next option is to look for pearls among the stonesusing power of our own reason.

Uhh, I was most likely studying science when you were in diapers.
Quite frankly, I am sickened by your relentless masturbatory punishing of all those who don't seem to measure up to your intellectual-superiority yardstick.
I'm not interested in taking you on, and haha, your comment above, clearly shows how you enjoy twisting the point. I do not need to twist anyone's words to get my point across, as I seek no gratification from my postings here.
Perhaps you should try your intellect out in places that would be more challenging? But I guess it would be hard to give this up, since you can play with words better than most people on this forum.
Take care, "V", and remember that not everyone is fooled by your 'faux intellectualism". TSK TSK
You have a plethora of people here, on which you can exercise your own brand of dominance. I just wanted to note, that your abuses do not pass without note.
Indeed.

I've faced/beaten death (however you want to look at it) about 1/2 dozen times. I've also been in agonizing pain for years ......... trust me, I do not fear death. It's the suffering that comes before death, that is to be feared, if anything. Ever been tortured? hmmm.

Well, this is a bit silly .... arguing semantics is *SO* boring. YAWNS.
Science asks "How?".......... whilst working on "how", science may ask "why?" in the context of seeking a verifiable theory and or explanation.
If you wish to tie up a discussion in knots over semantics, then fill your boots. It's quite boring to read, though, to any other intelligent and educated person who sees the obvious (that some people enjoy making others look uneducated, just because the former person is good at semantics).
I mean, are we interested in finding TRUTH, and having DISCUSSION, or in proving how great we are at twisting other folks up?*PUKE*
Correct THAT.

Death is not to be feared. It's the leading up to death that could inspire trepidation, imho. If a person wants to believe in religious poppycock, I'm okay with that, as long as their belief system does not harm others.
Carl Sagan was also a marijuana user, who felt it enhanced his creative process and had other benefits. This was discovered after he died, in his personal journals. He felt that his use and approval of marijuana would have a deleterious effect on his credibility in 'Murica and thus, the world, so he kept it secret.
Just something I thought was interesting, since Sagan was being quoted. : )

Shoot, Bangalore, it's hard to read that list and I can't seem to enlarge it.
But, I can offer my own take on it.
- when you need to check with others about your personal activities.
- when your marriage partner is chosen for you
- when you are taught you are 'different' from the rest of society
- when you believe that your every action is determined by your "belief system"
