  climate change is a legitimate concern - especially as it affects poor nations.

  however, the subject has been twisted by greedy global elites resulting in disappointments (if you wish to call them that!

  Dont put words in my mouth, i never said climate change is happening because of fat people. I said fat people feel the heat more than skinny people. Also standing in front of a hot tv adds more temp to your room than the 1 degree of temp increase for the past 100ish years. We live in cities which by their structure are hotter than the country just next door

  So global climate change is not happening because of how hot fat people feel while standing in front of their TV?

  And further to that, climate scientists have failed to account for cities being hotter than the surrounding countryside? Wow - you really should write a paper - I think you are onto something here...

  The thing about global warming that is coldly terrifying to me is the power of the elite in pushing common people to accept a threat so tenuous, so speculative and so distant as if it merited real priority in their lives.

  ok - so a non-scientific perspective. got it.

  the rest of your post is a conspiracy rant, and that's ok.

  the point is your OP is based on nonsense from the Daily Fail

  Door 2 door is to become optional, as is time reporting

  More emphasis on static booths, shop fronts and the Internet

  Disguised as 'where are the people to be found" and reduces liability to more controlled environments

  New metrics to be measured and reported will be 'BS requests from jw.org'

  The Mormons are a step ahead yet again.

  nowdays people leave their tvs on all the time, and the fact they are fatter than ever doesnt help. Fat keeps you hot.

  Global climate change is not happening because fat people living near you have recently started leaving their TV's on?

  The debate reaches a record low.

  the UK has its own share of right wing loonies with similar climate change denial policies - fortunately they are not likely to get into government and the Daily Fail is only read by the lower orders :-)

  will be significant if the global figure drops 2 years in a row - I don;t think it has dropped 2 years on the trot - not even after 1975...

  its ironic given that earlier this year Australia had to add a new colour to the heat map to reflect temperatures in excess of 50C

  Riley Trust accounts - royalty income for the WTBTS closing on 1 million dollars per annum now

  continues to be a good little earner for the wtbts - donated 750k dollars in 2012 & the royalties seem to be rising year on year.

  i just wonder how much knowledge of this income stream the average rank & file jw member is aware of when they are increasingly called on to pay for the wtbts building projects..

  @dozy

  The average JW rank & file member isn't putting much in the box these days & although they can make money by building , holding for a few years then selling , there is only so much "flipping" of property that you can do before people get wise to it

  agreed, but bearing in mind that the membership is a revolving door...
