  the bush administration has now decided that global warming is indeed a fact and the u.s. is now going to put the polar bear on the threatened list (barring no set-backs):.

  JeffT...I guess I just made up the following article:

  Swalker,

  I'm certain you didn't "make it up" but...I'm fairly certain it is not from a major news outlet (http://www.republicandictionary.com/article_environment.shtml) . Is that website your source?

  To post the article without identifying the source, especially when it is a clearly biased source, makes me wonder about how you consume and digest the media.

  Do you eat your media-vegtables, too....or just left-wing (which even you won't deny that website is) red meat? :-)

  True, but you're also talking some 30-plus years ago when that article was written. There has been a wee bit of new technology and research projects done in the last third of a century, and guess what? You might want to take a look at that. It's easy to be a nay sayer on this, though there are fewer and fewer of you, it seems. Even the oil companies are talking about climate change. Maybe all these scientests are getting on to something.

  You misunderstand. I am not taking a position on this....other than the evidence is not in and that artifically created windows of technological advances only serve to obfuscate the real issue....that we don't know. Maybe we will, maybe we won't but ....regardless of how loud "scientists" clamor, it is only speculation.

  A wise poster on this board once wrote about a different issue (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/126408/1.ashx) "I've seen how emotional this issue is in discussions on this board, but I have to say that the level of anger it creates when someone questions fundamentalist beliefs is more than a little scary."

  In light of the fact that I am not taking a position, simply noting that the scientists' positions change in an eye-blink (30 years is very short when dealing with climatic change, without regard to new technologies), and yet you are labeling me a "nay sayer" (sic)... it seems that this is an emotional issue for some.

  A good question(s) to answer "scientifically" might be: "Am I being persuadded by the current politically correct messages? Would I have been screaming about man-made, earth-cooling activities 30 years ago in response to those scientists?"

  Please refrain from putting words in my mouth like "It's easy to be a nay sayer on this, though there are fewer and fewer of you."

  I am not a naysayer. I am not a non-naysayer. My point was never about whether there is or is not "global warming." My point was that the scientists' views on the matter change rapidly and that there appears to be a bandwagon effect. Thank you.

  I interviewed a scientist about this a few weeks ago and wrote about it here http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/125818/1.ashx.

  The problem is that scientists do not (and can not) really KNOW. So all of the protestations that "everyone" believes this or that are hollow. As the article from 1975 illustrates, "scientists" change their notions of what is going on regarding climate.

  The scenario has to do with the fresh water that is hitting the oceans from the melting polar ice caps.

  Interesting that the 1975 article was faulting the government for not responding to the impending ice age. One suggestion was to speed up the melting of the ice caps by "painting" them with black soot etc.

  Whether the world is warming (today’s scientists) or heading for an ice age (scientists from 1975) it seems that there are precious few facts and plenty of speculation….and implied "ad hoiminum" attacks (for example, scientists who do not agree are not in the know). Needless to say, scientists have been wrong before.

  At

  http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101041011/story.html it reads:

  "

  Albert Einstein remarked in 1932 that "there is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable." Thomas Edison thought alternating current would be a waste of time."

  What resonates as disingenuous is folks like Al Gore acting as if they "KNOW" such and such.

  The final verdict on climate change is far from in….even as the 1975 article illustrates.

  " this gives an interesting look at the bible students of that era:.

  by Wild_Thing in

  in lieu of flowers, donations made to the world wide work of jehovah's witnesses would be appreciated by the family.. anybody ever seen a witness family do this before?

  i saw it in an obit in a newspaper online and it made me sick!

  most people ask for donations to non-profit organizations that help fight disease like cancer, etc.

  Yes, the organization encourages Witnesses to do that. They have a nice little pamphlet that speaks to all the ways you or your estate can give to the organization after you die. Maybe someone has a link to a scan? out

  Here's one http://www.reexamine.info/00s/CharitablePlanning.pdf
