i think you know where i'm headed with this....... i just don't understand how many praise our economic system and yet it leaves millions behind.
it denies many necessities from many people all for the sake of the comforts of the rich nations.
Just be thankfull you are in a country where you can change your economic status. Here, if you bust your ass, you can do anything you want. You not stuck in some caste and have opportunities that few others have.
Remember, Capitalism rewards those who do things.

There are massive short positions that have been built up in recent weeks, but the bullish investors still have access to several trillion dollars of money market funds that are parked on the sidelines, as they say in the business
Wow! I didnt know you were in the business YOU KNOW! Why dont you take your undying knowledge and ability to predict great events and either A: Go to the Race Track or B: Go to wall street and make Trillions! Since you seem to know that everything is going to crash, why dont you Short Sell everything in site and buy Bethel some new digs???? With your new found $$$$$ You could buy the Space Shuttle and take a one way ticket to the Asteroid and start a brand new cult!
i don't have a clue how a computer works.
i just turn it on and point and click and i am able to do what i need to do, unless of course something goes wrong, or in the worst case scenario if my little machine experiences the dreaded blue-screen crash, then i am really in a mess.
that is the way the financial system is for most people.
I became aware that the system was going to come down in a way that Jehovah's Witnesses did not expect.
Where would we be without your great knowledge??? Please continue to save the world!! LOL

PAY UP YOUKNOW! YOU LOST the BET!!!
perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.
as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.
since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.
OUTLAW is right! YOU KNOW did bet a $100, and YOU KNOW lost the bet! Pay up YOUKNOW, but your Wallet where you big fat mouth is!!! PAY UP!! LOL $100 to the board! And a letter to boot!!!!! SIMON, please post the letter when you get it :)
peter once wrote concerning paul's writings, saying: "in them, however, are some things hard to understand" that being the case, it is understandable why jehovah opened his long-running dialogue with israel, through isaiah, by saying: "my own people have not behaved understandingly.
" further, in that 1st chapter, at verse 10, jehovah addresses the leaders of his people saying: "hear the word of jehovah, you dictators of sodom.
give ear to the law of our god, you people of gomorrah.
I sincerely hope that reasoning upon this matters from Jehovah's standpoint will help some of you recover your balance so as to trust Jehovah to sort this mess out.
I always have trusted the Lord. I do my best to follow the Lords teachings. No where in the the Bible does it say 'Join the WT', 'Trust the WT', 'Listen to YOU KNOWs ramblings', 'Protect Pedophiles', or 'Ignorance is Bliss'.
The Bible Does say, thru our Lord Jesus Christ, "Fools Hate Knowledge." And if YOU KNOW hates the Knowledge that the WT is about as close to God as a Satanist, then YOU KNOW is a FOOL.
YOU KNOW, many here have questioned how you are not an "Apostate" since you disagree with the WT. Many here have stated, with proof, that if you Disagree with the WT, you will be DF'd and according to you, be an automatic APOSTATE.
So Let Y= You Know T=Thinking on your own or disagreeing with the WT A= Apostate D= Disfellowshiped
For Y=T as YOU KNOW disagrees with the WT
For D=A as YOU KNOW has stated that if you are DF'd then you are an Apostate
For T=D as Disagreeing with the WT will get you Disfellowshiped
So as we can see that Y=T=D=A so inconclusion, Y=A, so YOU KNOW is an APOSTATE.
my friends and i started collecting these little figures from the quater machines in the grocery store called homies... just wondering if anyone else has these in their supermarkets/drug stores... they are so funny... little guys drinking 40's, holding skateboards.

Double:
Lambasted? Well I dont care. Basicly the Apartment I had was a little weird. It all started with the blinds being open when we came home. Then ond day the sliding glass door was open. Soon after sometimes you would hear creaks and footsteps. Someone banged on my roomates door and woke him up-yet I was sound asleep. Sometimes my sliding shower door would in a different position when I went back into the bathroom. Also, twice, my room had this horrilbe smell. It was like an electical fire smell- where all the wiring and insulation is burning. YUCK! It lasted for like an hour. The strangest thing that happened invloved the deadbolt. My roomates and I used to play jokes on each other. We would hold the deadbolt so someone couldnt get in, or we would relock it once they unlocked it. Well anyways, one day I come home and unlock the deadbolt. It relocks. Ok Hah hah. I unlock it again. It relocks. Im thinking funny guys. But then I remembered my roomates were not home. I unlocked it again. It relocks. So I think, funny, it must be my friend Will. Will doesnt have a key. I unlocked it again. Open the door. No ones there. I freak out, grab my gun and go from room to room closet to closet ready to shoot someone. But no one was there. Freaked me out pretty bad.
