  quite a debate has been going on in the media this week regarding carbon emissions and it has been suggested that we should either become vegetarians or at the very least drastically reduce our meat consumption.. lets face it .

  Meat is Murder

  It is said that a pig has the IQ equivalent to a 3 year old human child. As Cameron Diaz said, "that's like eating my niece".

  Let’s face it

  1. Meat production produces far more carbon than obtaining the same amount of protein from plants.
  2. Meat production uses far more water.
  3. Animals such as cows and sheep produce large amounts of methane (in the case of cows not from their backsides as you might expect but from rumination), which is an even more dangerous greenhouse gas than CO2.
  4. Factory farming produces huge amount of faecal pollutants that find their way into our water supplies, water table, etc.
  5. Production of meat on the scale we consume it today is unbelievably cruel to the animals involved.(don't believe me check it out for yourself).
  6. Eating meat is not good for your health. Yes, I know people will argue we are carnivores but the truth is at best our ancestors were more like carrion animals, perhaps finding the odd animal killed by something else. There is no way that our early ancestors hunted down and killed mammoths as depicted in popular illustrations, they would have been far too big. Even as late as the 16th Century, North American Indians weren’t that good at hunting buffalo.

  So would you become veggie to save the planet?

  due to persecution in Romania, lost all contact with the WTBTS some time in the late 50's or early 60's. They just re-studied the literature they had on hand, over and over and over again.

  I remember when I was in 'experiences' of isolated groups who just studied the Bible and then later found that their beliefs totally tallied with the JWs.

  Strange isn't it that this group did much the same thing and found it was the JWs who had drifted away.

  oh ok did that then turn into the watchtower?

  I think we are going off topic here. The history of the JWs is well documented on this site. What I am not sure about is this break away group.

  Who remembers the Circuit Orchestra's? How good was yours?

  in the days before 'simplification', the days of 3 day circuit assemblies (fri evening plus sat & sun), when we used have catering departments that cooked and served up hot meals, we also used to have circuit orchestras.. i must say ours was pretty poor though, only matched by the lacklustre singing.. eyeslice.

  (bee in his bonnet since mrs eyeslice went to singing practice at local kh on sunday evening).

  I'd love to hear a rendition of "We're Jehovah's Witnesses" on the kazoo.

  How about 'Lazarus Lay Sleeping' - that would be a hoot.

  those horrible records

  They were pretty bad.

  And, I never really understood why we had orchestral recordings for assemblies and piano recordings for the KH - it wasn't that people were going to think that there was an actual orchestra at the assemblies.

  Due to simplification it's now a kazoo.

  lol. How about even more down market - paper and comb?

  I remember the musicians being pretty pissed that they were not allowed to do it anymore.

  Anything that smacks of having a good time has been banned by the kill-joys at the top.

  Hi moski7 - I guess that is why I am asking

  What I think I know is that they are a break away group from the standard JWs in Romainia. Apart from that I know nothing else.

  All I know is that they seem to sing a whole lot better than the standard JWs.
