  INTERFAITH AND THE WT!!!! BIG

  by Dino in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well folks, this is big news!.

  since this un/wt scandal blew, there have been those who strongly suspected that this association was not the whole picture.. the un's reach is worldwide in scope, it goes without saying.

  and in order for the wt to use the un for that worldwide clout, an alliance had to be formed that goes way beyond the use of the un library, it now appears.

  It would certainly give a stong sense of impropriety.

  Hey, did you notice where you downloaded my profile pic from? ;-)

  I invite your thoughts on the matter.

  Well, I second Nathan's motion: ask them if you really think you're on to something interesting (I don't think so). There are hundreds, probably thousands of web sites with a hyperlink to www.watchtower.org and other religious groups.

  If this really turns out to be "big news", you can be ordained Pope of my private little sect. Free pork for a lifetime, and all the virgins you can carry.

  Well folks, this is big news!

  Huh? The "Interfaith Center of New York" puts a link to the WTS web site on their pages. Anyone can do that, even the Satanistic Swine-Sacrificing Sect of Fodeja the Great, without asking the WTS for permission.

  Is there any indication that the WTS is an affiliate of this Interfaith Center, except the fact that they put an HTML snippet pointing to watchtower.org on their site?

  i read a post the other day (i believe by fedoja) that suggested we do a regression analysis to determine what factors are significant in jw growth are decline.

  basically is a strong economy correlated with a jw drop in numbers?

  i have statgraphics and i know how to crate forecast models so if you guys can get me the stats in excel format i can run the analysis.

  I have OECD data for practically all economic indicators all over the world, but unfortunately only up to 1997 or so. I'll check if I can find anything more recent.

  I quit smoking because for me it was an expensive habit and I wanted to start studying with the witnesses again.

  Which only goes to show, again, that bad association spoils useful habits.

  p.s.. Disclaimer: no, I don't think smoking weed is necessarily a "useful habit". Although, compared to a JW bible study...;-)

  I mean you have to assume that a good percentage of users will becaome addicts and quite a few won't function properly and become non-productive citizens.

  Besides the fact that Marijuana is not physically addictive, I'd be more worried about the presumably large percentage of Americans that are hooked on prescription drugs or alcohol.

  Taking all sorts of synthetic drugs is perfectly legal even for young kids if they can be "diagnosed" with some sort of "disorder", preferably one with a three letter acronym.

  Actually, I find it more risky to legalise Hashish in one rather small country that's surrounded by countries where it isn't legal, such as the Netherlands. Still, it seems to work there.

  Who is Lyndon Larouche?

  by cynicus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a discussion about the looming end of this system as propagated by some poster here, larc said:.

  i think most economists don't even bother, because larouch is so far off from reality, a true fringe player.

  there are many critiques of larouch's politics, which are interesting reading.. to be honest i had never heard from this guy before.

  The fact that you haven't heard of Lyndon LaRouche is a story in itself. It is not necessarily a reflection of your ignorance as much as it indicates how absolutely brainwashed the average American is by the media.

  Er, no. It's probably an indication of your own brainwashing, as you simply assert that "cynicus" is not only average, but also an American.

  As regards LaRouche: with so many loonies available on this world, it's sort of hard to pick the most interesting ones.

  One of the greatest problems for the mankind...

  by Erich in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the greatest problems for the future of our economy is only known by few "insiders".

  even wts do not know this matter.

  since i'm a patent-expert, it's perhaps my own business to talk about it.

  I don't know, Erich, but after reading your brief autobiography...could it be that you're, well, projecting personal issues on the rest of the world?

  I don't claim to have read everything available on your site thorougly, but I see lots of assertions and speculation and not a lot of "backup", so to speak.

  What happened in 1997 that precipitated the beginning of the decline in baptisms?

  Careful! 1997 was the beginning of decline in baptisms world-wide, but the statistics aren't the same all over the world. 1997 was the year when the decline in many countries was not compensated by the increase in other countries any more.

  Take a look at the baptisms statistics for pretty much every country of Europe, or Canada, or Australia. Baptisms peaked around 1990 (+/- 2 years) and went down from there. What happened at the beginning of the 1990s?
