Indeed. There is a big difference in choosing to place trust in the findings of scientists to the extent of acting on them, and believing the teachings of a bible cult. Suggesting the two things are one and the same makes one's argument seem weak to my mind.

The Hope For Our Dying Home-Earth...An Inconvenient Truth
by justhuman inyesterday it was the day of the global inviroment.
as i walked to the street going to work, the main square of the capitol was filled with small children and their teachers with huge paintings, songs, art work with recycled elements demanding a cleaner plannet.
when the old generation will pass those little ones that will take in charge with all the inviromental education they had they will go for a better world.i'm sure about it, you could see it in their small eyes.

Hello redredrose. :) Good to have you here, and thanks for sharing.
So... is your husband willing to discuss the bible with you? Anyways, don't push anything and take it easy with him. -

Violations of privacy re: postal mail by JWs
by Dogpatch ini have been sending out orders of books to jws, ex-jws and others for over 25 years.
sometimes plain wrap to keep the family's noses out of it.
over the years i have seen the same constant pattern: whenever the questioning jw lives with or near family members who are currently jws, they want to break open the mail to see what others are ordering!!

But not surprising.
I remember seeing some pretty complicated diagrams of pyramids and ages in one of my Grandma's books. -

No. England might be painful to watch at times (like when they stop attacking and attempt to defend out a lead), but I always want them in.

You buy your food with money... [...]
Thanks for the summary, BTL, showing that burning fossil fuels is embedded in our current way of life. In your opinion, is it viable that elements of what you described can be gradually converted to non-carbon dioxide emitting processes without causing the damage of which you speak?

Reading this topic in the active topics list:
Are the JW's All About... ...Honesty
:D Appearances would be more accurate, yes. Also about warding off insecurity and fear (having something to believe in and tell you what to do all the time).
