in another thread link said: .

i am not well versed in u.s. tax laws but it is my understanding that even in the u.s.anyone making loans on which interest is charged is considered to be operating a taxable business.

in the u.k. the societies loans are interest free but they take control of the building once the loan has been completely repaid.

AUTO GASOLINE .85 CENTS A GALLON IN IDAHO

.

thought you might find this of interest.. for late model vehicles with multi fuel systems, gasoline consisting of 85% methanol "alcohol" and 15% gasoline is now available at one service station in boise idaho, at (( eighty five cents )) a gallon.. the methanol is made from potato waste left over at processing plants.. it has fewer contaminants than gasoline and if spilled, the methanol will turn into water, making it environmental acceptable.. performance is supposed to be equal to gasoline.. that eighty five cents a gallon looks good to me.. outoftheorg.

having explained to my "ever loving" how you do not need money to live like a millionaire, i get told that nobody in the world works as hard as the members of the governing body.

their schedule of writing tasks, world travel and giving talks at conventions and assemblies is exhausting because it is never ending.

they never have time to draw breath before their next assignment and their busy schedules would kill many people half their age.. is this correct?

i was once told that rutherford only decided that christmas was a "no no" after he split up with his wife.

because if he could not spend christmas with his family then no one would.. it sounds far fetched but could any of the contributors to farkels giant "rutherford exposed" thread confirm that the date for the christmas ban came anywhere near rutherfords split with his wife?.
