I like it last week when he said, "My Muslim faith" and George Stephanopoulos had to jump in and bail him out!

no sun spots?
by John Doe indrop in solar activity has potential effect for climate on earth.. .
the sun has reached a milestone not seen for nearly 100 years: an entire month has passed without a single visible sunspot being noted.
the event is significant as many climatologists now believe solar magnetic activity which determines the number of sunspots -- is an influencing factor for climate on earth.. according to data from mount wilson observatory, ucla, more than an entire month has passed without a spot.

Ya, I posted info on this in a Global warming thread. I was attacked and disfellowshipped as a man-made global warming non-believer. This whole topic is so dub-like. Bringing data that offers possible scenarios outside of man-made causes is like bringing proof that 607 is a false date. How dare I question the Governing Body (Al Gore)!!!!!!

I think most of that would not hold any water with die-hards. All they would point to bible examples and they would explain away all of it. they are totally brainwashed. For example the first part of your letter. "Do you honestly think a loving God would kill over 6 billion people, and spare only 6 million, because they wouldn't serve him? Would your conscience allow YOU to do that, if you were the all powerful creator? If you wouldn't have the heart to kill all those people, old men and women, babies and young children, do you honestly think a loving God would?" What instantly comes to mind is the story of the great flood. god had to wipe the earth clean. they believe that as fact and the "loving" thing to do.

Do young JWs care about the dates 1914 or 1919 anymore?
by 1914BS inthe wt mags are using the word "1914" and "1919" less often because jw teenagers today could not care less about the hard core teachings of the past.
the jw religion today is not the same religion it was even 10 years ago.

Very true, but younger ones are a reflection of their parents. If dates start changing again I believe many of the parents will start to "fall away" and the kids will follow 9 times out of 10. That's what you look for.

Ya, but really, how long can that explanation last, being a undefined period of time? From what I've seen, the R+F are looking for anything, any possible sign because we are so far past 1914. What I mean is it would not surprise one bit that some "new light" will come out saying that the "last days" really didn't start in 1914 but started at a later point in time. Meaning Christ did return in 1914 but that is not necessarily when the last days begun.

What do you feel is the reason the WTS succeeds in retaining its members?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmost of my family have been members since the early 1970's.they attend 3 meetings per week,fly or drive to summer assemblies,preach the average 10 hours per month,and read the same boring watchtower magazine week after week.
the congregation has lost nearly all the young teens,many have quit attending all the meetings,some divorced,and some members just going thru the motions.
i'm never going to question them on why they still remain members but shouldn't all the promises of "this generation never dying" make them question the wts.... just a little?

I think it a few reasons for different groups of people. For example, born-ins like me, are afraid of losing everything from family right down to friends. And from what I've see, most "new ones" are doing it for social reasons. They may outcasts with nothing out there and here is this group that on the surface takes you in.

As more and more time passes, the dates are getting more and more irrelevant. What I'm waiting for is more "new light" that will further extend the "last days" past 1914.

Inrainbows, and if you look there are plenty as well that say it is not man-made. All I'm saying is, and this applies to both sides, the topic has turned political instead of scientific. Both sides can produce data to back up their claims. So what is the solution? I'll be honest, once I hear taxing the US or "carbon offsets" I tune out. I just really think it has turned agenda driving.

Have all you people forgotten everything we have learned?? The dinosaurs were all killed by the Great Flood which was also the cause of all the Earths abnormalities!
But seriously, I found something pretty interesting, there could be a correlation or not. But the sun had a period of slight inactivity for the past month or so. In fact last month the science world noted the sun was void of sun spots. Sun spots are surrounded by intense magnetic activity and are the origin of solar flares and solar storms. The cooler summer here could be attributed to the suns quiet period right now. And no, I'm not a scientist, I just stayed at a Holiday Inn! but here's the sun spot link.

And as far as global warming goes, it's a cycle. Most scientists believe the Earth is warming......but good luck trying to find a credible one saying that man is causing it.
