  "The Oil markets should be closed to anyone who doesn't have a material business interest in the use or commerce of oil (as in actual oil, not "oil futures stock market positions")."

  If you close off the free market system of trading Oil, what's next? The stock market? You don't have a material interest in each company you invest in, so you can't trade. The Bond market? The Currencies market?

  If you shut down Capitalism, you shut down country. If you shut down Capitalism you shut down the very foundation that America was founded on.

  If you shut down Capitalism, you end up like the old USSR....except the USA would be called USSA. The United Soviet Socialists of America.

  I agree with Burn, Oil is the new "Gold Standard". What happens with Oil (as Gold used to) happens in our economy. It no longer matters how much we have or don't have in reserves, it matters what the traders think about future supply and demand. And remember, these are all futures contracts. Contracts on Oil to be delivered 3 months to 24 months down the road....so to speak.

  I don't hate anyone...I dislike a few, but hate can lead to lots of other issues....like murder.

  so this last week i went to visit a very dear friend of mine about 21 hours away.

  she is one of the two people i have had a major hand in helping to see the bullshit of the watchtower religion.

  in any case, as we were driving through a neighborhood, guess what we saw.

  What a lame waste of time and energy....fit for a 15 year old maybe, but an adult? And how much time did you spend "messing with them?"

  WT speaks out on phone sex!! LOL!

  i was reading the "mobile phone" thread and then found the article below on the official wt web site.

  i'm surprised they don't tell people to empty the garbage and polish their shoes when they get horny rather than engage in phone sex.

  why the wt feels the need to comment on these topics is really beyond me, but it's good for a laugh.. http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2004/2/22b/article_01.htm.

  The article makes you feel more like a Monk than anything else..... If you're courting each other, don't you kinda need to know about each other? Or is discussion of sex totally off limits until AFTER the marriage?

  If you are living with a partner, is it a marriage?

  by Quillsky in

  1. jw

  the definitions of partnerships are shifting.

  indeed, they are different around the world.. the law doesn't always protect good partnerships that aren't on paper, and sometimes the law protects truly bad partnerships that are on paper.

  the bible or church doesn't really have a definition of what a lawful "marriage" is.. i propose this..... if you set up home with a partner, you are "wed".

  I'm with Peaches...absolutely Jehovah was/is my best friend. Could care less if people labeled me a "Schizo" or whatever else they would like to label it for having a relationship with him. Too many times He proved it to me....

  I could tell you "Jaw Dropping" stories about how Jehovah helped me, over and over again. Of course, I always told Him how much I loved Him regardless of the help that he chose or did not choose to share with me. In other words, I asked for it, but did not demand or expect it from him. Kind of like a gift, you cannot demand a gift. It is either given out of love or it is withheld.

  Simple...
