I like to focus on and learn from what positive, action oriented people are doing instead of those with negative, destructive ideals. Permaculture has been one ideal that I find resonates with me:

I'm too much of a rebel and analytical thinker to be a JW. If it had been me, I probably would have said something like :
"We're trying to start a family here. Shove off!"

by smiddy inthe first part was a heading in the herald sun newspaper tues.sep.15 ,2015 melbourne victoria .. , lorikeets and other parrots are becoming meat eaters---and researchers want to know why.. griffith university professor darryl jones has heard the herbivorous bird was eating mince left out by bird feeders in brisbane (australia ) "in two weeks i had about 500 emails from across the country all saying lorikeets were eating meat" he said.. that will surely get the faithful thinking the big "a" is almost upon us.. in the 1960`s i was told that buzzards and other carnivorous birds were laying twice as many eggs than was normal proving the big "a' was almost here.. here we go again.

Most birds are omnivores, eating both vegetation and meat of some kind.
Edited to add: Birds will eat what is available so I suspect this is occurring because more meat and less vegetation is presently in their environment.
In Canada, our wild birds tend to be more carnivorous during the spring, summer, and fall when insects are plentiful. The ones that don't go south become more vegetarian during the winter as that is what is most plentiful. For birds of prey, they will usually feast on whatever is available as well, but tend to stick predominantly to a meat diet such as mice, small animals, birds, etc.

If THIS MAN were a Jehovah's Witness 2 million babies would be dead
by Terry injames harrison has magical blood.. specifically, his blood contains an extremely rare enzyme that can be used to treat babies dying of rhesus disease.
if you've never heard of that disease and figure it's not a big deal, well, wait for the numbers.. harrison, being a generous type, has donated his rare, life-saving blood roughly 1,000 times over 56 years.
this has saved the lives of--seriously, you're not going to believe this--over two million babies around the world.. .

I posted an article about James to my Facebook page a little while ago. He's an amazing man. I believe he is too old now to donate any longer. It is on my to-do list to check into donating blood.
I was a teenage girl back in the '70s and '80s and my parents informed me that having a blood transfusion was forbidden. I was very afraid if I needed a blood transfusion that my parents would deny it. What a thing for a child to be afraid of.

The closest I can find is 'The Jacob Sheep'. They are actually spotted but some of the spots look a bit stripey.
Regardless, gazing upon striped sticks will not produce striped offspring. The Bible rendering makes it sound all magic-like when in fact it could have been they were drawn to these sticks for other reasons, but alas, the Bible does not articulate that.

The only way to know God exists!
by iconoclastic indo everything as god would do if he were present here.
this will attract his attention, and you will experience his invisible hands blessing everything you do, giving you results more than what you sowed.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
hence put to the test the above, and then you can make really authentic comments!.

Photosynthesis and the problem with the creation story
by purrpurr ini just noticed in the bible that on day three, god created the plants and trees on the earth.... day four, god created the sun, moon and stars!
so that means that the vegetation that is by its very nature dependant upon light to grow and photosynthesise was created a day before the sun that it needs to live!???.
this gets even more strange when you factor in the jw exhuse that a day to god is like a thousand years.

If a planet is not located within 'the habitable zone' of a star, life such as we have here on Earth will not be occurring on that planet.
