  Socialism

  by Perry in

  1. social
  2. current

  socialists think that money will solve all man's problems.

  everything is obsessively related to money in the socialist ideology.. they have an almost supernatural ability to blame others with more money.

  god calls this greed and envy.

  What do you mean by socialism?

  I live in a Scandinavian country which by many accounts are more socialistic than e.g. USA. Scandinavian countries are sometimes heralded as paradise on earth which I disagree with, however by no accounts can it be said that socialism has caused Scandinavia to fail in any objective way (wealth, happiness index, life expectancy, child mortality). We are of course not socialist in the sense we believe everything can be solved with money but I think even you understand that is a strawman.

  So are Scandinavia socialist? Is it more socialist than e.g. the USA? Can we agree that countries can be at least this socialist without failing?

  I find it very hard to believe legal liabilities alone can be the cause of the current halts... I mean it would have to be 100s of millions of dollars to make a serious dent in the income from Brooklyn. I hope the truth leaks eventually.

  Excellent Conversation At Literature Trolley

  yesterday my wife and i enjoyed one of our regular days out at edinburgh - movie, lunch, walk, meal etc.. in the late afternoon while mrs cofty went shopping i had an hour at the excellent museum of scotland and arranged to meet up outside the national gallery on princes street.

  on my way back i saw the jw trolley was at the usual spot on the royal mile.

  there was an older man and a young woman standing well back trying hard to look inconspicuous.

  Cofty: The new approach is to keep pointing at the website logo. Whatever happened to "always ready to give a defense"?

  Tiger numbers in the wild have risen slightly

  by Xanthippe in

  2. current

  in 1900 there were 100,000 tigers in the wild.

  a hundred or so years later there were only 3,200 due to habitat destruction and poaching for traditional medicine.

  for the first time in a hundred years the numbers have risen.. .

  jambon1:

  It's what didn't happen!.

  Last fall when we got the reports about the world-wide money problems one of the big news was the Chelmsford was temporarily halted. I think the current word is that construction is happening albeit slowly and the project has been scaled back dramatically. IIRC there was a big JWTV thing on Chelmsford before the money news broke which (i think!) included models of the finished project. I hope someone will be able to revisit and compare those with the finished project eventually.

  Quite an amazing conversation, I am very impressed how you were able to turn it into a personal conversation on your own views of the organization. It is a damn good idea to hammer on the cartoons. If they don't sit 100% well with him, he is going to have you in the back of his .every.damn.time. they play one of those at an assembly or meeting.

  I have almost been hoping to talk with some witness, however they seem to never be around where I live for the past few years.

  A thing I might have done differently than you would be that the comment the books were written by men would be too good to let pass. I think an important followup is "So you say we cannot trust something that is written by men?" with the intention of immediately moving on to ask who wrote the literature he is offering and then go on to question him when one can trust something and when one cannot trust it.. the fundamental hypocrisy of rejecting evolution without having studied it is I think the biggest weakness of most JWs.
