more changes in us and canada operations.. new "arrangements" in jw.org to get more benefits and less costs.
logistics in canada and the united states will be managed by a new arrangement.. confidential: a famous supermarket and logistics company will take care of sending literature, keep an eye not getting your wt supplies together with a butter cream pot.. read well: wal **** logistics .... more layoffs.... headquarters in canada of this famous company only at 37 km away from watchtower canada..
Logistics -- that would be sending magazines from the printing place to KHs? (not sure how the arrangement works right now). Do you have any idea/guess about the time frame for when this will be announced and implemented?
I guess that under the great tribulation the secret supermarket will be the last thing to go under lol.
...right from a pro-jw site in response to a post about the relative seriousness of homosexuality.
all you can do is reason from the scriptures, which you appear to have done.
homosexuality is as serious as bestiality, or adultery and fornication.
The idea that what others do in private requires or is any way interested in your "endorsement" is not only bizarre. It's actually what I would call perverted or abhorrent.
I am thinking about including my endorsements into every-day conversations, they are a biographical fact I don't think people can do without:
"Despite you and your wife both being quite fat, Sir, I must say you are both very fine people. I will allow for you to carry out sexual acts even though I cannot endorse them"
how did such a weighty decision get put directly in the hands on the average citizen?
and with only a simple majority required?
in the usa the biggest thing that people vote on directly is city building projects or infrastructure.
Johnfree: i am sorry, but that is not what the commision does. I am on an ipad but i recommend you read about it on the net. Briefly, the commission draft legislation which is then voted on. The commission has to be selected and confirmed democratically every 4 years. Compare to role of other appointed officials in democratic systems

observations: if man is merely a machine and the universe is merely a mechanism .... if men were only machines, they would react more or less uniformly to a material universe.
individuality, much less personality, would be nonexistent.. materialism reduces man to a soulless automaton and constitutes him merely an arithmetical symbol finding a helpless place in the mathematical formula of an unromantic and mechanistic universe.
but whence comes all this vast universe of mathematics without a master mathematician?
Okay Believer, so the principle you are following is that if I don't know how something works that means your explanation is correct?
If not, please explain what principle you are following because I am confused...

Sorry but that's not how it works. That I don't know how conscience works does not mean your favored idea is correct. Also I don't know how you get the idea of "spontaneously created itself" from, that sounds utterly bizarre.

How do you know a machine cannot do those things?

freddo: The ballot should have been like this:
What do you prefer?
[ ] Leave the EU
[ ] Remain in the EU
[ ] A pint of beer

Re. emotions:
the government hadn't appeared to listenPeople felt that they were being micromanaged
They also felt that the country's infrastructure was breaking down
They felt too that their national identity was being eroded
They didn't feel that their concerns were being taken seriously
So finally they lost patience and walked.
One could also ask in another way: Did the people do it's job to investigate what the EU was and what the benefits of being a member of the EU is?
