  Britain Branch Construction - UPDATE

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower

  definitely something going in the london bethel.. i thought i'd ask them again (and record it again) what the situation was regarding the new britain branch construction work.. i got the same sister (debbie) and here is how the conversation went: .

  me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.

  debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

  IMO there is nothing sinister about GMO's, this kind of genetic manipulation is just the next step from the phenotypic breeding methods that have been employed for millennia. GM plants can benefit us by providing greater yields per hectare, more robust plants and plants that can produce higher levels of beneficial molecules, such as soluble fibres, than can be found in nature.

  Where I have an issue is when commercial organisations such as Monsanto use bullying tactics in order to protect their patents and sell their brand of poison along with the seeds or even worse, impregnate their GM seeds with their toxic cocktails.

  I think the world should just grow Avena sativa - there are no GMO oats.

  Huge project, poor planning, poor choices, volunteer workers, what could possibly go wrong?

  With Jehovah's Holy Spirit anything is possible......

  Question: why isnt it sprayed on in a fraction of the time??

  This is an elastomeric membrane which in its unpolymerised state would have a "stringy" rheology and too high a viscosity to spray.

  Edit....Which means they went cheap and bought the wrong product for the area being covered.

  hello, lurkers and curious.

  1. what actual worship did you do at the meetings or gatherings?.

  That tumble weed will continue blow in no-man's land.

  I guess the worship is the "singing" of badly composed dirges and prayers blessing the GB for all the work they do on our behalf - and where "Jehovah" is used as a full-stop after every sentence.

  Hi Min, I am sorry you are losing your mother. It sounds like she is being given excellent end of life care and knows she is loved by her family.

  Calm Down Everybody, We Will Know Soon Enough

  seriously, they will change the midweek meeting ever so slightly.

  it is just repackaging of the same old stuff.seriously, we don't know if construction is halted for days, weeks, months, forever, or what.. we don't know if new kingdom halls will still go up, old kingdom halls will be closed and sold.

  they have laid off bethelites before and they will lay them off some more.

  Are You A Thinker And A Lurker?

  by konceptual99 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are a lurker then you are probably a thinker.

  you will already be wondering about a number of aspects of jw doctrine and how they stack up against reason, logic and modern scientific evidence.

  if so, then i appeal to you to meditate and reason on one implication arising from the latest news that the next publication will be a simplified version of an already simplified book.
