  What are they for?

  They are great for making one-of-a-kind items and low volume production parts--prototypes and experimental designs. Among other things, a 3-D printed part can be used as the master to make molds for sand-castings. With the right (professional) equipment, it's faster and less expensive than making metal tools for high-colume production in a machine shop. For limited quantities the final parts can be of equal quality (until the plastic master wears down--which is why high-volume production tools aren't made of plastic).

  are they simply trying to make their bible more readable, or do you think there is a more sinister motive?.

  It may sound silly, but one thing a new NWT with a distinctive new color cover does, is to identify those who are on board with Corporate Policy. An updated Witness ID card, as it were.

  Genesis 3:6 - Is it correct or incorrect?

  an examination of genesis 3:6.... .

  in the 2013 nwt we read: "consequently, the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something desirable to the eyes, yes, the tree was pleasing to look at.".

  in the douay-rheims bible we read: "and the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold".

  New Jerusalem Bible uses both senses in the translation:

  The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give...

  Likewise, the RSV (Catholic edition) translates it as:

  So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise...

  Excellent points.

  As long as ACA simply focuses on paying the bill, no matter how steep the price, insurers, hospitals and medical suppliers have absolutely no reason to lower their charges.

  The ACA (and the British NHS, etc.) are based on two premises:

  (a) That society as a whole receives less than the optimal amount of health care services, thus causing unecessary suffering and premature death.

  (b) That this should be changed by subsidizing health care. ACA is intended to increase consumption of medical services, which must be paid for.

  One side denies the reality of premise (a), the other of premise (b). Both sides need a dose of reality--a commodity in short supply on the banks of the Potomac River!

  He is telling you how little you mean to him, whether he realizes it or not. I had a similar experience, spending our last two anniversaries alone while Ex went to week-night meetings.

  Annual Meeting Instructions to MS / Elders

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have any elders or ministerial servants here recieved any specific instructions regarding the annual meeting?

  as an ms all i have been told to do is to arrive early to "await further instruction due to the sensitive nature of my assignment".

  ironically all i can imagine after hearing that a few times is dispensing cyanide laced kool aid to attendees.
