I am not sure I would be blowing a trumpet over this one! While the rest of the world and media are embracing the electronic format and reducing the amount printed to save trees and the baby squirrels who live in them, the watchtower is doing the opposite!
There are 7 billion people in the world and around 7 million witnesses.
So witnesses make up 1000th of the world population.
Yet they print 1 billion mazagines per year.
Thats roughly 142 magazines per year per witness.
Assuming each magazine has 50 pages thats 3.125 million trees per year.
Thats a lot of trees and energy to use up and for what gain? Assuming each witness took 12 magazines for themself that still leaves 0.9 billion magazine for non witnesses.
How many people joined the witnesses in the last year? I don't think it was very many.
The Return On Investment is just not there!
Save a baby squirrel!

Quoted from SD-7's post
one member of the Governing Body said, "To know where we are going, we have to know where we have come from."
hmmmm did a governing memeber really say this or did he quote someone else? Its very familar.

How The Watchtower Instills Fear

wt quotes are taken from their own website so as not to be out of context as the jdub apologists will cry out.. http://www.watchtower.org/e/20060915/article_02.htm.

Your absolutely right!
The watchtower also fails to mention that values have changed and where as 50 - 100 years ago civillian casulties were an unfortunate evil of war and just accepted where as today its not acceptable.
During middle ages it was normal for every man, woman and child, civilian or not to be executed, towns and villages raised to the ground. It created fear and helped the invading army maintain control.
Consider this, in the 200 years of Mogol regin and expansion started by Gengis Khan it is estimated that 30 to 60m people died! Now imagine how many more would have died if he had been armed with a machine gun, bombs, cannons and tanks!
Whilst in the 20th century the way we waged war became more mechanised, at the same time we have become more selective.

I remember the tornado. i'm in B-town.
Not having kids i have no level of understanding the pain this must be causing you but at the same time I am shocked at how your ex has completely destroyed any sense of love or loyalty your daughter held for you. (although this might be due to duress rather than choice)

Just come across this thread.
WOW, King, just WOW. I remember reading your threads about the judge making it clear that your ex and co were not to alienate your children.
Can't this go back in front of the court? It seems so unfair.
I suppose the slow chipping at your elderst daughter she finally cracked to the pressure.
Wrong just so wrong.......

?JW guy and Taser attack during Cowboys - Jets game?
by james_woods ini just saw this on the morning tv news - and did not get to hear enough of it to make sense:.
but, they were saying something about a patron sneaking a taser into the sunday game and using it on another fan.. they also said that one of the guys (i assumed the victim) was "a devout jehovah's witness who does not believe in saluting the flag or standing for the national anthem".. anybody know what happened here?.

Errr lets just get this straight
JW who is a cowboys fan, with tats to the dallas cowboys brings a taser to a football game
He then sits through the national anthem and makes various comments during amazing grace.
All of this while you have a marine who has probably been to stan or iraq and on september 11th.
Oh and beer is involved!
What did the JW expect! A nice friendly hug!
there is only one way to describe this individual
MALE CHICKEN
There is a shorter word for the same but i would then break item 3 of the posting guidlines.
