I have much experience with transporting oil products by pipe & rail. I think transporting by pipe is the best means, but you need to pressure companies & regulators to put the extra money into proper routes, upgraded metallurgy and top quality engineers & craftspeople working on these pipeline projects.

I was suprised to see that these trains can be left unattended. Thank goodness it wasn't tankcars of LPG material, or more people could have been killed. With the construction of new pipelines being held up by political & environmental debate, more or more crude oil products are being transported by railroad nowadays.

This is horrible. Train derailment happened in Lac-Megantic, Quebec. Officials expect the death toll to increase. Some news reports I've read say the train was carrying crude oil from North Dakota to Canadian oil refineries.
No doubt this will increase the debate on what is the safer means of transporting oil across land.....pipelines or railroads.

Are Jehovahs Witnesses raised to be Anti-American?
by Joliette inwas thinking about this yesterday on the 4th?
due to the practices, no voting, shunning activities, not getting involved with the community, school, etc, etc.
what do you guys think?

The JW Governing Body and Watchtower religion is definately anti-American. There are probaby many individual JW's that are actually proud of being Americans and what America stands for. However, you know they have to keep it to themselves for fear of resprisals.

Interesting quote from the DC
by GoodGuyGreg ini don't know if anybody else has mentioned this, but i'm currently at a dc in sweden, and this morning, during the symposium on different kinds of service, it was mentioned that 40% of baptisms are the result of informal witnessing.
if you add the number of baptisms of children of jw parents to this, how many are left that are baptized as a result of the door-to-door work?
doesn't sound very effective at all....

The 40% number is a Watchtower lie. It's probably more like 40% of informal witnessing converts are unstable nutjobs.

I'm on the Stage Const. Crew - Here at the Arena right now!!!
by tresdecu inafter lunch i will be the guy nail gunning the plywood letters to the top part of the stage.
so when i get to the word truth, i am going to mutter "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit....etc" the whole time i'm nailing the letters, obviously very quietly to myself.
;-) that way when i am listening to the bs tomorrow, i can smile to myself knowing the letters have been properly christened!

Friend gets "scriptural divorce" over wifes transgressions before they got married...
by sosoconfused inso i have a friend in a congregation in new jersey who recently called me to tell me that he got a divorce.
nothing surprising there at first but it is the fact of when it happened.
his wife began pioneering april 1, and after about three weeks she came to him and told him that about 4 years she had engaged in loose conduct (fondling the penis and the guy kissing her breasts) during a time that she was inactive.

This woman should count her lucky stars and use this craziness to get away from her husband & this crazy cult now. Truth be told, he got her to tell him all the details, found out he is much smaller than the other guy, and jealousy is driving this insane consideration.

Welcome. I commend you for being smart enough to see behind the Watchtower wizard's curtain and awaken.
