  "Instant Karma's gonna get you,

  Gonna knock you right in the face!"
  

  Anybody ever see the movie or read the book "A Civil Action"? This is basically the same situation. The WTBS is in for a very long, very expensive legal battle. These corporations can hide and move and shuffle the blame around forever...
  And the WTBS should know, they have been experts at it for quite awhile themselves...

  the battle of the century is a silent short film starring american comedydouble act laurel and hardy.

  the team appeared in a total of 107 films between1921 and 1951.. the film is famous for using over 3,000 cream pies in the film's climacticpie fight; however, for many years, its second reel, containing the fight,only survived in three minutes of fragments used in the documentaries ofrobert youngson.

  the complete reel was rediscovered in 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/the_battle_of_the_century.

  glenster,
  
  If you ever get the chance, you must see the stage production of the 39 Steps. It's a great tribute/spoof to the film and to the other well known works of Alfred Hitchcock. I saw it in Toronto last Summer, and it was fantastic.

  It sure would be nice if the link pointed directly to the document you are quoting, instead of just the page it may or may not be on. I can't find it!

  My opinion?
  A person working a job should not have to get government assistance in order to make ends meet, while his employer continues to enjoy tax advantages that helps them maximize their bottom line. We, the regular taxpayer, have to make up the difference by paying higher taxes to fund the programs. To help people WITH JOBS actually survive.
  
  Pay a decent wage, indexed for the area of the country you run your business in. Some places like New York would be higher, other places like Fumbuck, Arkansas would be lower. But pay a living wage.
  
  Making statements like "If you don't like it, leave!", "Move where the jobs are!" and "Get and education if you want a good job!" sound exactly like the harsh, arrogant attitudes I heard in every car group I ever had the misfortune to ride in. Along with that other standard "Wait on God's Kingdom, and ALL your problems will be solved!"

  I love all this "Black/White" thinking, and "simple answers". No wonder being a Witness was so appealing. That's all they have, too.

  Thank for the contribution, outofthebox. I'm sure Shirley W wasn't just rebuking you because she finds Spanish a difficult language to translate...

  Paris as an opportunity to frame religious extremism

  by NeverKnew in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in a conversation, my jw listener posed the sadness and the unnecessary loss of life of the bombings.

  also, something was said about a belief on the extremist's part that their actions would or could bring armageddon to earth (i wasn't clear as to where this came from).

  i recognized the connection that i believed was being drawn and that's when i went off.. the gist of my response:.

  The dubs will decry the horrible events of that day, but they simultaneously look forward to the day when all non-believers will be slaughtered by angelic hosts in an event that would make Paris look like a day at Euro-Disney.
