WTS Cashes In On Tsunami
by ezekiel3 inin an informal announcement at service meetings this week (corroborated by the question box in the january 2005 our kingdom ministry, pg 7) jws interested in contributing to the asian tsunami disaster should contribute directly to the "worldwide work" (the general fund).. the entire article referenced above: .
what is the best way to make contributions for the benefit of needy brothers in other lands?.
at times, we hear about brothers in another land who have come into material need because of persecution, disaster, or other difficult circumstances.

by AloneinOh intalking about 1975 and the push by the society got me to looking at some older quotes.
this one here really bugged me and still pisses me off when i read it.
in this instance they are telling you to forget about jesus and listen to the society.

Alan, you quoted Carl Sagan, (anyone can repply)
by one ini am lazy and never read too much about speculative topics such as metaphysics but,
somewhere in this board you make reference about a guy who, imo (not that i know much about him), made a lot of speculations
as carl sagan once remarked, it's remarkable that a religion so transparently dishonest has any adherents at all, but that's a measure of the gullibility of the ultra-religious mind.. .

LCD screens, do you have one?
by JH inthis week, i'll go and buy a lcd screen for my computer.
try to fit a 4:3 ratio picture into a 5:4 ratio screen, and it will distort.
i'd like to have your feedback on this, if you noticed any distortion in your pictures when you changed from a crt 4:3 ratio to a lcd screen 5:4 ratio.
