seriously, you'd make good ones!

I'm a peakoilbeliever, know my economics and politics and see PO as an opportunity. An opportunity to make this a cleaner world, more honest world, a more equal world, a more peaceful world.

Sure it will be a long road, rocky at times. But I know biofuels are already economically viable and they will become only more so. And as India and China develop while the prices of oil are skyhigh, I know the rest of the world can and will follow behind closely (just look at what china is investing in Africa these days!) No more dirty oilwars, no more American worlddomination and when we go into outter space.....

I wonder if the only way man can gain wisdom is through crisis? I know eastern philosophy teaches that we as individuals can gain understanding, and wisdom through the difficult times in our lives. Does mankind NEED difficulty to force us to learn? We don’t seem to be able to learn any other way. Lots of knowledge here in the 21st century but very little wisdom.

Whew! Psychology is the right forum for this thread.



On second thought, is it not ironic that 50 years ago the world saw the people of the US as the ultimate optimists.

Maybe they saw us that way 5 years ago too…



Ah well, it was a good run while it lasted.

It’s tough growing up.

[rwwff]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mekrob', 'T')hat got me thinking. Are we really a more intelligent life form, or simply a more able life form?

Well Peak Oil does become a factor in that our preaching will be done to God's satisfaction (the official line) and then .... well that's all folks. I was telling a fellow Witness that peak oil (reducing mankind to fighting over resources), global warming (perhaps a real question of life supporting ability of the planet), and a major die-off makes preaching a moot point - so it might end now. So there is quite a convergence of trends in the time we are living.

I actually do know some stuff about the organisation, the blood issue, the failed prophesies, the shunning of family members etc.

Bas, what are you smoking there in the Netherlands?

Things probably look promising in the Netherlands, at the moment, but that's only because your country, like ours, has been a prime planet raper.

I am for real, alot of people here have an attitude problem.

From my point of view it seems Jehovahs witnesses dont tell you all the things that might not have went alright, e-watchman is a site run by ex-JW's and JW's and you might learn some things about JW's there. I currently associate with JW's
