Hello to all of you!

Here is a link where it comes forth that the Watchtower Society own shares in a Company cooperating with the Military, where they at the same time have condemned the Catholic Church for being owner of shares in Fiat making military equipment.

Why haven't the Society returned the shares, since they know what and that the Company is dealing with the Military?

Is it because they expect the value of the shares wil go up and then make profit at a Company producing warfare technology, if the case gets to hot, like their membersship of UN as a NGO?

Christian love to all of you.

This is a bogus issue. Plenty of real ones to talk about.

Hello to you Indigo Hound!

I fully agree with you that there are plenty of issues. I have found the blood issue as the most important, since it has and still send thousands of persons into a premature death, based at man made doctrines, but will it be possible to evaluate your apprehension, that the actual issue should be bogus?

Have you read the Societys response, even that we know that they call lies theocratical warfare, like and when they commit perjury against Human Right Watch in Bulgaria and as a member of UN as an NGO!

Christian love to all of you.

I don't really care what their response is. I've researched the whole Rand Cam/Regi issue and my conclusion is that the way it is portrayed is completely bogus. Pursuit of this particular line is a waste of time.
Here is an annual report from the SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
WASHINGTON DC that gives some more information about this.

I disagree with this statement completely as for we are discussing the organization that allowed all the people in Malawi to be tortured for not buying a 25 cent politcal card. I think that it is extremely significant if they do the above but buy stock from a company that makes wars supplies.

Re: "...but buy stock from a company that makes wars supplies."

If stocks of such nature were a gift (and not purchased) would it be somehow appropriate to own them?....I think not. Profit from them? I think not. Sell them, or give them away? I think not.

Burn them.....imo.


...
I can't believe someone resurrected this old canard. They didn't buy the Rand Cam stock, they have no control over it, and the last time I checked Rand Cam has not sold one engine to the military even though they've been testing them and the military is one of their potential customers. Y'all need to get a life and give up these gnat straining obsessions. Like I said, there are real issues to talk about and stuff like this just makes you look like you're not very bright.
Now I remember why I rarely bother to come here any more.
