Did you "make the Truth your own"? (page 4)

Mr. Falcon

Okay, this might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever admitted to: for an assignment in junior high band class I played "Make the Truth Your Own" in front of the class...on the saxophone. Okay, gotta go kick my own ass now for that one.

A little pee just slipped out. That's brutal, my friend. I'm assuming that the ladies weren't throwing their panties up on stage?

Cheez, this is wonderful. From now on I'm gonna be MF. Splendid.

Mr. Falcon

Cheez is my avatar back?

While I was a witless, I was not successful and basically lost all motivation after the first year in. I would do just enough to look busy in the cancer, but not with sincerity (and I always hoped that a blizzard would cancel the boasting sessions). I lived for those days when no one showed up in field circus--and, in cases of dense fog, I was hoping that no one would come out. Invariably, that didn't do anything.

Now, things are so much simpler. Pushing religion aside, I can keep watch on reality. If I see that the politicians and the Fed are destroying this country, I can take steps to get ready. The EPA is going to start regulating power plants this July for carbon output--I used that as the absolute deadline to stock up on rechargeable batteries and chargers (because they will be hard to get after that). QE2? Upon seeing that, I started getting interested in taking all the money sitting in bank accounts earning 0.5% or less and putting it into silver (and doing the research to find out that silver is way underpriced relative to gold). There is little I can do about the "phude" bill (S-510) or the sick care bill that passed last March, but at least I can get ready for the fake energy crisis and the hyperinflation that are on their way.

In that way, I have better responded to the actual truth--and made the real truth my own, without any help from religion--as an apostate than I ever could have as a witless. As a witless, I would have been told not to look at QE2 as a sign of anything except Jehovah's day (which didn't come before the First Dark Ages, so will not come now). I would have also never been allowed to look at Osama Obama getting the EPA to regulate power plants via the carbon limits after Congress killed similar rules last year--hence, never seeing the truth that rolling blackouts are likely once such regulations go into full effect this coming July.

In honesty I never really understood how that concept worked!!

No. I made my own " truth ". I realized the JW's and WT society never HAD the " truth "

Awesome Cheez...I'd love a slow clap. True identity: Kenny G

Brutal indeed, Falcon. BTW, thanks for starting a topic that dug up a longtime repressed memory. And no, no panties. Funny thing is you didn't have to say what you were playing. Just thought everyone would think it was a great piece of music! After class two girls asked me if I played in church. Busted.
