  The Rebel

  I think that's the correct phrase? Anyway when I first came here, that little picture that "The Rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge. Now I feel after 7 months here, I should repaint that " Avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.

  In short my " Avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge. A sad man, a lonely man, having to discard all that watchtower " knowledge" and needing a new journey of discovery and "truth" in the hope of finding a more meaningful reason to live.

  How about you guys, did you put any thought in to your, username or Avetor?

  I think I don't have to "ex-splane" my name. The avatar with a beard and the text "tall, dark and rugged" (picture taken from a shirt) stand for a free life without anybody have the right to make a decission if you have to shave, wear a skirt or what else.

  Well "crazy - flickering - light" I gave you a thumbs up, because your name is like the " Sex Pistols " " The Grateful Dead " it scares people. Much like the name " Jehovers Witnesses" which is why when we knocked on doors we introduced ourselves as " bible students" ...pathetic, wasn't it, but thought provoking ? Introducing ourselves as " Jehovers Witnesses" was not encouraged, and I wonder why :-) ?

  Maybe our message was more destructive than " The Sex Pistols" and " The Grateful Dead" that's irony, if you think about it.

  The idea of elders being like mill stones around peoples necks was in my head at the time I joined.

  I also like the idea of how a mill grinds things down to the essential and valuable part.

  I am in the process of doing that with my spiritual beliefs.

  My favorite cat ever!!!

  Couldn't care less about what goes on around him, just feed me my fat ass and leave me alone to relax.😎

  Same attitude I have about the Org.

  Thanks Rebel. It's taken from an danish film. I like the black humor of scandinavian films. Also this name fit very good to the overlapping and all this stuff.
  

  But do you like a really scary story? We got a CO that push the dubs to say that we from the bOrg. Something like: "Good morning, we from the local cong of Jehober Witches and want to suck you into a cult!"

  Every door is like hell, when the dub you preaching with, start like this.

  The album cover of Supertramp's Crime of the Century depicts how my mind was held captive by the cult. It's a crime for anyone to be captive when there's a limitless universe to learn from other than religion.
