  life has been busy, but i am now on 2 weeks vacation which allowed me some thinking room.

  and here's what's been on my mind.. we're all going to die.

  no matter what we do, our fate is sealed.

  If our life wasn't so short I think death would be easier to accept. Most of us are so busy with work and other time sinks that we don't truly enjoy life. As I save for retirement I keep imagining what I will do in my retirement. Then I remind myself that my grandmother and grandfather both died at 61. I could spend my entire life working for a point in time and never make it.

  That is why I focus on each day now. I hold my daughter and let her know each day she is loved.

  My two great hopes regarding Geoffrey Jackson's RC testimony

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my greatest hope is that when geoffrey was a youngun' that his momma taught him to 'tell the truth'.. if geoffrey does not tell the truth, my second great hope is that his momma 'wallups him, but good'.. here's hoping he doesn't 'crawfish' on the witness stand.. crawfish :

  a] to cheat, decieve, or otherwise do a person wrong b] go back on what you said previously

  I would imagine the early days of philosophy were founded on answering questions about death. It seems to occupy us when we have free alone time to think. I think it is harder for us that for many decades believed there was a true just world coming. It saddens me as I see my parents aging knowing I may have but a couple decades left with them. I cherish our time more than ever.

  Now I view the world like a nature video. It is both cruel unloving and beautiful at the same time. There are very evil people in this world who will never see justice but there isn't much we can do about it.

  I just focus on my family and a career that gives me happiness.

  Do video games cause bad behaviour in children?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my boy is 10 and has got very interested in pocamon cards.

  ( a game way to complicated for me to understand) but i've also noticed it's linked to a computer game, which seems harmless enough but i also noticed advertisements for more violent games appear.. i would value people's opinion on whether, you think video games cause bad behaviour in kids.

  i should mention my kid says i limit his time on these games, much more than other children's parents, and i was thinking of reevaluating that rule.. thanks.. the rebel..

  I'm sure your son appreciated you being there. I was 8 years old when I gave my first reading. It was easy having my parents there to support me. Glad I don't have to do that anymore.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a youtube uploaded in 2009 that has a talk about the governing body given to jws.. "governing body".

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjm5d9m1lm&index=5&list=pl2vkk1cclbi8xcdxgygijzu9_w6nzx8mt.

  the speaker tells the jws that the gb takes such good responsible care of all of them.. the speaker also speaks of a personal experience with bro.

  "They understand what you are going through...."

  Hmm they work 40+ hours a week? They have bills to pay? Do they worry about medical costs?

  They are pampered and worshiped.

  I will be shocked if he shows up. Again the GB and JW in general look at all others as dirt, well less than dirt. I wouldn't be surprised he is sitting in first class on the way to Bethell

  by poopie in

  2. friends

  now here is my question.

  jw sisters are forbidden to read any elder book any or anything for elder eyes only yet ms appleseed who is considerd an wt expert is a practicing catholic part of babylon the great can read all this info in fact they give it to her.

  this is mind boggling.

  Having Dr. Applewhite as an expert sheds more light on the Watchtowers practices being ineffective and dangerous to those that were molested. If Dr. Applewhite is the best expert they could find speaks volume to me at least that other experts or true experts were not willing to testify on the WT behalf.

  Dr. Applewhite is not an expert in the sexual abuse of children nor in totality of the WT polices and practices. Having the letters Dr. before your name doesn't mean you're an expert.
