  I will look into "The Selfish Gene." It sounds like a good read to help explain the new territory I'm exploring. Thanks for the recommendation.

  Cofty, but what makes them successful? Why do they exist and have a seeming mission to survive.

  Real, authentic wonderings.

  The more I learn about Prince Rogers Nelson, the more I wonder about the definition of eccentric.

  From there, if you are wealthy, your mental health is treated much differently from the average Joe.

  Ain't it all a blip?

  Prince Protoge Vanity dies at 57

  i had never heard of this woman, but given prince's jw connection and this person's identification as an evangelist, is there a jw connection that anyone knows about?.

  RIP

  Can't imagine her sufferings after the overdose.

  Hope that she found peace before leaving this life.

  1974 Special Meetings

  by NeonMadman in

  as we all know, armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. at the district conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of september; one would be for interested people (e.g., bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.

  ), and the other would be for baptized publishers.

  these were to be held in place of the service meetings for the two weeks, iirc.

  The shell game. Too bad we invested our lives in this.

  No. I think Jehovah is a mass-created tulpa.

  Assemblies - Before and After Waking Up

  happy friday to all!.

  i haven't been to a meeting for maybe 10 years.

  i only know what's happening nowadays from the experiences i read here or the internet in general.. anyway, on to the topic: i started attending meetings at the age of 7. as a kid, the only thing i looked forward to at the assemblies (circuit/district) was walking around veteran's stadium (philadelphia district convention) during intermission, hanging with friends, looking at girls (as i got a little older) and trying to have enough tickets to get pizza!.

  Early on I got plucked in the head for sleeping. So that was out.

  I was an avid reader and creative and loved to doodle and draw. Better when the MBoBS book came out and I just sat in the chair and read the stories.

  How any pre-teen could even comprehend what the speaker was going on about was beyond me. Keywords stuck, but I just ate candy and waited for the songs and intermission at our assemblies when I could eat food on trays and volunteer and feel useful for a change. Better when I became a teen and started romances.
