Be honest, Londo, did you ever feel comfortable with the idea that Jehovah would off billions of people on a technicality? I sure didn't. I would often ponder and lament about people, not famous and famous that I liked so much and didn't think deserved such a fate. I used to think, "Wow, this new system thing would be so much better served if billions didn't need to be offed. But rather Jehovah just stepped in and said, 'Okay, enough already you earthlings. Now it's time to straighten this mess out. Looka here, I'm in charge from now on. We're gonna fix all the stuff you messed up and get things going right. While I'm at it, I'm going to fix all of you, too. I'm the high anti-oxidant god. I'm going to stop those free radicals in their tracks and make sure you have all the right neurotransmitters and stuff.' "

Complete deja vu. Wow.
FHN, you yet again manage to contribute nothing while desperately trying to fine a way to feel superior to everyone.
Well, you of mediocre perceptive powers, couldn't be further off on this assessment, Viv.
That was a genuine deja vu. I've seen nearly those exact same comments, on a different thread, between Cailber and Jgnat before. I'm being way serious here. I had to do a double take.
Just to kind of make an effort to clear this up for your relatively newbie self, Caliber and I go way back and we know each other off the board. My comment was for him. Do think you think it even slightly possible that you are taking yourself and this thread too seriously? Like you've uttered over and over again, ad nauseum, this thread isn't about you.
I'm going to be honest here: I don't find you inferior. I do however find you a good bit prissy.

There is good in the world and bad in the world. There is good in people and there is bad in people. There is good in government and bad in government. There is good in religion and there is bad in religion.
Sociopathic behavior in religion, politics and government happens right along with good, alutruistic behaviors. I see a lot of good and a lot of bad.
It's a good, even essential life skill to be able to sort out the sociopaths and their machinations, from the good, positive people and their efforts to contribute good things to us as individuals and to society and nature.

Why does it seem that some see emotion as an enemy? - caliber

Just because I don't use emotion to clinically review an unknown subject does not make emotion the enemy. Emotions can be very useful. Not so useful to rocket scientists or nuclear plant engineers. jgnat

For those who feel that their life has been stolen
by stillin inyou maintained a level of personal decency and integrity that you almost certainly would not have had if you had chosen another direction.. sure, you would have had some very "colorful" friends and experiences if you had gone another way, but you still chose the more "edgy" people in the congregation as your friends and you still enjoyed yourself, even if there were a lot of phony constraints.. you looked for ways to be of value to others.
don't stop doing that!.
you kept the darker side of your personality in check.

Our lives were commandeered, our choices affected to the point that many of us stand in ruins, trying to put our lives back together and on a better course.

Sociopaths are masters are presenting themselves as heroes with high morals and philosophy, yet underneath it they are the true criminal minds in society who steal, undermine, deceive, and often incite emotional chaos among entire communities. They are masters at turning one group of people against another group while proclaiming themselves to be the one true savior. Wherever they go, they create strife, argument and hatred, yet they utterly fail to see their own role in creating it. They are delusional at so many levels that their brains defy logical reasoning.

Carl Rove, Dick Cheney, Fox News. Excellent examples.

The great poet Maya Angelou passes
by designs inher life embodied how the human spirit can rise from crushing conditions to mentor, role model and teacher.. she went mute for 5 years after being raped at the age of 9. in that time she found her inner spirit to write and speak for others.. her life course went from working in brothels to teaching in universites.
from broken home to addressing the nation at william clinton's inaugeration.. her poems touched millions of lives.
i know why the caged bird sings; on the pulse of morning; a brave and startling truth:.

Hey there, I apologize for getting your intentions wrong. You love each other and that will help more than anything. Kids who have parents who are in agreement about religion and who've never cheated, still at times resent their parents. It's normal. I hope that as your husband sees the state of the organization and how dark and negative it is, he'll add things up and at least lose his fire for the JWs enough to become inactive again.
