How much I had to ear that!
"I know that you know very well that's the truth, but you are too lazy and you don't want to make any effort for Jehovah "
this phrase i heard again at the weekend when a diehard dub was discussing his non believing, but much loved son.
"it is just that..... [insert any excuse here].
it is something that they all say about us, yet nothing could be further from the truth.

i have just finished reading 'brock talon's' two books.
in one of them, entitled journey to god's house, pub.
he comments on how the wt's pictures of the post-armageddon world do not agree with their doctrines, namely that those who are physically resurrected will not marry/have children.
it would seem that the post-Armageddon world will be mainly inhabited by a-sexual people....
This is exactly how I always imagine the paradise on earth when I was prepubescent. A place where I can play with lion!
The day I had my first erection, I don't know why, this asexual picture of the the NWOE fall dramatically in my esteem.
This is a so childish view of what happiness is, that, now, I still don't understand how adult people can fall in that!

I noticed that more and more, on a large bunch of subjects! It's quite funny.
Before, they had always a good reason to say "yes" or "no", changes of answers included.
Now, I get the impression that, they even don't bother no more to find arguments, and that they just answer "Maybe, maybe not"
during the long debate on the question of gay marriage, there have been many competing answers to the question of, "how many people are gay?".
a very anti-gay christian minister in sydney, the reverend fred nile, (who is also a member of the state parliament) claims that the percentage is as low as 1%.. some university (u.of new south wales) research in sydney has suggested 5%, but the authors of the study cautioned that there was a problem in the fact that an unknown number of respondents would likely not admit to being gay.. there are other problems in asking the question.
for example, what does being gay mean?
In fact, the rate of gay people is almost the same as the rate of gay dogs.
And the same as the rate of gay cats.
And the same as the rate of gay horses.... etc..

And in this, one more time, lousy allegory, who plays the role of the german team?
Because everybody know the more fundamental rule of football : "Football is a game you play at eleven, and at the end, the germans win"
having endured three days of dashing attempts at further indoctrination, i feel the need to write up some of the stuff i left with.
it is just good therapy.. right away the change was noticeable in the air.
the assembly hall in la feria, tx still smells like new.
Yes It's really fascinating how they spoke so much about doubt. When it's about doubtful person, you have only two choice :
1. Trying to convince them (with proof and arguments) that their doubt are superfluous
2. Trying everything (especially by blaming) to make them feel guilty about the fact they have doubts.
And, no surprisingly, WTBTS'GB choose the second choice. Like usually!
this incident in paris makes me feel absolutely furious.
yes i feel desperately sorry for the victims and their families no one should have to deal with that.
the thing that makes me feel absolutely incandescent though is the attack on freedom of speech and expression.

I won't answer at your posts today, even if it's a lot to say!
I don't have the power, nor the disposition to do so, now. My cries take all my power last night, and i'm without energy now.
Among the drawers who was killed yesterday, one was a friend of mine. I was talking to him last October, at a satiric comics convention. And the anothers was like friends for me, even if I didn't know them personnal, because I live with their work since i'm in age to understand it.
The only things I want to say, it's this terrorists wanted to kill Charlie, but they killed only his body. His spirit is still here and will still be. THEY FAILED
This terrorists wanted to make Charlie shut up, but next week, Charlie will be print in 1 000 000 copy. Usually it was 60 000 copy printed. THEY FAILED
This terrorists wanted to kill the freedom of speech by killing 6 of our more free and sarcastic drawers. More than 200 more already said to be interrested to continue the work. THEY FAILED
French have the reputation to be cowards. This terrorists thought by this act, the french will be scared and will full of fear. French will stand unite against this barbars. THEY FAILED
I will come back later, when my strong sadness to have lost a friend will be gone to answer more.
But be sure of one thing : This terrorists failed totally, and they will always fail!
so after nearly 15 to 19 years of not attending a convention, i can't recall exactly, i went to one last year.
the brother giving the talk was from bethel and was introduced as a helper of the governing body.
it was a title i never heard of before.
He even named the splinter groups that were formed and then caught his mistake and warned those not to google the names he just mentioned
Interresting and strange. At the beginning of my knowing of TTATT, it was a technic I used sometimes when I had a talk. Saying discreetly something it's not really known by the average joe's JW, and after to say like a warning like "but never check about that".
And during some weeks, you can be sure it's some brothers and sisters who come to ask me about this point. It's a basic human psychollogy point : If you ask to someone to never do something, he will be attracted to do it.
If this "GB helper" wanted that more people possible google the names he said, he won't use a more efficient technic.
in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).
house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.
Maxtan :
The Americans
Oh yes! I like this serie a lot too! Very interresting.
In the same vein, I liked a lot Covert affairs and Person of interest.
