They have good reason to be afraid, spiderman after all has pagan origins. He was a lesser known egyptian god who was half-spider and half-man. As we know anything half-animal half-man is from a pagan religion, unless of course you are half-dove half-man, then you are an angel and that is perfectly normal.

Masters of War
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead -

Parabola
We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here inThis body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.Alive, I
In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion. -

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.Spiral out. Keep going, going...

How did the jws react to you?
Mostly they reacted like normal people. They ones I hadn't seen in year acted like they hadn't seen me in a year. The ones that hadn't seen me in a decade acted like they hadn't seen me in a decade.
could they tell you were a little different then them?
I don't know if they could tell or not or simply chose to ignore it. Not everyone closes their eyes the entire time while praying and I saw some people notice I did not bow my head or close my eyes. The way I changed the subject all the time, the way I left the room as soon as things turned 'theocratic' and the way I looked at them like an adult looks at a child talking about santa claus when they spoke about the wonders of jehover.
I didn't feel the need or urge to confront them about their nonsense belief system, so we could all be civil to each other. I respect their right to live in a fantasy world and they seemed to respect my right to (what must seem like to them) live a life destined for non-eternal life or whatever they think. I could have easily stood on a soap box and spouted the evils of the organization, but they don't want to hear it, much like I don't want to hear their preachy drivel. We stuck a balance and everyone had a good time. I hope all interactions with family and witnesses go this way in the future.

by shamus inhey all... are there any mountain bikers out there???

I have a K2 and just repaired a bent derailer hanger, after one of my spectacular crashes. My bike is only 4 months old but has a few hundred miles on it already and it beat up pretty good. It seems to take the beating pretty well.
My roommate has a Trek which he likes and beats on and it is hanging in after a year of beatings.
We ride single track usually between 5-15 miles per ride 2-3 times a week. We are a bit fearless I guess and nearly like wrecking, so these bikes can trashed regularly and like it. I would recommend either.
If you are ever in the bay area send me a PM.

I had found out about the UN connection, and wrote a letter to the Society. About 3 weeks later I got the standard reply. Then I fired off another letter asking them a few questions... mainly about my research about the Library's use, and they didn't have to be an NGO. It wasn't an attacking letter, and I was in full standing in the cong.
3 weeks after I sent THAT letter, I was called for a jc. Crazy huh?!?!?
LOL and the moral of the story is - DONT ASK QUESTIONS or we will kick you out.
I am glad you are one of us now, Tashawaa

Glad to hear you survived SD. How was the wedding talk? Nauseating?
OMG. I wanted to yell at the top of my lungs "What a load of bullshit!" through most of the talk. It was soooo laced with indoctrination how the man was a piece of rope, and the women was a peice of rope and twined together they made a stronger rope, but when jehover was a steel cord twined within as well... i almost vomited. It was jehover this and jehover that and I wondered who was getting married. Is jehover getting married today, why is he so much in this wedding? The witnesses seem unaware of the blatant indoctrination they are surrounded by, but as an outsidere I was appauled. I mean witness is such a bad term for them, they are so unaware they wouldn't even notice let alone witness armageddom unless someone told them it happened, oh wait, it did happen in 1914, kinda, but then......
I digress, fortunately my sister and her new husband (who is a good guy btw) were very into each other despite the looney sounding cermony. I should have counted how many times they said jehovah, I can guarentee it was said more then the groom and brides names combined and doubled.
One thing I had the pleasure to do or not do was acknowledge their constant praying and give any credit to their nonsensical rantings. Everytime someone prayed, everyone as you know bowed their heads and closed their eyes. Not me, I keep my head up the entire time and looked around or whatever. I figured to me now, it was the equivalent of how they view saluting the flag. I would not disrepect it by try to talk to someone, just as they would not sing kindom songs during the national anthem, but I would simply observe it and not participate in it one bit. It felt good to look on the whole proceding with new eyes, at meals and at the wedding. Once or twice I did close my eyes, but only because I got bored with the long-windedness of the prayer and did some meditation. Overall, it was a great feeling to not even feel compeled to bow my head for such rubbish.

Ok more stories from New York.
It is 2 nights before the wedding, so my sister, her fiance, groomsmen and myself go down to the a local bar to continue the drinking away from parents since we are smashed anyway. We walk in and it is kinda full, while looking around for a place to sit I feel a large hand on my shoulder and I turn around.
A familiar face says to me, - "Excuse me are you Paully?", I nod and smile, "Yes John! nice to see you!" he stops me to say "I don't know if you still are, but I should be fair and warn you that I am disfellowshipped." I smile wider and say "Congratulations!", he puts his head down a bit and says, "I don't know about that." I go on to tell him I am truly glad to hear he is out of the sick and twisted organization and that it is really a cult. About this time my sister and company walk over to tell me they will be waiting outside in the car, I say ok and I will meet up with them in a bit.
He starts talking about my father, whom he grew up with and was close too, it seems some issues happened shortly before he was DF'd between himself and my father and he was upset because he would never get a chance to talk to my father about it. He was nearly in tears. I tried to make him feel alright and told him I would relay what he said to my dad. He then introduced me to his son sitting next to him. The last time I saw his son he was maybe 8, now he was 18 and it is really amazing to see someone jump those formative 10 years in one seeming second. His son was also DF'd now too and was happy to talk to me as well.
It has been about 20 minutes of chatting now and I nearly forget my sister, fiance and groomsmen are waiting outside in the car. And they can't leave without me since I was the lease smashed and driving. I say my goodbyes with a few handshakes and hugs and leave smiling. I return to my sister and enthusisticaly say "Do you know who that was?!", and she gives me that look of dead guilt and says "Yes Paul!" I give a wide grin in return.
Aftwerwords I see my father and tell him who I saw. I tell him his friend thinks well of him, misses him, is sorry he cannot talk to him and wants him to know a few things. My father looks a bit depressed and sits down with a gallon of wine. I can only hope my father will lose his cultic persona and do what is right. Talk to his lifelong friend.
