The text didn't appear when I first viewed it, I thought JD was leading us in a group impromptu poem.
OK, slinking away now...

Do not go gentle into that good night
by Hortensia ini looked this up because i was remembering it wrong.
i thought it was "do not go gentle into that dark night" and "rage against the dying of the moon" for some reason.
that was a little confusing because the moon has a rebirth and i was wondering what the author's point was.

On the eve of my 67th birthday...a little reflection that I just HAD to share with those who know me here on JWD. It's always nice to share the GOOD news in our lives!
Happy Birthday to you!

On the serious side though, the developed world has to start eating less meat.
The picture is hilarious, but as the text shows the science has merit. Feeding farm raised anything to animals is a very inefficient way of feeding humankind. Greenhouse gasses are just one of the concerns scientists are examining.

There can be NOONE who has used their brain LESS... factually.
by New light for you inso.... i'm thinking.
i'm thinking cuz i was at my shrink's today... and i'm cleaning... those 2 things get my brain working and i was thinking..... i am (was) a jw (ex) who is a housewife, "at home mom".
could there possibly be anyone else in the whole friggin world who has ever used their brain less???

even that tribe they found in the amazon
I would suspect they use their brains quite a bit. Just imagine the knowledge of herbology alone that must be committed to memory so it's not lost.
I know that dosen't help...but think about it, no writing and so many skills that are vital to maintain their precarious existence that need to be learned and then passed down to future generations.

I think Larc once said to me here, "Don't complain and don't explain".
There is no need. This is the internet, many sins will be committed and many more forgiven.
Overall this is a very tame bunch.

Do black Americans claim Obama as one of their own?
by digderidoo ini was watching an interview with a black american recently about barrack obama.
interestlingly he said that black americans find it hard to claim him as one of their own.
he said that black people would much prefer to have someone who is from the stereotypical upbringing of a black american to be the presidential candidate.

Not that there is anything wrong with digderidoo's question, but I think sometimes these terms are crammed down our throats and we use them, not because we think one way or another, but almost as knee jerk reactions.

You will never overcome your Witness past...
by JimmyPage in... unless you read apostate views.. you may become inactive, like i did, and find a way to assimilate yourself into the normal world.. but you will always have at your core a view of the world that the witnesses gave you.
their basic teachings will still be your world view.. you will never realize you were indoctrinated by a cult.. for those poisoned by jehovah's witnesses there is only one antidote.. there is only one way to understand your life and progress from there.. the only true cure for jehovah's witnesses is apostasy..

Deprogram is a more accurate term. Most of, if not all of us here are high risk PUI's. So Jimmy's meaning is pretty clear to this crowd.
One has to go beyond the simple act of removing oneself from the WTBTS and all that entails. That is step one, step two is making a conscious effort to begin the deprogramming process. I, like many others began step two here, but there are many other paths available.

Do White Americans claim Obama as one of their own?"
That was similar to my reaction. I don't think of people as black or white or yellow. He's a smart, charismatic man who worked hard to get to where he is...that's what I see when I look at him. If the talking heads just left it at that, wouldn't the race discussion just go away? Or at least not be as pronounced as it is now?
