  It's easy to translate: "We cover our ass."
  I was specifically counseled what I should and should not do and say.
  I was admonished to say I had made up my own mind without any Watchtower influence or Elder influence.
  Translation: I was under compulsion. I was counseled to lie. "Theocratic strategy."
  I was questioned by my local civilian Draft Board, by two Federal F.B.I. agents,
  and by the District Judge who sentenced me to the Youth Correction Act provision of an "indeterminate" sentence from 6 mos to 6 years" depending on the fancy of the prison Parole Board (which met once each six months.)
  I was 20 when I went to jail and I was 23 when I was paroled. (1967-1969)
  Without the strong influence (admonition) of my Overseer and his assistant - I would have taken the Alternate Civilian option of working in a hospital.
  
  According to the above pronouncement by the Watchtower, I am a victim of myself.
  I do not agree :)

  The MEANING of LIFE

  (by Terry Walstrom)

  _____________________

  Ohhhhhhhh….

  Life is for the Fun of it

  Throughout the daily run of it

  Be telling everyone of it in everything you say

  All the cheers or tears you give in every single year you live

  It’s worth a grateful happy hip hooray!
  
  

  All the scholars and the sages who have lived throughout the ages

  Would have thought it quite outrageous if you told them JUST HAVE FUN!
  
  

  Tyrannosaurus Rex had fun in terrorizing everyone

  You bet Jur-ass sick sense of humor having fun was but a rumor

  But it gave a future to the creature feature loved by Boomers …

  Enjoy a chortle! Have a chuckle!

  Everyone who gives a fukkle

  Win the Game of Life enjoying moments in the sun!
  
  

  Well Done, I say.

  You hear me say ‘Hooray”?

  It’s such a happy day for one and all

  So have a smile awhile because

  Having fun’s the Meaning of it all!
  
  

  Birds:

  I suppose the crows I know would surely say that this is so

  With every prank and Hi-jinx we have fun!

  Goofing off and playing tricks - the crows will do it just for kicks

  Be “caws” our sense of humor's sick

  and how we love a pun!

  The meaning of our life is : JUST HAVE FUN!
  
  

  Dogs:

  Life is for the bark of it

  The running through the park of it, we really make a lark of it

  when peeing every tree

  Gnawing every bone of it while squatting for a shit a bit

  You’re right... it might be worth the frickin’ fleas

  Occasionally a bad case of rabies…

  (gaining momentum)

  A Frisbee toss, pat on the head, a hump or too and then we’re dead

  (pause)

  I must admit it …

  It was a heap of FUN!
  
  

  Everybody:

  Life is for the Fun of it

  Throughout the daily run of it

  Be telling everyone of it in everything you say

  All the cheers or tears you give in every single year

  you live

  It’s worth a grateful, happy hip hooray!

  How ridiculous is boredom in a universe of fun?

  Living’s not a chore dumb as our luck can sometimes

  run.
  
  

  Birds:

  Life is for the flap of wings as all the cawing crows can sing

  Atop the trees we plop and poop and pee . . .

  On everyone with such a sense of glee!
  
  

  Heaven:

  Living up here in the sky I often find I ponder “Why”?

  Why is it - every living thing finds misery and strife?

  Longitude to latitude the Earth’s prevailing attitude

  Seems to be no gratitude for all the fun in life!

  There’s the lesson of the day:

  let Fun be one to have its say

  And every night you bend to pray

  please send this message on its way:
  
  

  ANGEL VOICES:

  Well Done, I say.

  You hear me say ‘Hooray”?

  We’re very very thankful, Hip Hooray!
  
  

  Universe:

  Life. is. for. the. Fun. of. it.

  Throughout the daily run of it

  Be telling everyone of it in everything you say

  All the cheers or tears you give in every single year you live

  It’s worth a grateful happy hip hooray!

  All the scholars and the sages who have lived throughout the ages

  Would have thought it quite outrageous if you told them JUST HAVE FUN!
  
  

  Remember every breath we take is just a game of paddy-cake

  A point of view that very few are capable of playing …

  My Friends, I’m only saying :
  
  

  The first and only purpose for each pickerel and porpoise,

  For Chimpanzee, or orangutan, or three-toed sloth:

  You might be the Pharaoh or a dancer just like Jay-Lo,

  Or a Cannibal or creepy Visigoth

  GRATITUDE’S the ATTITUDE it’s not a corny platitude

  Life is Fun, Just have Fun, JUST HAVE FUN!!
  
  

  (Dramatic Whisper)

  LIFE’s a whim or a choice

  To be grim or rejoice

  Be alive, be alert, stay awake!

  Just remember

  every Eden has its snake!

  I used to work as a Bookseller at Half Price Books & Music for 5 years in the Religion & Philosophy sections.
  I shelved that book many times and have read most of it.
  As far as I know, only apologists find fault with Finklestein and his books.
  Tamperers with history have a lot to gain and Israel has paid the price over and over again for their claims.

  As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), there is zero archaeological or paleontological evidence of the
  Jews as Slaves scenario in Egypt.

  For me, speaking only for myself, the most glaring flaw in a genuine GOD as Supreme Being

  (as told in scripture) is his low intellect approach to maintenance.of humans.
  Instead of a direct communication telling everybody EXACTLY what they should know, there is
  way too much reliance on a silly, roundabout, open to re-interpretation game of hide-the-cheese.
  Imagine going to your doctor for medicine or a diagnosis and he examine you and hands you a photo of the Great Pyramid and tells you, "It's in here."
