  The only new bits of info for me were a UFO report from 2000 and seeing what Peter Davenport looks like (I've heard him a few times on the radio program Strange Days). At least the voices of skeptical inquiry were given a fair shake. If it was a FOX production it would have been more entertaining.

  I'm not very convinced by eyewitness reports alone. I remember as a preteen reading about this footage showing shiny reflecting objects which scientists identified as birds. I thought to myself, ohhh pleassse like what moron could mix up metallic objects with birds. Stretching it aren't they in trying to debunk it?Well it was almost a decade later but I ended up being one of those morons. It was a small flock of seagulls performing the coolest maneuvers and loops about each other. The sun was reflecting off of them and only when I got a few meters closer did the illusion become clear.

  Tough day -- my mom died today

  poor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.

  the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.

  last weekend she actually looked a little better.

  Thank you PP for that post. There's so much extra cannonical material I'm unfamiliar with, but these kinds of comparisons are great because I get both a better grasp of the overall genre and some specifics.

  I feel for you and I don't doubt your motives at all. I've felt like a hyprocrite just doing alot of small parts in the TMS like talks #1 and 4 and the highlights. Even then I tried to push some small outside source on things - and later got questioned on them. But I couldn't imagine having to conduct!

  Hope this tip will work for you. Sure its a little embarrasing but know how to work the systema dn the system wil work for you. Even though I was made an MS, I've never been made an elder because of my obviously mediocre (even by dub standards) effort at assignments. They gave me a part in the KM ONCE...it was so flat and boring and mechanical that I was never given one of those parts again. They mostly used me for paper work for the secretary, mags, accounts from there on in with occasional announcements and bible highlights. If you keep up the lame @$$ approach I'm pretty sure the BOE will be relieved if you tell them you want to step down.

  Take care and keep sane.

  The Literature Counter

  by the_classicist in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at your congregation did it ever seem that the literature counter had nothing in stock except for a lot of the basics (armageddon revelation book, evolution book, brochures, cheap nwts, and what's being studied).

  what made me think of this was someone saying posting about how the elders wait until the last minute to hand out the kms.

  do you think they do the same kind of thing with the literature?.

  Thats similar to how the literature counter is being run now at the KH I'm on record with. The servants from the 3 congregations there all coordinate through the literature overseer of the title holding cong. and place one order. They even share the same shelves. While they all keep their own records of publishers' requests, only the servant from the title holding cong does the inventory (of so many given out, still on hand per month etc.). I thankfully never was the literature servant, I got the easier job of the magazines.

  Is pantheism a form of omnipresence?

  Given the findings of quantum theory, I wonder whether or not the underlying energy of which our universe(s) is constructed is inately "intelligent", and at least having a laugh at our expense

  LT

  Have you read some of Teilhard De Chardin's writings? I think you may find his comparable ideas interesting. While he is talking about an overall evolution from consciousless matter to the more complex and conscious (eventually reaching God/ the Omega Point), if I understand him correctly he says that from the beginning that matter implicitly has the spiritual/God/psychic and the whole process is just about making it explicit.

  DD

  Are christians as part of Christ's metaphysical body part of God? A limited pantheism of sorts?

  Edit: - In Vinnie Barbarino's voice " Limited pantheism? I'm so confused!!!"

  I'm with Xena.

  If there's nothing beyond the universe/multiverse, so that it is "all", then pantheism and omnipresence would be the same right?

  But if Pantheism has boundaries, and If God doesn't, then pantheism is like an Omnipresence Lite.
