  Boundary Changes for Congregations and Secrecy

  by Vienna Angelika in

  right now the congregations in winnipeg are undergoing major boundary changes which will be put in action at the beginning of february.

  our congregation is supposed to find out today but i decided to ask some people i knew who went the previous meeting if we were going to be put together with the people at our old congregation who are shunning me.

  even though they knew, they refused to tell me because "the society" told them not to tell us.

  This happened here about 20 yrs ago or so as I recall, a few years after I left. The cong I went to was dissolved/absorbed into another and some properties were sold, at least the hall I went to was. I drive by it every now and then; it's on a major route. Seems like a lifetime ago.

  CLOUD ATLAS: a movie or a life experience?

  by Terry in

  2. entertainment

  my 19 year old daughter lily and i attended the opening day of cloud atlas.. .

  i would suggest you watch this little "overview" before continuing.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubk647t944a&feature=bfa&list=plvfin74qx3twq2dnqx5f4wlrrr5b-pez7.

  movies can be a lot of things ranging from mindless entertainment, spectacle, diversion, exploitation and such to straight storytelling.. what movies almost never are is what cloud atlas is.. what is it?.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/theory_of_everything_(philosophy).

  in philosophy, a theory of everything or toe is an ultimate, all-encompassing explanation of nature or reality.

  [1][2][3]adopting the term from physics, where the search for a theory of everything is ongoing, philosophers have discussed the viability of the concept and analyzed its properties and implications.

  Remember the poster Littletoe? Maybe he was onto something.

  I remember him. Thoughtful and articulate. He touched many soles...

  Martial Arts?

  by Godsendconspirator in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i have always had a love for martial arts (didn't know how to fight, just admire what the human body can do), but since jdub-land banned it, i just kinda forgot about it.

  i admire nate quarry (an 'apostate' mma fighter) and i have been boxing for a year now.

  i decided to switch over to muay thai.

  A bit of hapkido back in the day. Nothing formal or fancy, mostly joint manipulation/locks, a few throws and pins, basic self defense.

  Tai chi is fascinating though. Should make the time...

  get on the anti gun bandwagon,.

  it is not the middle ages, the rrvolutinary or civil war time- it's now - 2012 and soon to be 2013. america needs to become like canada, now now now.

  you can argue all you want, but if you can't open your eyes, you have some deep dark issues that require a shrink.. i will not answer you or taunt you.

  yea, i live there. rather chilly these days, no?

  There was a meetup.com group here about 8-10 yrs ago; it's how I met a few other xjws initially, Lady Lee and Nosferatu. LL moved down east but has a Best Of section here worth a look. The local meetup group kinda faltered. Not sure if there's another one around.

  headisspinning is from around here but haven't seen much posting from her lately

  Stick around this place; there's a wealth of knowledge and wisdom here going back quite some time. And many posters who can offer some really good advice. Make you think. Change stuff around. Etc.

  BTW, welcome :)

  Does an "all knowing" God have the leisure of choosing not to know something?

  by wannabefree in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this concept just always caused a conflict in my mind.

  i can remove the idea of predestination with knowing something in advance, why would the watch tower insist that god chooses not to know something?

  is that even possible for god?

  You wouldn't think so. A god who isn't omniscient or chooses ignorance really isn't much of a god IMO

  i mean no disrespect to sd-7 or his fine thread on which this picture has already featured, but i think it is just so ridiculous that it deserves a thread all of its own.. lurkers and apologists, this is how your precious organization views itself.... behold the madness.... .
