I just had dinner at a japanese restaurant not far from here and we looked in awe at the cracks all over the walls and disconnected ceiling! Business still going on. In the taxi home, we saw the Carefour shopping centre which was closed and had major structural damage. I am still amazed that the Western media didn't show more interest...

Cheers exwhyzee, yeah where I'm staying we are about 10 metres above sea level (thanks to iphone app) and about 1 mile from the sea, so keeping a keen ear and eye. One good thing is the birds are back and singing. It was silent yesterday.....

Thanks for comments guys. I managed to ease the fear with numerous beers! LOL! Even though the experts tell you to go under a table, there is an uncontrollable urge to get out. Yes there are numerous volcanoes here, one was active 10 odd years ago and there was a massive eruption in the early sixties. We were more worried about tsunamies though, as Bali face the same "rim" as the 2004 disaster.

I am currently in Bali and was having a massage this morning. Suddenly a massive rumble and the sound of thunder. The massage lady screamed and ran for the door. I jumped and ran. From outside she yells, "Sir Sir, sarong sarong!! Yep I grabbed one but wasn't too worried about being naked at that moment... Then a second hit. Damage and injury. 4 hrs later, I am talking to my daughter on the phone making jokes about earthquakes and another hit. The phone connection cut and the earth moved sideways.... The locals are more nervous than the tourists. I have made an exit plan and am sleeping with the door open tonight.

What is truth?
by mankkeli inand i dont want to see the dictionary definition of the word, as the word is merely a label, and the definition is merely a description of the word.. .
i want to discuss the concept of truth, as there is alot hiding behind the mere label.. .
to start off with, is truth merely when we come to agreement, and stop questioning?

IMO
Truth is related to our ego. What I believed as true (and important) as a young man, no longer applies and this process continues. If all my "truth" was taken away at once, I would be in danger of losing my ego state and my version of reality. This came close a decade ago, so I went back to physical reality as true e.g. I step off that cliff I die. I don't eat or drink I die and worked from there. Most truth is relative to the situation and our personal needs.

I just can't do this anymore
by Awen indear friends:.
for years now after my exit from the wtbts i have searched for god.
as i have previously mentioned in other threads i looked into many other religions, including druidry, zen and tibetan buddhism (not really a religion), asatru, native american shamanism, kemetic orthodoxy, gnosticism and pandeism.

A well considered and written opinion Awen
In my search, I have come to believe that if all people were personally responsible for their thoughts, actions and feelings, their would be no need for the symbolic "parents" that have been conceived by our subconscious to keep us surviving as a species. The great freedom of realising there are no gods comes with the great responsibility that we are the creators of our reality....

Interesting that my niece linked the article on to Facebook and each time I commented, the comments disappeared....Either a nerdy jw was playing censor, or those conspiracy theories about the org trawling Facebook may be true. It was definitely a hack, as some of the comments were finally left but the way it was done was to make my comments look loony.

"i've got a funny feeling about this place! think it might be demon posscessed!"
by highdose indid you ever encounter jw's who claimed to be able to "sense" when somthing "dodgy" read demon posscessed was in the room?.
i've got several jw relatives who reckon that jehovah protects them by allowing them to sense this... "i always had a funny feeling about that lump of coral!".
iteams they have thrown out ( and in one case also run over several times with a bicycle just in case there was any residual demons left in it) are :.

Finallysomepride. Yes he does look familiar as I reckon he is the spitting image of one of the jw drawings of jesus...
I watched all of the videos and was fascinated to see his mixing of jw teaching styles and New Age fluff. Got a giggle out of blaming the demons for poor behaviour and also that he had two "Mary Magdelanes" previous to the current one LOL! Where do I sign up !!
