When the WT came out I asked the elders about it. They came to my place and basically said there has been no change and if you keep saying there has been you will be charged with apostacy! When they left, I opened the JW CD and researched "generation". The scales literally fell off my eyes and I never went into a KH again. My wife of the time lasted a meeting or two and stopped as well. I had a chuckle when I saw on this site yrs later that the WTS did a two page kind of apology. Idiots!

The Small Quiet Voice
by Satanus indo you hear it?

i'm talking about that little niggling thing, on the side.

The small quiet voice has come to me numerous times. Once while caught in a whirlpool in the Ganges river I accepted my fate and thought how ironic, dying in the Mother Ganga. A calm inner and very rational voice said "Your children will never know what happened to you as the Indian police won't retrieve your body from the river." This bit of common sense gave me the adrenelin rush I needed to swim back to the surface and out of the vortex. When I finally drifted back to the bank a female voice, again very calm and rational said "When are you going to stop jumping in and considering the consequences later?" This of course went far deeper than my swimming preference and took years to fully apply. Very soon after this, Jung's teachings came to me and I started to understand.....

Agree with Satanus. While I don't believe in demons, I respect the comments of those who may (or simply don't read the thread). I don't need to ask for evidence of something I don't believe. That just debate and of course on this site, on this subject it soon attracts the atheist massdebaters.

Controversial essay- cull 20% of the poor.
by fulltimestudent ina controversial essay is part of aussie news today.. the essence of it is that the state needs to kill about 20% of the poorest in the community, to fix its financial problems.
it is, of course, claimed to be 'tongue-in-cheek,' but is there a sound basis to the concept?
i sound very right-wing in saying that, but i live opposite a boarding house that is full of people who, i guess, would be prime candidates for the cull.

Clearly the article is "tongue in cheek" but what many fail to understand is that economically we need the poor. Imagine the inflation if all were millionaires. Unsustainable. Also who are the market for business to sell to? We all pay goods and services taxes, rich and poor (VAT, GST) and we all contribute to money flushing through the economic system. Low wage earners are the backbone of economics and polititions know this, so never seriously take on wage inequity, the unemployed or others on welfare etc.

Interesting stuff. I flicked through the video as there is nothing as boring as listening to someone talk about their individual dreams! LOL! In my opinion, there are many forms of dreams as noted in the article. Some are big as in life changing, others are just expressing emotions that may not be socially acceptable to express in public. I taught my self to control the outcome of dreams because I wanted to remove the morbid fear associated with nightmares (now called lucid dreaming). I cannot remember the last time I had a nightmare. At this point I believe that dreams are created via naturally occuring DMT and its purpose is to help us understand and improve the human condition.

Is 'evil' an invention of man??
by Monsieur inrecently i read some essays on animal behavorial patterns and i must say i'm shocked at how little difference (when you honestly consider it) there is between said animals and us, human beings.. this is a very new concept for me personally but here is my take on it (i'm sure its not so new, ex.
evolution) - what if humans in fact are mimicking animals, and not the other way around as we'd like to think.. displays of love and affection, clinginess, mourning etc, they all exist in the animal kingdom, but how are we so different?
a pack of wolves attack and kill a caribou for dinner and its considered nature, the same wolves hunt down a lost man in the woods and now its considered 'evil', and if there are any forest rangers around its guaranteed that they will shoot these wolves.. man's heartless treatment of man is considered 'evil', but if evolution is of any indication (in terms of survival of the fittest) is the 'term' evil just a word to appease our so called conscious?.

When evolution brought us self awareness we started to understand our limited life span bringing a feeling of futility. Why so short? Why not forever? Also it brought us fear of being alone and of death. Recipe for creating gods.
