Anyone remember the CO/DO who looked like Bob Hawke? One of the most relaxed and friendly jw chiefs. I recall that his father was intentionally run over and killed while going d to d.

evolution could tell us how to stop aging almost completely.

I did Yum Cha with a very wealthy Chinese jw (in HK) who very kindly explained tea in Chinese culture. He said there were approx 300 different teas, all with medicinal properties. As we ate we were continuously given Jasmine tea. Actually you have to tap the top of your teapot when it is empty, as it is too noisey to get the attention of the wait staff! He told me the reason for this particular tea. It aids in digestion but most importantly, assists in getting rid of fats, so if a dish was a little greasy, I drank the tea. Yes it worked very well and very quickly.

Nice to see S(atanus) about again...
For a few Rupees I got to hear a raga played by four gurus of their particular instrument (including a classical male dancer). Sitting in the evening heat of a Dharamsala summer, actually on a flat roof of someone's home, with a few mats, cushions and candles to set the scene, I (and about 6 others) was priviliged to see and hear some of the greatest musicians in India. They were all from Varanasi (Benares) which is the centre of classical music in India. No drugs required, I lost a few hours in a meditative state and yes I got a glimpse of the oneness of humans, in fact all material things. Spiritual? I don't know. Many scientists I imagine would feel the same awe and respect for the Universe.
My current saying to all people's opinions and beliefs is...
It's possible

I spent time in Hong Kong and Sri Lanka, both renowned for tea(s). I drink Dilmah brand which is a single origin from southern SL. I caught a train past their area and made sure I got in the rear carriage which was mostly plexyglass to see the plantation. Yes they pick their tea by hand same as they have ever done since the British brought tea to their shores. Should have taken photos...

Great Music
by Berengaria init appears that many of the best music threads have been purged.
i can't imagine the formula that would eliminate such wonderousness while preserving "involuntary muscular contractions", but so it is.. the first offering.

Yeah Tootired the skeletons kinda take the sexiness out of in the moment passion!
Never been a great fan of dubstep, more of a psy trance or dark/minimal techno man myself but those tracks you selected (Knife party) were pretty bouncey and would get me up dancing.

Request stories on JW mental health issues
by optimusprime ini am just curious as to how much of a problem mental illness is among jws.
i would like to hear what others have to say regarding their own experiences in this matter.
specifically, i want to know how these individuals were handled in the congregation and whether or not being a jw contributed to the effects on mental illness.. .

Generally, aside from people with diagnosed mentall illness what I observed were more like personality disorders. Narcsism, obsessive compulsive disorder, paranoia, god complex. There is no doubt that the JW experience creates antisocial people, people with deep distrust of the outside world and all who dwell in it including family. Getting your head around the idea that 99.9% of humans will be destroyed in an agonising way by god...but he loves you, would turn anyone's mind.

T-Shirts or Signs to Post in Yard about "100 year Anniversary of Christ's Enthronement" ideas?
by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker inone way to bust through the trickerly and mind control used by the watchtower is making people think.
if we can show how the "end times" began in 1874 using numbers from the "walsh trial", is thinking possible?
the numbers and dates used in scottland must have a use to us, using brother russells own words could bring one person to change.

JW 'cart preaching' trend copied from the russellites
by EndofMysteries ini guess the proper food at the right time on new ways for preaching was taken from the russellites.
years ago i remember seeing them in flea markets, etc, w/ their booth set up.
now suddenly the watchtower org is doing the same thing.

Just saw a booth not an hour ago in town. Hidden back off the footpath, chatting amongst themselves. I bought a coffee and watched. Not only did they not speak to anyone, they were invisible to passerbys. People literally stopping and standing in front of them without so much as a glance. Hilarious.
