54My Spiritual Awakening has turned to........
by AK - Jeff ingeneral apathy about religion.. i don't know precisely when it happened.
but at some point i began to stop needing anything 'organized' in my life religiously.
not too long ago - as attested to by multiple threads i started here - i was still wishing to replace the ritual of religion at the kingdom hall with some other church.

WT Selling Up
by heretic inso maybe this has been covered but why would the wts sell the properties for approx.
the same amount as the settlement?.
are they selling the properties to appear cash-poor.

I was under the impression the total amount of the settlement is not publicly known.

Man's search for meaning
by ithinkisee ina book that i cannot recommend enough.
one of the more balanced views of life from someone who was stripped down to his very existence as a prisoner in the nazi concentration camps.
the book is short - half the book is dedicated to covering his actual experience in the camps.

One of the great texts of modern existentialism. We make our own meaning.

2001: A Space Odyssey
The scene in Act I where our common ancestor discovers a bone can be used as a tool to kill represents the dawn of mankind. The tool is almost immediately used to kill others of its kind. Fast-forward to today, conflict resolution hasn't changed much.
I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I get a knot of excitement in my stomach when I watch the 'bone smashing' scene. Watching our common ancestors become tool users coupled with the elegant and bombastic Thus Spoke Zarathustra gets me every time.
That scene connects me to what it means to be human. -

I took this myself at Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast. Applied a paintbrush effect in Photoshop to hide the people on the beach. I like the result.

R.F. I'm not surprised to read that. There is no reasonableness, only right and wrong, no matter the situation. Life isn't so black and white.

R.F. your story sounds very familiar. When I started to slow down due to my wife being suicidal I was told to pick up the slack. I missed one month of field service to be home with my wife, make sure she didn't kill herself. I was told to 'never do that again'.
I'm not angry at those people, they are deluded. However, I realized I needed to get out.
