one of the most freeing things i've been able to do since fading from the watchtower's tendril like grasp is, "read what i want to" i particularly enjoy historial novels because they entertain and inform all at the same time.
i'm just finishing the first of a trilogy "fall of giants" and there was a paragraph that made me think of the great influence of propaganda machines (probably because i was so influenced by the watchtower) i am hugely aware of it's power to lead people all over the place like the waves of the sea i suppose.. here is the paragraph:.
maud knew the proprietor of the mail, lord northcliffe.
I think the human condition and motivation is the same as has always been and will continue. However, the internet provides a type of "check and balance" for everybody. There still is a lot of BS on the internet, but somewhere in the massive amount of information is a bit of truth. Then I guess it lies on the reader to determine what is stupid and ignorant. That fight is as emotional and violent as ever.
I guess it will always be this way until the "paradise" comes.

(hmmmm...you'll have to remind me I quit!)
Miles Davis "Sketches of Spain" is beautiful from around the same time also.
My brother and sister are much older than me and they both introduced me to their music as young adults. My brother fancied himself a bit of a "beatnik" and so I was listening and discussing jazz with him from very early on.
So many jazz musicians led troubled lives. Dave Brubeck managed to avoid the dark side and live a quite wonderful life. He was a gift.
so the fds does not include the apostles.

council overturns zoning ruling for jehovah's witnesses kingdom hall on indy's northwestside .
the city-county council on monday night overturned a zoning decision that would have allowed construction of a jehovahs witnesses kingdom hall in a northwestside neighborhood.. in a rare move, council member jose evans, a democrat who represents district 1, had called for a full hearing on a land rezoning case that the metropolitan development commission previously approved.
those decisions usually are upheld by the council without discussion.. but plans for construction of a 6,000-square-foot church building for three jehovahs witnesses congregations at 8851 colby blvd.
The RBC and the WBTS at work to extract funds out of the sheeple for no good reason. Those halls are plenty nice and have been remodeled all along.
POS religion.

hi everyone, i'm new to this forum, and somewhat new to being out of the org [in recovery mode at present], and i'm looking to meet some fellow ex-jw's in person.
now that i'm "out" making new friends has proven to be a bit tricky since i'm a tad socially stunted due to my past.
btw i'm a guy in my late 20's..
Bumpity bump bump
