  News from Wooville

  had a nice long conversation with my "spiritual" neighbor, a little old lady who believes everything she hears.

  she was telling me about emotional healing which you do with a chart that tells you what your emotions mean and how to heal them.

  it wasn't very clear, i still don't understand what the treatment part of it is, and she couldn't explain it.

  I blame Deepak Chopra. He just uses the word quantum a lot and people think he's a scientist, but he's just waffling on about a bunch of twaddle. I swear, if I could think of something I could preach with a straight face I would start my own new age movement.

  we and our unbaptised children have now been cut off by our last jw family members.

  cowardly email at the bottom and my response just below.

  sorry it's rambling and probably not the best thing to send, but we are upset and angry.

  Yeah, I got one of those letters once, from someone who had been my closest friend. Screw them. Once you are no longer blinded by the wtbts you realize the enormity of rejecting close friends and relatives because they don't believe in an invisible skydaddy, or because they have changed their mind about the religion.

  I know you are sad and angry, but you will feel better soon. I'm so glad your wife and kids are safe from that org.

  Had a nice long conversation with my "spiritual" neighbor, a little old lady who believes everything she hears. She was telling me about emotional healing which you do with a chart that tells you what your emotions mean and how to heal them. It wasn't very clear, I still don't understand what the treatment part of it is, and she couldn't explain it. But it's wonderful stuff and really works. It's called the Emotion Code, http://www.drbradleynelson.com/

  Then she said that another neighbor "does it with dna." I asked what that meant, what does he do with DNA and how? So she told me that DNA has the blueprints for a perfect body/mind/soul but it is all filled up with junk because of the way we live, and you have to cleanse the DNA by meditation, supplements, that sort of thing.

  So I gave a little discourse on DNA, as much as I understand of it, including the idea that there is a lot of junk code in DNA, but that is from mutations that turn out to be useless, but are passed down through generations anyway. She said, "yes dear, it's all full of junk and you have to clear your DNA and then you can be perfect!"

  I did some research and I found this article which is evidently what she was talking about: http://www.homeovitalitycentre.com/ndtp/

  Living here in this northern California holy land, I am amazed all the time at the new and strange ideas people have about the world and how it works. It seems to me they just learn new vocabulary and run with it, not bothering to do a little investigation about what it really means.

  I tell you what: I need to start a new age movement of some sort. There's money in it! I wonder if people would go for the idea of having their Tarot cards read by an atheist who want to make some cash, just a little bit of cash without much work.

  Breyers is not allowed to call it's product "ice cream" anymore by the FDA!

  many other so called ice cream at grocery stores as well.

  have you noticed how it seems to be different than from a couple years ago?

  that it doesn't melt, it just warms up and becomes like a whipped cream texture?

  Lisa Rose -- I'm with you on Nutella. I hate that ad on television that claims Nutella on toast is a "healthy" breakfast. It's high in unhealthy fats -- let's make kids even fatter than they are now, eh?

  As for ice cream, I'm with you all on that, too. I'd rather eat a little bit of expensive real ice cream than lots of the chemical stuff. Fortunately, if you really like ice cream, it's not hard to make at home.

  Do you smile and wink at him when he glares at you? Do you tell him how much you appreciate his rapt attention when you are on the stage, because it means he has your back? Do you thank him for setting that wonderful example?

  I like to screw their minds.

  TTATT family blow out

  by redvip2000 in

  for those of you who have a minute to read this, here is a report from my family trip.. i was in florida for the holidays visiting my older sister and family, along with my parents which were also visiting.. although i've had conversations with my mother about the organization, my sister and her family had no idea of my position in regards to the (un)truth - perhaps because we live far away from each other.

  i knew the day was coming.... on my second day there, the whole family was sitting around bs-ing about different stuff, and as usual my mother starts with the "world is getting worse by the day" conversation, followed by approving nods and smart remarks from the rest of the family.

  i then politely told them that this was not true, that in fact the world has never been better.

  abusers play the victim sometimes. I think the mother's response was a bit of self-justification, blaming everyone but herself for the consequences of following those evil old men in Brooklyn

  Your mother stalked you on JWN? Yeah, uncomfortable. You're acting like a grown-up, though, which is a good thing.
