The neighborhood is called Kensington. It's part of San Diego. I used to live a few blocks from Beth Sarim. It's a nice neighborhood, wouldn't mind visiting there again. Loads of used book stores, antique stores, good Mexican restaurants, good Korean restaurant, good Italian restaurant when I lived there.

A Mansion for the Resurrected, in Kensington
by dynamiterose77 ini was roving around the internet looking for articles about a completely different topic, when i came across this one.. i found it very interesting.. here's a quote.. "in a 1920 book called "millions now living will never die" he'd predicted that biblical leaders like abraham, isaac and jacob would be resurrected in 1925 and become "the visible, legal representatives of the new order of things on earth.".
while this didn't occur, rutherford still chose to be prepared for the return of the patriarchs.
he moved into the newly built house in kensington around 1930, calling it beth sarim (house of the princes).

I am sure there are more animals out there to be discovered, but it seems to me all the recent discoveries are of small critters. I don't see how something that large could escape detection very well. So, I doubt there's really any yeti or sasquatch. But who knows? I think it's more likely that there may be large unknown creatures in the ocean, since the earth's oceans are so huge.

Had a long conversation with one of our local Mount Shasta denizens about Sasquatch. He says he has heard Sasquatch, but hasn't seen one. Says there is a law in Oregon against shooting Sasquatch, $500 fine and a year in jail. I asked if he thinks Sasquatch is a big ape, a relative of humans. He said no, and he doesn't think it's some kind of large bear, either. So I asked him why they don't seem to have found any dead Sasquatch bodies anywhere and he asked me when was the last time I saw any animal body in the forest. Fair point. The wild animals clean things up pretty well in the woods.
I asked what he thinks Sasquatch really is. He said it's a projection into our space/time from another dimension. What we see (except no one has really seen Sasquatch!) is just a three-dimensional representation of a multi-dimensional being.
I said the law in Oregon is interesting, but if someone shot Sasquatch he/she'd be really rich and famous in spite of a year in the pokey. He said that person would be infamous, an entirely different thing. I mentioned that the local Indian tribe, a hundred years or so ago, had a word for short little people they claimed lived on Mt. Shasta. I can't remember what the word was right now. I said I wondered what they meant, did it refer to some sort of animal like a raccoon, or did they really see some little race of people. This guy reads a lot, I thought he might have come across some interesting story, a bit of local lore, but suddenly it was all about Lemurians and Telos.
These conversations leave me dizzy, sometimes. This little guy, who looks incredibly like Humpty-Dumpty, seems to be carrying on an intelligent conversation and making an interesting point or two, then suddenly we're in outer space.

Be sure to get a clear understanding of their expectations, how much work and specficially what duties in return for rent. The clearer your agreement with them, the more likely it will turn out to be a dream deal.

Do you have a newfound thirst for self-expression after leaving the religion?
by Apognophos ini'm not even out yet and sometimes i feel like expressing my opinions loudly, wearing t-shirts with messages on them (gasp!
), and getting up in people's faces when they annoy me.
sometimes the thought of a fistfight sounds appealing.

I did lots of stuff "just because I could" when I first left the wtbts. Self-expression feels great, it was a wonderful experience to simply speak my mind whenever I wanted to. I toned it down after a while, but still said what I want to say whenever necessary.
