karl marx had it right when he said religion is opium (drug) for the people.
think about it, when a person is on drugs they feel wonderful, they would appear happy if you asked them how they feel they would say on top of the world very happy..but the reality is they may have lost their home, bank accounts, family and have nothing tangible to show for there lives.
does this sound familiar?.
GaryBuss don't have a problem with hope or even religion for that matter, what I think is really wrong is enforcement of the hope with social sanctions. In my book, hope quits being hope when it becomes law.
Also - the Org makes Billions$$$ on giving a hope that they never have to deliver ...sounds like a good gig for them

You can make yourself feel happy right now by just changing your mental state with a thought
Example: If I was to say to myself that I will win $20,000,000 SOON, I start to feel happy, I think of all the things I will do with that money, now if I
- Attend 5 meetings a week with others who also feel they will win a lot of money we all feel it is possible
- I think of what I will one day be able to buy with all that money ( cars,homes, dream vacation etc) THE HOPE…some day soon
- I feel happy by just going to these meetings where others too feel they will get their prize SOON, just attending these meetings brings me joy that I feel I have already won the prize
( Do I have anything tangible to feel happy about? No, I don’t have the money, my life style hasn’t changed but I have the hope that SOON I will get my prize so I am happy
Now one day after sometime, I am told by someone that “ you very likely will not every get that prize” ..How would I feel? Perhaps they even show me “proof” Will I accept it?
I am so happy going to these meetings where others have the same hope of mine of getting that big prize…and I have hoped in that for so long that I can taste it
This illustrates well I think why it is so hard to leave “the Hope”

just to let you know blondie i look forward to your wt review every week.
i get excited when i see it posted and cant wait to read.. p.s : cant wait for this weeks .
its true. how is a 1 or 2yr old going to stay still for a 2hour adult corporate sales meeting........you see the parents getting all flustered and the people around them look flustered and then one parent takes the child out and beats them...half an hour later the parent and child return the kid sits there silent not knowing what they did.........before long the child dosent say much or move ,uch anymore...........the "life" of that child has been estinquiched ( cant spell) ......................
this statement was often echeod to me during my formative years.
i remember my very first day of elementary school (stateside) at the age of 4. my parents were flustered because they couldn't believe they actually had to start their only child into public school to begin with; after all, the end was right around the corner!
this was 1984, the year the first apple mac was introduced, 80's music was loud and in your face, the delorean was cool, and miami vice was just in production.
when I was a kid and my parents were studing in the mid 1970's I remember seeing a movie on TV "Omega man" with Charlies Heston (you know the guy who played moses) I remember how scared I was ...hearing armegenden at the meetings, war, etc and watching this movie in my little mind I coundt quite understand everything I heard at the meetings but in my mind I felt scared of things to come...funny how I still remember that today

Hello Everyone
It served the orgnaization very well when "young ones" dont go for higher education..........spending your best years building an organization once you figure it all out you are in to deep and its too late to go back......you are stuck...the society sure gave some bad advise ..I would agree if the system of things only had a few years or even a decade it would be unwise to go for extra education but if it goes on for 10,20,30,40+ years then it only hurts the people.......................it's turns into a self fullfilling prophesy........one gets stuck in a dead end job and then you go to the meeting and they say how bad the world is and how hard it is to make a living and how tired the world makes you and you sit there agreeing.............. but the kids that you went to school with who are now doctors or scientists etc are travelling the world and enjoying what life has to offer ......
If you complain about your lot....remember Brothers " you knew when you got baptized that serving Jah was a sacrifice" so stop your complaining
