hello friends!.

i've been a member here for quite a while even though i haven't posted much the past few years.

i faded from jws starting in 2005 and it was the best decision i ever made.. i feel like i have grown spiritually because i'm no longer locked into a certain way of thinking as the society would have us do, being fearful of listening to other religious beliefs because they are a part of christendom and worst of all, because if one did while in the org.

for those of you who watch big love, near the end of the episode margene was having a conversation with bill, after he found out she was friends with ana (his new interest).

they were in a discussion about testimony and holy spirit and bill asked her if the holy spirit spoke to her about ana and she asked "how would you know?

boy how familiar does that sound?

Why can't all stars give this answer?

just saw a documentary i recorded about elvis.

at a press conference once, one of the reporters asked him a political question, and he stated that he preferred to keep his opinion to himself and that he was just an entertainer and that's what he wants to do.

great answer and it kept his fans happy to the end.. now i am not star-struck, but i do get very annoyed when some of my favorite stars spout their personal opinions on politics, etc.

An interesting website I thought I'd share

in reading leolaia's comments about the nephelim and referring to the book of enoch, being the curious person i am, went on a search of the book of jubilees and came across this site: http://www.earth-history.com/preface.htm.

during later years i became more and more interested in the ancient history of mankind and the written stories from all over the world including the myths, legends and sages.

during this study it became very clear that the stories in the bible were not unique, and had been told of and written about everywhere around the ancient world.. when looking for evidence i began to read the history of mesopotamia, assyria, egypt and other regions and soon found out what i had already presumed.. because of this new evidence i started reading the bible again, only now as an historical book.

Two, maybe three questions

these questions aren't related to each other; just some thoughts that came into my head:.

1) do you like living in the time zone you are in?

or better yet, would you want to live or are you happy living near the international date line?.
