" well, i've been thinking of how the little insect seems to have little brain power (low iq or something) but the larger the animal or life form, the smarter it gets.
babies grow this way.
as each cell is doubled, it gets smarter and its body grows.

When all our little voices sing the song of life as one the universe will rejoice
We are an upthrust of cells that supports a spirit/consiousness all the cells combined working in unison join energy and we are the result , imagine all the people living for today .
Now if all people worked together as one imagine what we would become,,,,,,,
and petrified... i just recently became a pioneer and always had nagging questions in the back of my mind.
so, i decided that when i have get a study i would research all the questions as i go along so as to prove everything in the truth... i got 4 studies in about 2 months.
all was fine, until i reached i think chapter 6 in the bible teach book about the resurrection.
After many questions I found an answer that can be questioned no further.
The answer is different for each of us and can't be given or taken from one to another .
The best we can do for those who still feel they are "seeking" is point in the direction to where the answer lies,
The truth lies within each of us , we are born knowing the truth and spend much of our lives turning away from what we perceive as a lack or a nothing , it only seems a nothing because it needs nothing.
I wish I could express what I have experienced in a coherent manner that would bring relief to confusion and certainty to an uncertain world , but my limited intellect can only point at the unnamed.
It has no place
It has no boundary
It has no name
It is among us all

i spent 20 long years in the society.
the one thing they pounded into your head esp at convention time is honesty.
jehovah's people are the most honest in all the earth.

i have been posting on here for a few months now.
i know sometimes i seem like a mole( had to research that one) and sometimes a wt defender and other times a bit confused.
i feel like i need to make a position statement as i never really introduced myself.
I have discarded all things taught to me as a child and as a man by man.
In place of long held and cherished beliefs I have opted for personal experience and actual spiritual enlightenment.
I no longer am burdened by the necessity of proving anything or anyone right or wrong. Of what value is there in being right?
We are in fact a conundrum that has it's own answer the moment we begin to look within for all that we seek without.
The quest you find yourself on is a journey to disillusionment and discovery.
If one must prove to themselves what one is born knowing then the journey will be long and arduous indeed , but if one could stop and lay aside this need and just look at the here and now , experience the here and now just as it is ,the pointlessness of proving any point will be made evident in it's own foolishness.
Not that I think disproving garbage is unimportant.
if a family member is disfellowshipped (for example a son or a daughter) what sort of "privileges" would a family lose?
would they still be permitted to have bible studies in their home, go out in field service and would they be marked as bad association?

Think of the affiliation with the watchtowwer as an affliction rather than a privilege and your answer will be self evident
light - we can't see it or touch it; we can't hear it, taste it or smell it.
parts of light appear as different colours - all electomagnetic forces yet still the colour is mere perception, dependent on whether the light rays are absorbed or reflected by the object they fall upon.
white may indeed be black and black be white - perceptions!
It has no place , It has no boundary , it has no name . I alone am.
I AM.
AM...
by jesus returning in 1914 by only directing his attention towards earth...(flip flop flip flop) what does his actual presence consist of?
is he projecting his spirit from heaven..... .
what do they mean by presence now ?
In an alternate school of thought , it is believed that a "Christ frequency" is being transmitted to earth to heal us and promote ascension from our obviously beleaguered state of being.
I am sure we are all capable of being "Christed spirits" but the interpretation made by the society is a perversion of anything resembling logic or reason.
Jesus stands for an Ideal just like Buddha or any other Holy figure .
I myself believe we are changing for the better and it's because PEOPLE are returning to earth in acts of love and understanding and we as a whole have grown tired of the same old garbage that is wrecking our existence.
i don't know if there is a god.
if i knew for certain, this piece of knowledge could serve as a foundation for my world view.
some people are confident they know the answer (both theists and atheists) and their world view is based on this faith.
I am not a local event dreaming of a universe , but am a universe experiencing a dream of locality.
All that is , is within each of us.
The question of a God is a rather moot one . WE are all that is provable and even our conception of that is incomplete and erroneous due to our lack of complete reception of all that is transmitted as information.
We can't perceive ultra violet , only it's effects are measurable (IE: sunburn) We can't receive radio waves with our ears but they transmit information none the less.
Our consciousness is the end result of spirit/energy reacting on a physical state, what does "God " have to do with that?
We are an example of the greater in a lesser state, We are the infinite within a finite framework operating as an individual in an effort to experience this reality.
What does God have to do with that?
We are all part of "God" no separation is apparent to me
anyone who has ever sat at home, healthy, well fed, surrounded by loved ones, and suffering from intense anxiety will readily agree that peace of mind is the necessary condition for happiness.
but how can we possibly learn to have peace of mind when the mind is by nature restless, projecting its wants and fears endlessly into the past and the future?.
think about your favorite activity for a moment.
Namaste
The voice of reason is so quiet and slight one can easily overlook it in favor of the loud and belicose rantings of society.
The very best one can do is to become quiet within , it doesn't trouble anyone and is very simple.
Being present in the present . What a concept.
i took last thurs and fri off from work and was on my bed all weekend, yesterday and today.
even now i got up to take a shower and was too dizzy to dry off.
i've not had a cold or flu in years and take the flu shot every year.
YOu are getting better right now , tomorrow you will feel much better, when someone gets well enough to complain that is a really good sign ,
