we have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.
it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .
* i have travelled into all 48 american states that are not named alaska or hawaii.. * for the past few years, i have had a slight walking impairment due to a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.
I like to rehab dogs with behavioral problems and I am a very accomplished cook
I'v built some of the largest custom homes on the emerald coast with my own two hands and some helpers
I am teaching my offspring to be humans rather than mindless members of the human race ( thats the best one)

That was too funny Betty Butterfield about made me pee my pants
I have actually seen people like that in RL here in florida
You are a good person.
well sometime ago when i was meeting at the kingdom hall i overheard someone whos been in the tower all his life say to someone " have you heard that the number of the annointed are going up and not down, people are saying they are of the annointed when they are not".well since, i have spoken to an elder about overhearing this and all i got back was " no this person wasnt questioning the watchtower, just pointing out a problem".so they know this is going on and they dont even question anything.its just so ridiculous for people who examine and scrutinze for study every word the wt puts out.
I'm not sure weak is the best word it implies something that can be overcome easily
Perhaps confused and sick would be more apt. They need a strong medicine/treatment to cure what they have
just a general question, that's all.. how about:.
firefighters / doctors / plumbers / lawyers / teachers / electricians / students / bartenders / accountants / landscapers / computer techs / fast food workers / military personel / janitors / office administrators / telemarketers / graphic designers / artists / pest control techs / pizza drivers / bar backs / bartenders / waiter/waitresses / managers / carpet cleaners / painters / car detailers / investors.....etc, etc, etc...my fingers are out of breathe!.
--and who's retired???.
I work for a construction corp. and oversee the subcontractors production and locate new talent
I also spend a lot of time getting people to communicate as a team . I'm pretty much a proffesional babysitter for grown men.
why do so many people hold out the hand and say "put what i need here,but i don't know what i need so can you do that to?".
this pervasive miasma of gimme gimme is inexplicable to me .
people willing to consume any dross that falls at the feet as if it were the sweetest mana merely because they lack the drive to question .
I mean to say in my experience this is the ultimate reality I have percieved
Other things beyond my experience are impossible for me to know
I don't feel entitled to anything other than what is now .

BTW this is the ultimate reality, we are here are we not?

Very good 5go you get my point exactly . You are not accepting anything except what you have LEARNED as your truth . Noone gave it to you you found it on your own .
I have no strong feelings about anything that takes place in this existence.
I live only to shine the light of my understanding in the hope that I my illuminate something for someone or inspire a free thought in another person
Acceptance is when you believe something to be real , it has nothing to do with how you feel or what you do with your feelings,
There is no justice in this world only the reality of what is
The only one who suffers from anger is the angry person no one else cares ,
Life is a struggle learn or drown in the ocean as you fight the tide

If I was getting shafted I would not expect help. If I was being murdered I would not expect to be saved I would expect to be shafted and murdered.
Death and suffering come to all it's a fact , noone likes it . Each person must learn to accept the life we lead as lesson adn life is not about feeling warm and fuzzy
why assume so much when so little is apparent ? Life is perfect the suffering is for a reason the love is for a reason death is for a reason .
Removing the bad leaves no comparison for good . Is bad really bad? That is a subjective question. If you are the recipiant of bad then it's negative If you are the lion that ate the sheep it's good
A wealthy man would say poverty is good because it allows so much power for him.
A feeling of compassion for suffering does not constitute an understanding of wrong and right
It's presumptious and arrogant the assume the mantle of decision
In the larger scheme all our trivial struggles only take our species a little closer to our destiny and will measure as next to nothing when weighed against the ultimate reality

Its something I see in a lot of people all the time . It's mental laziness that people in general have that leads them to lean on others far to much for information and they just accept what is given and alot of people seem to feel that they are entitled to something without putting forth effort to obtain it as an individual
Perhaps I shouldn't post half formed ideas lol
People sometimes don't feel they should be responsible for the lies they believe and become bitter as if someone owes them something because they feel robbed or betrayed and that is the sense of entitlement I am thinking of
Like I said polititions will NEVER solve anything niether will activists or lobbyists .I don't watch the news I don't care about the news The news is a concern for people that feel they can change other people with the volume of information in the head
I use my >understanding < to improve the condition of the world around me ( you know the part I can actually have some impact on) concerning myself with things I have no control over is a waste
The only truly benificial thing an ordinary person can do is not cause a need to arise.
