after armageddon: vision of the future (part 1).
---an original story by cam---.
armageddon has come and gone and i am left to tell the story.
Cameo-
I like this so far.
I have had the thought that it would be so easy for the WTS and the powers that really are to put people in camps or tell them to hide inside and then commit Armageddon themselves , then lie to the "survivors" . It would be the perfect way to lower the world population and still insure obedient people to serve the masters.
Looking forward to more.
if this is your wish, what age do you not wish to live past?.
It depends on how long I can stay healthy and enjoy a fairly reasonable quality of life.
I know a centarian who is getting around fairly well and is happy to be alive still. I also know other people who are old and moldy in their 60s.
I plan on staying active and useful as long as I can, my kids are already cracking jokes about what they are going to do to me when I have to depend on them so I have to live long enough to get some revenge lol.
So I guess my final answer (for now) is that I want to live until I am good and ready to go, whatever age that is going to be.
now my dad is trying to tell me going to watch the fireworks is celebrating it - the same as celebrating christmas... i told him that i don't care i'm going anyways and i'm taking hubby and daughter with me... he said in a not to happy tone, "ok".... i mean, what is he gonna do?
nope!
cause then he will get in trouble also and probably loose his elder status... .
We always watched the fireworks on the 4th too. My JW husband always goes with us.
When the 4th falls on a meeting night, there is a mad rush for everyone to get out of the KH in time to see the fireworks.
so, i'm thinking of getting a pet bird with the money i saved by working on my own car.
i'm trying to decide on species.
any suggestions?.
I had a video of some doves. Firefox isn't lrtting me do this
I'll try again tomorrow
okay, so i am guessing this has been posted in the past, but not recently.. after removing myself from the influence of the org, i wanted to do something different to symbolize drift.
i am thinking about donating blood.
the reason is not just symbolic, but i heard it can save up to like 25 lives.
I was going to celebrate my birthday last year by donating blood, but I wasn't eligible because I was taking a strong arthritis medication.
I'm not taking any meds this year so I'm going to make my first donation on my birthday.
there was a program on t v last night that went into the paganism beliefs and practises (including wicca, etc) i have to admit i do still feel uncomfortable with thier rites and religious practises (well i guess i feel the same way about christians talking in tongues - just not comfortable with gibberish) - doesn't make sense and borders on the weird for me.
i know it also stems from the unknown.. on the point of a goddess - that doesn't bother me because even though many picture god as male and showcase him as such, i am mindful of the scripture that says that spirit is neither male/female.. .
Male and female yes! In Wicca, there are two sides to deity as there is in everything, sun and moon, light and dark, Lord and Lady.
Loubelle, if you read about the reasoning behind the rites, you will find it's easy to understand.
First, do no harm, then do what you will.
The concept is simple, but the application takes some work.
There is much freedom in the practicie of Wicca, but two things are considered important, doing no harm and thankfulness to the Goddess and God as well as thankfulness in general.
Christianity has the Golden Rule, do unto others ect., Wicca takes it one step further, not only do no harm to others, but do nothing to harm yourself.
Wiccans also believe in the threefold law, whatever you do comes back to you threefold times. Do bad deeds and you will recieve them back multiplied. Do good and you will receive good back multiplied. Some people call this karma, but every religion has a version of this belief.
The celebrations and rituals follow the moon cycles and the seasons, people can worship in groups or be solitary practitioners.
Wicca and christianity are not opposites .I have a son in law who is both Wiccan and Catholic.
so, i'm thinking of getting a pet bird with the money i saved by working on my own car.
i'm trying to decide on species.
any suggestions?.
We have a pair of peach ring necked doves that are wonderful.
They are very tame and sound like they're laughing when they coo.
There are also smaller diamond doves that are gorgeous.
We also have a couple cockatiels- they are 14 years old now and still going strong.
my top ten or about that : ( not necessarily in order ).
jaws.

...outlaw.
I wanted it all too, especially Christmas and Halloween.
My father inherited all my grandparent's Christmas ornaments and my mother gave them all to a neighbor. There was one little bell ornament shaped like an angel that I managed to keep. A while later, my mother found it and broke it right in front of me. I was heartbroken.
kitten whiskers- yesssss, it was exactly like that for me too.
I always felt like I was outside, with my nose pressed to the glass, looking in at people who have normal lives.
