minimus' thread (plus the massive research i had to do this weekend; my head is still reeling) made me wonder -.
why is labeling your experience with jws as an experience with a "cult" important to you?
there are so many heated opinions on this (for both sides).
my motivation for leaving the borg
was solely driven by an urgency to
remain in the lives of my struggling
children....
the concept of CULT was explored
after the fact, and it is a simple case
of "if it quacks like a duck cult..."
no dignified exit = cult
i have a youtube subscription to univ of california's.
uctelevison which evidently is available on satelite tv.... i consider this type of lecture opportunity to be a great.
substitute for what used to be a dr0ne session at the kh..... at any rate, this was a recent addition to the subscription.

Professor David Sloan Wilson looks at Darwins theory of evolution vs. theories of creationism and intelligent design. He considers the assault on Darwins theory by those who advance theories of creationism or intelligent design in this installment of the Darwin Evolving Series from UCLA
(this isnt particulary accurate; he is highlighting the lack of the application of evolutionary processes and their implications outside the realm of biological sciences... great points at about 26-27 min/32 min/50 min approx... don't miss the Q&A)
how are things in north michigan?
i hear that they are very bad for employment and business.
i used to know a couple of people who were in the design of homes, i think their business was lake st. design.
are you talking about the UP?
the clocks i can reset got reset
but that bluddy internal one that
pesistently arouses me between
5:30 and 6:00 am got me up at
4:30!! no fair!!
still, it is 8:30 here and i have gotten
2 chapters in my coursework done and
am enjoying my 2nd cuppa now
that the dogz are walked and brushed and fed....
meet the press is on in the background
and i have answered pertinent emails...
oh yeah... i dont have any "meetings" to attend
(hey WTWizard: how is that for creating value for time invested??)
just curious to see who else left in the same year as me.
and how are things for you now.. it has been 2 1/2 years since i left and damn time has gone fast.
i now have heaps of fun.
the official act of apostacy and therefore
my complete and irreversible awakening
is chronicled by my start date here at JWN...
prior to that it had been a couple, maybe 3,
years of paralyzed confusion, where
i believed my intention was to find that
"love i first had" for the b0rg and its god...
(yeah, in that order)
we got a call a couple of days ago from this older brother in the hall.
he is a great guy who is in his eighties.
he has a very hard time walking and just getting around because of old age but he is the kindest man.
the "loving provision" provided
by the b0rg of being able to
"report time" as minimal as
15 minutes is the only concession
aimed at accommodating the husks
of the lives of people they have used up
within a year or so, the internet will be 'opened up' to allow users to create full web and e-mail-addresses using non-latin characters.
the critical examination and companionships we have enjoyed for the past 15 years will become easily available to nationals in their own language.. imagine if the internet had been created and developed in chinese or urdu - how much use would that have been to you?
soon, our lovely apostate friends around the world will be spreading the news in their own language!.
as someone who is tech-not
i dont get a lot... ok most.....
ok, hardly any of what you
are saying but i can pick out
the words "watchtower"
and "blows" so that is
all i need to know.....
cheers!
i'll have to think about it
cleaning out two email accounts.
in my school email account, i had unread email going back to february of 2008. i had 1,500 messages total.
no, i didn't read most of it, but i did make a quick scan to make sure i wasn't deleting something important.
while the body count in any single one
of my 5 email accounts doesnt come close
to 1500 (), they do get into triple digits
way too often...
more than once i have had a kid of mine
remark "380 UNREAD messages? what
the hell, mom? do you even CHECK your
email?"
i was watching the dr. oz progrram and a girl asked the question when she has sex and has a orgasem she farts and she wanted to know if she was normal and the dr. said it will happen and he explained why.
so do you girls do it.. .
.
probably the first four or five times...
after that i can't be sure
