What was said about Earth, Wind and Fire?

by Vachi 8 He Is in

i remember being in my dub uncles friends car when e,w & f came on and he goes "don't let your unc know you heard this song".

i didn't ask why at the time, but then some years later i hear again that dubs have something against e, w & f. (not that they don't have something against anyone who isn't one of them) but what went on between the two groups?

Oh, they are occult, no doubt.

They have pyramids and ankhs all over the place.

Hell, the vid our girl MrsJones posted has that greatest hits cover with the
eagle, which is a symbol, with the ankhs clutched in the talons. This is reminiscent of the US currency symbolism with the arrows instead of the ankh.

For those with a personal relationship to God....How did you get there?

by digderidoo in

friends

as some of you are aware i have been going to aa meetings since the new year.

the "god thing" linked to the aa was a real dilemma for me.. since this time i have researched well the jw doctrines and come to the realisation that to have a personal relationship with a higher power i do not need to believe in the witness doctrine.. i am at a point where i have been considering how i personally would interprate a higher power.. i have met someone within the aa who is an ex jw and have just had a conversation with him on the phone, which has got me thinking about this.. now he has said that his faith now has been built by replacing one brick at a time so to speak.

giving an illustration of his faith being like a building, he can replace an old brick with a new one until he gets a new building all of his own making.

Yes, White Dove, yes.

I have meditated on nature, for example, and it opened up many things to me.

Oh, it wasn't local.

It just wasn't official, either!

EW, and F are/were the shit. Believe it.

Go to YouTube, and search "New World Symphony Earth, Wind and Fire"

Let it play.

Soak it in.

There are so many great angles with this.

One is this:

"This is what happens when good intentions go rancid"

The Genius of Charles Darwin - tonight on Channel 4

first of a three-part series presented by richard dawkins starts tonight at 8:00. it doesn't get much better than this!.

So it doesn't get twisted:

I appreciate Darwin's work, in general.

I don't care that he married his cousin, either. It doesn't change the worth of his scientific output.

i understand i jump around too much in my comments.

my add gets worse when i get nervous.

plus i know there are topics that could be more academic.

Octarine Prince

BonaFide has been vetted:
His story is real;
yes, he petted,
and bumped and grinded
on pioneers,
and other little sweet Kingdom dears.

Many who shared his belief
say he should lie through his teeth,
while others look down on going through the trouble
and advise to leave those fools on the double.

This is why I continue to implore ex and soon-to-be ex JWs to stick to the facts. Or, at least make the facts the main focus of the discussion/argument.

hi all.. my mother in law got "a talking to" by 2 elders today.

thing is, we all live together, my jw mother in law, my disassociated wife and i, and, our little girl.

we have all been living together for 5 months or so.

Octarine Prince

Well, she would not be able to comment at any meetings, nor would any request/application for further privileges of service (pioneering, etc.) be accepted.

And, after the "marking" talk, the other people in congregation will know to shun her as they see fit.
