John Denver: On being human

i have renewed respect and admiration for john denver after watching/listening to this video.some of it reminds me of words by another john, john lennon.i really regret that my jw upbringing made me dislike john denver after some things he had said about jw's in his earlier career.

i would have loved to have heard this talk back in 1980 when it was first recorded.it hits home on so many levels of what we discuss on this very forum.

everything from evolution to spirituality,humanity to religion, the ineptitude of modern politics to solve mankind's problems.the things which we allow to divide us as humans but more importantly the things which we all should allow to unite us.it is 2 hours in length but i didn't regret the time spent watching it because it was one of those things that show that he had very similar ideas,philosophies,and feelings that have been expressed on here.after what many of us have been through on our journey and trying to escape a religion that we found we were trapped/bound to in some form or another,something tells me he'd felt right at home being with us.this recording is almost 36 years old so the sound and picture quality might not be what we're accustomed to today but is so worth the watching of it.

Has anyone else collected their money back from local Kingdom Halls for money loaned for construction?

by StoneWall in

jw
friends

just a reminder if you haven't, to get it back before they sell any more halls.even if you're currently da/df you can still collect any monies owed you by the kingdom hall as far as loans go.we were able to get back $1000 that my mom had loaned the local hall for a loan to build new one.it was documented by the paper that had been given each publisher back then on how much they could/would be willing to give as an outright donation or a loan.

the loan was to be paid back whenever the publisher requested it.

(not a specific date)i can't help but feel that a lot of the old timers that loaned monies to the society and/or k-halls have been forgot about by them or their families.

Another one bites the dust...

by StarTrekAngel in

so despite glimpses of hope here and there, the wife is just not seeing this cult for what it is.. so who is the one the bit the dust?

i've not been feeling so well lately.

a bit of lightheadedness.

Wow how i do remember those frigging anxiety/panic attacks of years ago.
Felt like I was dying and having a heart attack at a young age.
When I went to the Emergency room and they hooked me to the EKG and saw that I had arrhythmia.
Funny thing it was when I was first learning the truth about the "truth" and I think trying to process all of that in such a short period in the beginning took its toll.
I never went to a single therapist or took any meds but there were times I couldn't get out of bed because of feeling so tired from where my heart raced so fast and the tightness in it.
After a few months (about 6-8 iirc) I got to the point one day that I just told myself I'm tired of wondering if there was a God,if the bible was right or wrong, if the sun would explode ,if the world would end etc..
I was like if this is how I'm going to feel from now on that I didn't care if i lived because it sucked and death at that point in my life would've been like a release.
So I basically said something similar to what Cool Hand Luke said in the movie, along the lines of God if you're there, love me,hate me, hit me with lightning,fire from heaven it don't matter. Just show me if you're there.
There was no response.
So late that night I made myself a promise.I would never ever let another person or organization tell me what God expects of me. If he can tell them what he expects of me then he can tell me. My door is always open.
Needless to say my panic/anxiety attacks ceased. I started sleeping better and actually my whole outlook on life improved.
To this day I've never regretted that decision.
And as many others have pointed out on this forum in time it does get better.
Try and surround yourself with positive influences such as some family that maybe aren't JW's as well as going to some meet-ups if possible. Also do some hobby's,sports,movies, and some books that you may have put off because of the JW religion.
Anyhow wishing and hoping you the best possible turn out.

A great suggestion from a current Bethelite on the chopping block

by Gilbeath Haaraloth in

a very close friend of mine has gotten his letter.

although he was planning to leave willingly, he told me that he can't help but feel a sense of being stabbed in the back by a bunch of self righteous traitors.

he gave tours for years, always telling the visitors "this is the best way of life, i would never change anything here and i'll never regret making this decision to come here.

On the subject of male circumcision there has already been much discussion on this forum for both the pro's and con's of it.
If you want to see a whole lot that have appeared on this very forum type in the search box the word foreskin.
Some are very educational while others have a bit of humor regarding certain bible passages relating to it and such.
One thread you may want to check out Gilbeath is this one:

partial quote from Makemeanunbeliever:3 hours ago

"@prologos-Time will tell. One thing time has told us, each generation progressively gets worse. And this generation is one of the the most, if not the most, perverted in history."

My Response to this;

Give me a freaking break. Have you ever read about the atrocities that happened during the Crusades?
This is so tiring about hearing how this generation is so much worse than previous generations.
Have you heard in the news lately about the beheading of people. NewsFlash read in the Bible about how David not only killed Goliath but also decapitated him. Read about how Samson ruthlessly killed Philistines and how Pharoah of old had all the babies at/near the time of Moses killed.
This generation is no worse than any that preceded it. The only thing that has changed is we have more people and more weapons with which to kill with.
Hell King David and King Solomon "evidently" had God's blessing even though they were each married to hundreds of wives as well as having hundreds of concubines.(Fornication/Adultery in today's world but I guess it was OK back then cause God doesn't change, he's the same then as now huh)

All this bullshit about how bad we are in todays Generation.

any others going to super bowl party in a few hours?who's your pick to win the big game?looks like they bringing more celebrities in for half-time show.i'm going to be pulling for the carolina panthers for two reasons: !

) i'm currently living in n.c. 2)would be nice to have a new team win it this year that's never won.i'm happy that at least the new england patriots aren't in this year's super bowl.

they are a great talented team but have just had my fill of them being in so many over the years.anyhow i just hope this year is a great game and that the half-time show doesn't suck.go panthers!!!!!!!!

StoneWall

OMG
I had to come home and drink a lot of coffee after that game.
The friggin Panthers are driving me to drink again. And I mean all kinds of different stuff.
I told myself when i arrived at the party I was going to stick mainly to beer. That didn't last but until maybe second quarter.
Praise Geebus my wife was able to drive back home after that fiasco.
And if there was any part of me that didn't want to start back drinking....the half-tiem show pretty much did me in.

I mean it's the 50 year Anniversary of the super bowl. For Gawd's sake perform something amazing. not that shyte.
It's bad enough to lose money on tjat game but hell give me at least a decent half-time show or some good commercials.
And Roger Goodell if thats the best you can come up with for a half-time show for the big 50....you need replaced as NFL Commisioner.

Cappytan has made a video. Here is the link

The video may still be there but "invisibly present", sorta like Christ's presence in 1914. (muhahaha)
All of you non-believers just need more faith and you can feel its presence.
Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there right.

Cappytan maybe making a move to be on the new GB with a set up like that one.
Think about it.He got us all worked up about seeing this and then failed to deliver.
It's almost a perfect replication of what the JW's do with their "Special Announcements"
Always leaves you disappointed,wanting more or thinking...that's it. I got all dressed and left home to go to the Kingdom Hall for that.

Man Killed in car crash watching Porn

by StoneWall in

makes me wonder what "flashed" before his eyes at moment of impact/death.http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/82584838-story

Quote from news article:
"The driver was not wearing a seat belt when he lost control and rolled the car. He was partially ejected through the sunroof and died on scene."

So in other words he got ejected instead of ejacted.
That's a 'hard' way to go
