Culture or the lack thereof
by Justin into belong to a culture is part of being human.
yet, jws and evangelicals are told to avoid being contaminated by the secular culture.
the evangelical movement, however, has created a subculture of its own.

Biosphere 2 for sale
The Texas investment company that owns Biosphere 2 north of Tucson, Arizona is selling the place. Billionaire Ed Bass dropped $200 million in the 1980s to build Biosphere 2 as a prototype "space colony." The experiment suffered major scientific and managerial problems and was eventually opened to the public as a tourist attraction. From the Arizona Daily Star: "We're looking at everything from government entities, universities and private schools to church groups, resorts and spas as potential owners," (said Christopher T. Bannon, general manager of Decisions Investment Corp.) "We'd love to see the Biosphere 2 used as a research activity, but we know that may not be the end result."

Killing One's Ego...
by FMZ inmany of the ancient mystics and their belief systems supported the idea that to truly live life, and draw close to god, each one of us has to remove his "ego".
even jesus hinted at it.. i think today, "ego" is very often taken as meaning pride.
this is but one facet of one's ego.

by avengers inhey there everyone, peace be upon you.
lately there have been discussions about websites disappearing.. i have been using a site especially for linking graphics.. i have been using this site since the year 2001.. about 2 months ago i tried to access this site to add some more.

i don't think it's a coincidence... over the last few months, i have seen many of the websites of active jw's going "off the air", and now the wts is going after anti-jw sites with a vengeance...personally, i *do* think there's a war starting, and it's pretty obvious that they montior this site (and others) very closely.
this is cool...
would you mind if i put that in all of my posts? (anyway, good luck in your fight. if you need any help, i'll enlist...)

**owies**
they could have just displayed every graphic with music and no narrative and that would have been far better than watching this travesty.

A psycho chick will call *after* the date to cancel... homey don't play da't
any girl who calls that late is a major player...and just has horribly bad manners. if i was a guy and she called me, i would hang up on her in mid-sentence.

yes! that's why they are so miserable. they are forced to live, work, and breathe in a world that they can't really be a part of, and forced to shun the pleasures of this wonderful world. i read in too many of their blogs and forums "just WAIT 'til Armageddon, you'll get yours!"... (anyway, i was gonna post this in that "are jw's miserable thread", but this one fits just as well.)

INCUBUS
by sistaintheback ini have been dealing with one for the past few years.
not constantly, but about once every three months.
for those that don't know, an incubus is a demonic presence that only bothers women when they sleep.

I actually believe that the majority demon possession cases (and I use that term lightly) which happen around the world (The type you sometimes see on TV or hear about in remote parts of the world) are actually the very powerful human subconscious manifesting one of its many unexplored facets.
i have been reading this thread and never answered, but read this comment and can say that this is just what i was thinking.
when i first left the witnesses and lived in that little apartment, my roommate would spend weekends away and leave me alone all night. and that is when i started experiencing this phenomenon. you are in a deep twilight sleep, in that you are mentally awake, but your body is asleep. i felt pure darkness come over me, and it was very scary..but this thrill would course through my body as well, which was very seductive. i told myself it was a demon, and to fight it..so i would force myself to awaken. for almost two years, this would happen to me, and one time i actually decided to be daring and not fight it, because i wanted to see where it would go...and all i can say is it was very dark and it felt like electricity was just racing through my entire being...time passed and things in my life changed and these "visitations" stopped. then i began having flying dreams, in which i was flying at night, no plane or wings, just me, and it was always over the Golden Gate Bridge, and the water was BLACK, but the bridge was all lit up with thousands of gold lights, and i thought i could fall i should wake up but i kept telling myself no, fly, this is just a dream, you can FLY so i succumbed to it and let the fear go out of me and it was liberating. so anyway i used to think it was the incubus but when i shed my jw self completely, i realized it was indeed just my subconcious expressing unfulfilled desires and repressed fears. pretty cool though...
