I'm here because I was once a witness and the experience was interesting and I have a curiosity about how others were impacted. Sometimes I'm just here to have a little fun because humor can run wild here in a curious jw way. I guess we never really know who lives behind the avatars it's a mystery. People often think they know movie stars or talk about characters in a tv show like they're real.

Are there layers of realness? I can't see you or hear you but you leave a message and I can read it like finding an ancient piece of pottery and I wonder who made this? What were they like?

This generation will by no means pass away

good morning i hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

there has been a lot of talk about the "new light" concerning the generation teaching.

it's been a major part of the prophecy concerning the last days and of course since jws are the only ones able to decipher and understand prophecy it is of great importance to get this main prophecy right.

1914 was the cry

soon they found it was a lie

and yet they tried to make it fly

Low Day For Me Today

by pale.emperor in

hi guys.

it's been about 4 or 5 weeks since i was disfellowshipped.

so far it's been easy, i enjoyed being left alone, no one bothering me, no one telling me i need to do more, need to reach out, questioning why i didnt go on the ministry, and the fact that my ex-wifes family cant talk to me even if they wanted to.

The way that you feel about the organization is not going to change if you return but will fester inside. Right now you are feeling stressed and missing the family feeling you once had but it will never be the same again because you see the organization for what it is. It's obvious you love your daughter but think about her long term welfare do you want her to be a JW and what will you say when she realizes you haven't been upfront with her but allowed her to be indoctrinated by an devious organization. It's tough and can be a little lonely at first but it's worth it.

Here's a famous line "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not when I came to die discover that I had not lived".

The Man Who Hated Paradise

impressions after lost horizon, by james hilton.

the valley of the blue moon, a verdant and slightly concave sprawling hollow at the foot of the largest snow-capped rock i ever laid eyes on, is not home to me, nor ever shall it be.

had i entered paradise under my own steam -- not kidnapped -- i daresay my impressions of utopia would be immeasurably more favorable.. for a certainty, i long for the hustle, the bustle, the din of my dirty and lusty city by the bay, whose roots sink deep into the ancient mire of human folly and wanton avarice.

Lost Horizon a movie I saw many years ago as a child. I loved it because I had a soft spot in my heart for shangri-la. All my life I have pursued the hope of love and peace for humanity and it caused me to try out many dreams one of which was jehovahs witnesses and always it falls through. The pursuit has been interesting and now I realize that we as humans don't know what we want or where the lines are we don't even know for sure what we are but we are all very different. I think the only society that works is the one that allows us the pursuit of happiness not the finding of someones manufactured dream of a peaceful world. We're all about the pursuit and not the finding. We're at our best when we're on the way following our dreams and making alot of mistakes. It's a bit dangerous but we wouldn't be happy otherwise.

Another Egyptian relic discovered at Hazor, northern Israel

by fulltimestudent in

it doesn't look significant, but it is - the jerusalem post reports:.

the finding – coupled with a sphinx fragment of the egyptian king mycerinus (who ruled egypt in the 25th century bce), discovered at the site by the research team three years ago – are the only monumental egyptian statues found so far in second millennium contexts in the entire levant.the discovery of these two statues in the same building currently being excavated by the research team indicates the special importance of the building, which was likely the administrative palace of the ruler of the city, as well as that of the entire city of hazor.shlomit bechar, a doctoral student at the institute of archaeology, who has been excavating at hazor for a decade, is the dig’s co-director, and oversees the main excavation area.during the course of nearly 30 years of excavations, fragments of 18 different egyptian statues – both royal and private – dedicated to egyptian kings and officials, including two sphinxes, were discovered at hazor.“most of these statues were found in layers dated to the late bronze age (15th-13th centuries bce), corresponding to the new kingdom in egypt,” said ben-tor.“this is the largest number of egyptian statues found so far in any site in the land of israel, although there is no indication that hazor was one of the egyptian strongholds in southern canaan, nor of the presence of an egyptian official at hazor during the late bronze age.”ben-tor added that most egyptian statues found at hazor date to egypt’s “middle kingdom” (19th-18th centuries bce), a time when hazor did not yet exist.“it thus seems that the statues were sent by an egyptian king in the ‘new kingdom’ as official gifts to the king of hazor, or as dedications to a local temple, regardless of their already being ‘antiques,’” he said.“this is not surprising, considering the special status of the king of hazor, who was the most important king in southern canaan at the time.

the extraordinary importance of hazor in the 15th-13th centuries bce is indicated also by the biblical reference to hazor as ‘the head of all those kingdoms’ (joshua 11:10).”all the statues at the site were found broken into pieces and scattered over a large area, he noted.“clear signs of mutilation indicate that most of them were deliberately and violently smashed, most probably in the course of the city’s final conquest and destruction sometime in the 13th century b.c.e,” said ben-tor.“the deliberate mutilation of statues of kings and dignitaries accompanying the conquest of towns is a well-known practice in ancient times (i samuel 5:1-4; isaiah 11:9), as well as in our time.”the hazor excavations, which began in the mid-1950s under the direction of the late professor yigael yadin, are carried out on behalf of hu.

video is entitled "beware of deceit" he uses the letter of jude to show that current day apostates are deceitful and that they use "trickery" to and "twist facts" to try to "grab our mind".

warning: your head might explode.

especially past the 5:30 mark.

That really was a head exploder

He talks about the apostate scripture twisting that amused me a bit.

I'm sorry to hear that but I'm not surprised anymore. My mantra these days is "it is what it is". Mostly you just can't find reasons and you can't control it all you can do is pick up the pieces and move on and say "that was interesting I'll try to be more alert next time".
