greetings, my aging friends:.
it's not really a funny subject, our getting old and our bodies falling apart.
sure, as the saying goes, hard work won't kill you, but it can wear out your body.
Chronic pain really can wear you out I have osteoarthritis in both knees and knee replacement looms in the future and i just don't really want to do it. It only hurts when I walk.
As you get older everything seems to act up and it would be great if something really really worked definitively and fast but i haven't found it.
good morning, all.. it is good to be here.. thanks to all for your contributions.. love and blessings.
sylvia.
Good Morning even though it's raining today
I came across something interesting the other day because I often listen to unusual interviews and conferences. A man named Mauro Biglino a former biblical translater for the vatican who had access to many old documents has come out with some shocking revelations. He no longer is working with the vatican due to what he has to say about the actual meaning of some biblical texts. His videos are in italian but some have subtitles and that makes it a little tedious to watch but it was fascinating. Just throwing it out there in case anyone was interested.
before my mother's death, it would have impacted me.
now , i wouldn't care..
nothing
well, that would be an airer.
it's all in how we hear the spoken word.
when a little boy, one fellow thought "world peace" was "whirled peas.
When I was a little girl I thought they're were rocket chips and I pledged allegiance to the republic for witchard stan whatever that was.
One funny and embarrassing thing for a young man doing the bible reading of jeremiah 36:22 was when he read that the king was sitting in the winter house with a brassiere burning before him. We were all entertained by that.
Someone told me about a man who for years called them the brown volumes
endless tails (tales) of brain freeze
we all love apostates because it is apostates that expose the cults for what they are.
few people should know this better than we do!
interesting video of mosab yousef at jerusalem conference sept 2016. yes, he really says that "muslims do not kill in the name of jehovah..." which i found interesting.. please, please listen to the whole thing before making a comment.
The only difference between jehovahs witnesses and muslims is witnesses want jehovah to kill everyone and they'll happily bury them afterwards, I have a problem with a god of love slaughtering 7 billions humans as they run with their babies from fireball tossing angels. It would be more humane to just put them to sleep but no it must be explosive to be effective.
muslims want it now and they'll do it witnesses condone and relish it at armageddon,
my day's long and arduous journey winds down.. infinite night gracefully descends and takes me into her.
welcomed embrace.. i have no reason to fear the inevitable,.
that transition into a higher and.
It's funny that millions are tuned in and she's become the most famous giraffe on the planet.
She looks like she's ready i hope it's a girl.
my day's long and arduous journey winds down.. infinite night gracefully descends and takes me into her.
welcomed embrace.. i have no reason to fear the inevitable,.
that transition into a higher and.
As we await the call we laugh we are like april the giraffe
Are millions staring at our cage our lives performed upon a stage
Like April we don't have a clue we search the cage for what is true
Our lives are timed and then it's done It doesn't feel like that much fun
But as she paces through her pain and munches on her tasty grain
We watch her as she tries to birth that's how it is here on the earth
i've been watching quite a bit of gb member stephen lett on youtube recently (no, i'm not thinking of going back to the jws).. i just find him compulsive viewing, like when people slow down to see a car crash.
i find his facial expressions and intonation spell-binding.. it reminds me a bit of john carpenter's the thing, a film where an alien life-form infects a host and imitates it, spreading throughout camps of remote workers in the antarctic.
if i were a bethelite living in close proximity to lett, i'd be thinking about giving him the blood test to see if he was normal, lol.. why does lett speak in public the way he does?
Stephen Lett does it with aliens
publication, that is?.
i just found all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial in storage.
i enjoyed studying it, as well as make sure of all things, hold fast to what is fine.. our thinking has changed, of course, but, back then, did you have a wt publication you especially liked?.
I never liked any of the jw publications they all went into the trash in a quantum entanglement with the landfill.
Now on the subject of pubs not much of a drinker but chicken wings are always on my list
because i am still very much held a prisoner to past beliefs and practice, i dress in suit and tie and bring a briefcase on my frequent dates.. i talk business during the entire happy meal (macdonalds), displaying ad brochures and spreadsheets relative to whatever business plan i happen to be hawking that day.
i count the venture as a business expense and jws who frequent this fine diner know i am not on a date.
there are no smirks, no snickering, no knowing glances.
A happy ending yes
This topic made me think about busybodies in the congregation who are always "concerned" about other peoples behavior. I don't miss those conversations one bit. In their world people are always going on too many vacations or not going out in service enough or growing a beard or dressing improperly. It wears on you and towards the end of my stay I started having scary conversations with them till someone who was "concerned" went to the elders because they thought I needed help.
I feel so much better now they were closing in on me with their spider web thinking and then I escaped the enclosure never looking back with any longing just thinking the proverbial "what doesn't kill you makes you strong".
So date on
