Must We Always See Heroes OR Villains?

villains can be heroic.

recite statistics of only the worst or exclusively the best of any person and a distorted conclusion is easy to reach.. __________.

"by the end of his term, president ronald reagan's 138 administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations.".

People are complicated and you really can't judge what people do at different times in history. If we look at our world today we see so many different opinions about public figures and we don't know them or any of the circumstances surrounding whatever event people are writing about.

I personally think it's ridiculous to start tearing down statues, outlawing books that were considered classics, renaming schools. Where does it stop? Is it really worth it? We don't know the facts. If you watch a movie from the 70's you often see how politically incorrect it is with today's social justice warrior standards.

People are acting like an out of control immune system.

by Witness 007 in

our kingdom hall was in a boring town of 30,000 people so to spice things up me and some special pioneers living with us decided to have a fancy dress up party!

what could go wrong?

nice clean fun, and no booze (oh crap!).

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. A dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the twilight zone.

Who has a harder time leaving JW's - Born Ins or those who converted?

by HeyLittleGirl in

my freind (who is also out) and i were talking about this the other night.

i was a born-in, 3rd generation jw and she converted when she was in her late 20's.. when she left, she said that she knew the world wasn't as bad as she was told as a jw, so she knew she would be fine.

also, she still had lots of "worldly" family who welcomed her back with open arms.. it was harder for me - i had nobody in the "world", no family or freinds.

Not being a born-in, It is my observation that children at the hall have a unique life they are accepted and hugged by many adults and treated deceptively well as young children. However, as they age the web tightens and they are expected to drink the cool-aid and get with the program. So I think it's very difficult for them to leave because they have fond memories of a large accepting families in their youth and then their trapped. It's like leaving your homeland and culture and never seeing your family again.

I Walk Dogs

by compound complex in

i walk dogs.

it was not a career of choice but just sort of happened.

years ago, a client was planning a two-week vacation to jellystone national park and needed both a house sitter and a dog(s) sitter.

My First Job before Armageddon (1975)

my first job before armageddonprologue: i left texas in 1974 and headed west to california to search for a job as an artist.

i didn't want to spend the rest of my life toiling for minimum wage as a janitor jehovah's witness.it was the year before 1975. as a jw, that should be a scary year.

not for me!i was determined to escape from all the influences of crazy people and to start living a real life.and now the story begins...______he was a tall man with a full and kinky black beard, glasses, and pretentious poseur pipe.. his name was jim rakey (rhymes with "flakey") and he belonged to a cult dedicated to the eternal truth: atlantis (the lost continent) would rise again from the sea as the enlightened government for all the world.

oh holy spirit what's your game?

some might think you are insane.

no one understands your mood
