It was a 'sheparding call' on his very own sister. I felt a mix of love and disgust all at once. Love for him.. disgust that he is a pawn in the religion.

I know this is the best he is capable of right now, playing by their rules. It was good to hear his voice, but sickening how mechanical the religion makes people. he said he is concerned about me, my welfare, especially my spiritual welfare.

I asked him calmly why he just now tells me of his concern...I know the answer.. now as an elder he is allowed to talk to his 'df'd' sister under the guise of sheparding. It is the only way he knows

It is his way of showing love

I love my brother, I love my family. they are good people stuck in a loop

He began by asking if I believe in god

I told him I ponder the metaphysical all the time, am spiritual in my own personal way, have a profound reverence for nature and 'creation' all around us...but no longer believe in a god as i once did..a god that promotes slavery, stonings, is constantly judging humans from above..no, never again

..and I told him it would be impossible for me to belong to a religion i now know to be hypocritical. A case in point, the societies involvement with the UN. they demonize the UN as 'the image of the wild beast', yet registered and were accepted as a UN dept of Information Non governmental organization. To be accepted as an associate of the UN, an organization must support and respect its charter. The first of these states the purposes of the UN..the first being "To maintain international peace and security..." . Another, "To develop friendly relations among the nations..." . So did the society now decide not to leave it in jehovah's hands to bring peace and security? And then, once the societies status as an associate to the UN was exposed in the media, the society mysteriously retracts their status of associate. hmmmmm

It was too much for my brother. He is not ready to hear facts that expose the religion for the lie that it is. He is not ready to question his entire belief system.

It is sad. I was there once. It may happen one day. The light may come on. he may find the courage to do the unthinkable...research for real answers to his doubts and questions (because every jehovah's witness has them). He may one day listen to his inner voice. It's there, all jehovah's witnesses have one, even as much as they try to supress it

Love to all

Activist and Folk singer Facundo Cabral killed in Guatemala

by designs in

he was a champion of human rights in central and south america.

his famous song 'no soy de aqui ni soy de alla'- i'm not from here nor am i from there' is as famous in the spanish speaking world as fellow poet and activist jose marti's poem guantanamera was and made known here by folk singer and activist pete seeger.. these are the towering figures that keep dictatorships and right wing and left wing oligarchs on notice.

cabral's voice will be sadly missed.. .

Since first hearing that song yesterday, I've now listened about a hundred times lol (ok, slight exaggeration)~

It sounds like a lullaby for peace and harmony...to help put to rest the anger and the differences~

It is good to know there are people on this earth that are like him~

So sad that another person for peace and human rights has passed on..

I wonder if he and John Lennon ever connected (something to look at)

He sounds like a very caring person. What a beautiful message, 'I'm not from here nor am I from there'...Found that song, and it starts at four minutes, he really does seem to care about what he sings of~

How To Leave Jehovah's Witnesses Easily and Painlessly

by Daniel Metz in

friends

i have just thought of a way to leave jehovah's witnesses using information from the new shepherd the flock of god book.

it's quite simply: rebaptism.

here are the steps:.

Now I feel bad about what I wrote. It was not meant as an attack on you, personally. Really what gets me fired up is that the religion does this over and over again to good people..it has people defending it at all costs. Those in the religion have so many messages thrown at them from the platform, from the literature...it's endless. And all of those messages prey upon people's soft hearts. The WT manipulates. I will say from my personal experience, I defended that "truth" will all my energy, as I believed with all my heart that it was the path to true peace and security. I wanted so bad for everyone to be loving and live forever...

But, in reality, the Jehovah's Witnesses do not have the market cornered on 'truth'. They are in the business of keeping a person wrapped up in 'serving Jehovah' ..so even the most honest-hearted person cannot see the forest through the trees.

I hope you will find this out.

Best wishes for you~
