I am going on 2 months of no meetings and before that go just enough to keep my head above water for the family and friends but last time I went the singing was quiet and stumbling and just an air of akwardness throughout the hall.

Speaking of my hall we recently went through a remodel and they removed about 25 chairs so now the place looks full of people, we recently split congregations and since the split (which was a big ordeal) many have exited so instead of having 75 in each congregation they are only averaging 60.

Things That Matter and Things That Don't

by AllTimeJeff in

jw
friends

being a jehovah's witness at any time and at any level is a major head f*ck.

the reason is that it obscures what is important and causes you to focus on what doesn't matter.. i've moved on from my jw experience.

it's a shame that i found myself a born in, taught to focus on things that don't matter.

This is Great Jeff!

Your posts over the years have always opened my eyes to seeing the real truth.

THANKS!

Autism

by ProdigalSon in

the subject has come up in my reincarnation thread and i think its worthy of its own.. when i saw the movie "rain man", what amazed me the most about what raymond was able to do (i.e., counting the number of matches in a matchbox after a glance, or memorizing all the names and numbers in a large phone book in a matter of minutes) was that it proves that a human mind is capable of performing the functions of a computer and more.

why then, do we not a: all have these supercomputer abilities, and b., why is an autistic person lacking in other areas such as social skills?

my second son was born in 1992 with a lipoma on his tail bone which was also wrapped around his spinal cord.

I work with many Austic and spectrum disorder children and my observations come from nearly 100 and to date 43 show no more signs of their repetitive behaivors.

There are many factors involved, and you will NEVER find a root cause. I know their is a thread on the board about vaccines and yes that can be a piece of the puzzle but it is not sole cause.

The factors I have seen include:

Vaccines

Inherited (gene expression and enviornmental biowarfare crap like DDT, AO, etc,)

Enviornmental

Nutritional defiencies and/or excess

Heavy metals

Miasms

brain injury profile

brain local slow waves

The brain is my speciality and when the "chi" (yes scary unscientic word there) is not able to flow correctly the body simply gets stuck.

Chi works like a busy highway and when there is a car crash the traffic either stops or has to find an alternate route to get to its destination.

The body adapts to the stressor (heavy metals, yeast, etc.) causing the blockage and the body will always try to compensate.

The younger the child the easier it is for me, however I love my older high functioning kids, sometimes ignorance is bliss! When I look at all the years I suffered from this goofy religion I sometimes wish I could be ignorant of the all the lies.

Life lessons Huh?

The Dawkins Delusion

by brotherdan in

so, i recently finished reading "the god delusion" by richard dawkins.

i read it with a certain amount of hesitation.

after all, i am still recovering from my disappointment at realizing that the wts is not god's organization.

Quando

WOW...what a thread.

I should have probably started a new thread but I have to get out the door and go to work.

For Brotherdan I just wanted to share with you possibly a new read or paradigm shift in your journey of the truth or whatever you want to call it.

I have met this Scientist and he happens to make the most sense to ME maybe you will like him also.

The Mark of the Beast

by sabastious in

just a refresher on the jw explanation of the what number 666, the mark of the beast, really means:.

the mark identified.

immediately after disclosing the number 666, revelation mentions 144,000 followers of the lamb, jesus christ, who have his name and the name of his father, jehovah, written on their foreheads.

From this post and Not knowing you, my observation concludes you would not know a demon if it bit you in the ARSE

I was never DF'ed, I wasn't abused, I never lost a loved one to the ban on blood

by OnTheWayOut in

strange title, huh?.

the point is that i wasn't "burned" in some incredible way by wts and i don't carry a huge chip on my shoulder from some incredible injustice from wts or the local elders.. i say this because some people have constantly accused me of being really screwed over by my experience because of my comments on others' threads.

i explained myself there for my reasons, but wanted to repeat what those reasons are here in my own thread.. i explained on some post somewhere that i had felt that i experienced "divine intervention" in my life at one time and that same intervention ended my suicide attempt.

Quando

Upon my point of freedom "mentally" , because that truly is the only thing we own I simply let go and let GOD.

The Bible says "God is Love"

That is all I need to know.

There are so many poster's to this board I can't even begin to name, and I will in time (I hate time) begin to acknowledge you.

This is GREAT! I agree with "mickey" POWER to the Conscious Class

I was recently visited with a sheparding call , the elders are simply wonderful people (Really) I could not help but notice they were extremely fatigued and not healthy.

I told them straight out I am conscious class, I told them I will never go "out in service" because I think it is a waste of time and it hurts the enviornment (driving around wasting gas on not at homes)

Then I offered them something to eat and their eyes perked up and said "YES" I offered carrots from my garden and homemade hummus.

At this point they ran like hell, (making excuses to get out of my house)

No Link Found Between Vaccine Mercury and Autism

by leavingwt in

some red meat for the anti-science crowd.

no link found between vaccine mercury and autisma new government study adds to the evidence that thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative until recently found in many vaccines, does not increase children's risk of autism.. it shows kids who had been exposed as babies to high levels of the preservative -- through vaccines they received or their mothers received while pregnant -- were no more likely to develop autism, including two distinct subtypes of the condition.. .

"this study should reassure parents about following the recommended immunization schedule," said dr. frank destefano, director of the immunization safety office at the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) in atlanta, and the study's senior author.. .

It is not just the thermosil, it is all the other crap (yeast) that creates autisim from vaccines.

AND most certainly we cannot forget genetic factors in our DNA.

AT the end of the day it is a puzzle, we all have our own puzzle.

We can't blame or defend FDA they are just people with their own problems, and Oh MY Goodness even scientists have problems.

At the end of the day you can't ignore that 1 in 110 children develop autism.

If you want to be injected with the latest biological warfare medicine GO FOR IT! Your Dr. Endorsed it

It is just Science.
