A quote to brighten up your Monday!
by SweetBabyCheezits in"once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing.
that was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of "world history," but nevertheless, it was only a minute.
after nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die.. one might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature.

Interesting... I'm seeing some gray between the black and the white. Marking this SOB.
I don't believe in blind, patriotic fervor (unless it's to the Brazilian Women's Beach Volleyball Team) and I've been frustrated to see comments lately on FB that "we should just carpet bomb the hell outta Afghanistan and get out." Wow, really? Why not just get out? How would Americans feel if the shoe was on the other foot and the MiddleEast had invaded the US to "preserve peace and restore order?" How many of gun-toting Republicans wouldn't fight back? So what do you expect of rebels in Afghanistan? They're born into a world of strife and see "evidence" of what they consider US oppression as they grow up. Who is on another's terrain? That's another topic.
BTS: If you aren't happy with some of the US's military actions, the blame lies with politicians and the electorate itself, not with the common soldier, sailor, marine, or airman.
The OP raises some interesting questions for me - Where's the consistency? Do you also feel that common German soldiers who herded Jews into gas chambers should've been absolved of their guilt for crimes against humanity? They were just following orders, right? Hmmmm.....

Dammit, I hit a combo of keys on my keyboard and lost my post up there with replies to previous posters. No time to redo, but thanks for the great comments, peepholes!

Shack, I'm gonna have to mark this (?) and watch your video at the hizzy with a bottle o' suds.
Gladiator! Good point. It's all about perspective isn't it? I remember reading that, at the molecular level, what we perceive as a dense rock is mostly composed of empty space. How arrogant and egocentric we humans are to only consider things from our own perspective.

[looking for a correlation between the question and the title...]
For non-confrontational purposes, I'd say it is just as operative upon a person the moment he emerges from the water as it ever will be. But I'm no JW.

Nebuchadnezzar's dream image - no room for China?
by SweetBabyCheezits ina guy who used to be a jw buddy recently gave me hope that he's waking up to the wt fallacy.
he's concerned about the fact that china is becoming the next superpower, which creates issues for the statue in daniel ch.
2.. based on current jw light, there's no room for a single dominant world power after the "politically fragmented" landscape appears (the feet of mixed clay/iron).

if it ends up being Brazil, the WTBS will have to redesign their stupid dream statue.....
Mother of pearl! I'm feeling a little "patriotic fervor" for Brazil... and it seems to be emanating from my nether region.

Vamp, I see what you did there.
Freeze: Cmon we all know that everyone gets pedicures from Chinese nail salons.
You're right - a loophole. You're joking but I have no doubt the real "new light" will be equally absurd.
MFer: Please, please God let it be Brazil.....
Let's schedule a call to prayer at Texas Stadium for this ASAP. I'm in. I think we'll easily clear 30k attendees. (Eat that, Rick Perry!)
Zoiks: In my younger days, we would speculate wildly about the next King of the North, as JWs are wise not to do.
Isn't that funny? I love family speculation - it's always at least two steps crazier than what the WT writes. My wife's grandfather was the best (worst?). He could talk for hours about why "this year" is the big year. He didn't ready anything BUT between the lines.

Mad(from blog): “Soon.” They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.
Kudos (the candy bar) on that well-placed Princess Bride reference, Mad.
Also, I'm glad I read your blog entry.... I wasn't really clear on the "current light" myself, as you can see from my OP. I should've made sure I understood that before I posted. Nice blog entry on it.

Zoiks: but it would do nothing to make her doubt the WTS, nor would it stop her from giving China and everyone from China the evil eye.
How funny! What makes her so suspicious of China?
