  by tottenkopf in

  i see ken flodine spelling saying in the new zoom assembly that you should meditate.

  when i was in the cult that was a huge no no.

  it was called blanking your mind and the demons could take control.

  Well, there is a certain kind of "meditation" that I have known about for the past 20 years or so, called "mindfulness meditation." (And I try to incorporate it into my own life) With that kind of meditation, a person, doesn't go through life, and its routines, on "automatic pilot", but uses all of their given senses to become "mindful", or aware, of everything that they do. In the past few years, there have been special publications at stores that explain mindful meditation, and its benefits in life. I wonder if THAT is the kind of meditation the meets with the approval of the WTBTS? Could be, could be....Best Regards, all.

  JW's and the National Anthem/Flag

  by Anony Mous in

  one thing we were always taught in the past is how we should sit down and pray (kneel) to jehoober whenever we were at an event where they played the national anthem.

  we had to actively disrespect the flag and anthem and be no part of the world, because we were our own country with jesus as king.. given kneeling/sitting for the national anthem is now the favorite pastime of the far-left and if you do so, you get associated with democrats, how do jehovah's witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?.

  Well, Folks, the way that I understood it, while growing up, was that we were NOT to DISRUPT the Pledge of Allegiance, or the playing of the National Anthem. That, as we were told, would be showing disrespect for the ceremonies. In other words, those who chose to salute the flag and pledge allegiance, or rise during the National Anthem, were not to be interfered with. That was their RIGHT to do so. . It was also our right to refrain from participating, but refrain in a quiet respectful manner. I hope that helps.....Best Regards, all.....Titch.

  Just as a side-note, here in the U.S., there has been a publication, produced by the Time Magazine organization, at stores, a "commemorative" issue regarding the 45th anniversary of the release of "Jaws". I bought a copy. I also remember back in 2000, "People" Magazine had a special issue to remember the movie, and stories about the cast members, and where they were at the time. That year was the 25th anniversary of the movie. Best Regards, Folks...

  Well, there are two that were the "creation" of Mr. David E. Kelly: Picket Fences (my all-time favorite), and The Practice. (Mr. Kelly, being an attorney in a previous life, wrote several episodes of those shows, based upon his legal expertise.) From years gone by, The Fugitive, The Invaders, and The FBI, which were "Quinn Martin productions." And,, how about from the late 60s and early 70s: The Andy Williams Show, and from 50 years ago, The Ray Stevens Show (aka, Andy Williams presents The Ray Stevens Show) I'm sure I'll think of some more, as the day progresses. Best Regards, All

  Aunt Jemima and Mrs.Buttersworth Need To Be Destroyed!

  we have to get rid of these racist relics.

  i propose that we destroy all these bottles of syrups and burn every pancake box !

  we need to get rid of anything that reminds us of anything negative concerning slavery.. in boston they decapitated the head of christopher columbus and got rid of his statue.

  Whatever the origin of the Aunt Jemima brand is or isn't---this past week I bought a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup. When it's completely empty, I'll wash it and keep it as a kind of "memento", when the brand is discontinued. It could be worth thousands of dollars about 10 years from now. Who knows......Best Regards all.

  With me, it would be Yanni, and Enya. Any music from those two recording artists sit very well with me. But, I also DO enjoy music from the 60s and 70s, since I grew up in that era. Best Regards, all....

  I thought that I'd bring out a "side-note" regarding the incident that happened in Minneapolis, MN, and the results that the incident has brought to the U.S. You know, what with the modern technology of cell-phone cameras, with which people---including law enforcement officers---can be recorded, and broadcast, far and wide via the Internet, you would think that law enforcement officers would be VERRRRRY careful about how they conduct themselves in carrying out their duties every day. I mean, Deven Chauven, didn't he know that he was being observed, watched, recorded on a cell-phone camera used by someone of the "citizenry"? Or, did it not matter to him? I wonder. What do you Folks think? Best Regards...

  Should You Be Required To Wear A Coronavirus Mask?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some towns require everyone going outside to wear one.

  one massachusetts city requires anyone from 5 up to wear a mask.

  some cities require masks and have shut down parks and sports playing while others in a nearby town have no such restrictions.

  Minimus: I agree with you on that point. If the governmental agencies require that we should all wear masks, while out in public, then FREE masks should be provided.....AND, they should let us know WHERE they can be obtained. I don't think that's too much ask...Best Regards
