folks: as you probably all know, it has been speculated that the whole universe, or cosmos, started with what has been called "the big bang.
" but, i've thought up some other terms for the "bb".
how about the big boom....or, the big kaboom....or, the big explosion...the big ignition...or...the big cosmic fartation.

most people over the generations have taken pride in their heritage, nationality and country they are from.
it’s not uncommon to hear of “proud” italians and proud irish people , as an example.
are you proud of your country and your nationality or do you feel shame or indifference?.
Well, no, I do not really love it or am I proud of it. To begin, I AM a U.S. Citizen, having been born in a city in Southern California in 1954. But I am ambivalent, no, apathetic, towards the United States of America. To me, the U.S.A. just happens to be a geographic location on Planet Earth that I was born inside the boundaries of, by complete accident of birth. I did not "exist" in some "spirit world" before being born, and ask to be sent to Earth, and ask to be placed in the United States of America, when born. It all happened by complete accident, or chance. That's all. Perhaps this has come about as a result of having "anhedonia." Or, "jaded." Or, both. Maybe, I don't know. . But, having stated that, I'll still say.... Best Regards to all...

as usual there's a lot of serious shizzle being discussed on here .
i can only cope with so much serious , so here's something that's really not .
as some of you know l am getting married soon and organising the evening bash .
Since Smiddy3 mentioned the Bee Gees, how about this one from the Bee Gees: "You Should Be Dancing". That might work.
Here's one for thought, and I kid you not: It's called "Niki Nana", performed by Yanni, during many of his concerts. (Niki Nana translates to "We Are One.") I've seen many videos of his concerts, during which that piece is played, and, I gotta tell ya, if that doesn't make a person want to get up out of their seat and onto the dance floor, I don't know what will. Best Regards...

One thing that I might mention here is that whatever a person does as far as work---employment---for the purpose of earning money. Don't ever base your self-worth or self-image as a human being upon what you might happen to do for earning that money. Jobs can---and will---come and go throughout one's lifetime. So, don't become TOO attached to any one career or job. Just my thoughts---

Iamallcool: If you are asking, What do I do as a means to earn money, well, now, just like you, I am not in the work force, the work world. Being that I am in my mid-60s, I am what is called "semi-retired." About 4 years ago I decided to take early-retirement Social Security benefits. I also receive a couple of small pensions from some companies that I once worked for. And, I receive some money from a person who rents a spare room in my residence.
Buuuuuut-----for most of my working years, I was involved in clerical, general office, administrative work. I have done other things---from working for a fellow JW in his small janitorial service, to working as a delivery driver. But, in my clerical/office work I have been a Mail Room Clerk, a Data-Entry Clerk, a Document Control Clerk, an Envelope Sorting Clerk...all kinds of things. Even an Office Receptionist!
Now, eventually, I might have to return to the work force to supplement my Social Security benefits. But, I DO NOT want to get back into full-time employment, only part-time employment. I have done ENOUGH full-time employment in my working years to realize that it is no longer fun and enjoyable. At least, not for me, it isn't.

i recently found this image of jesus, with a caption, a reminder of past stupidity in believing that kind, loving jesus, would (on behalf of old yhwy) look after me when he 99% of the people on this earth.. .
in case you're wondering i found it on a pinterest page.. proverbs 8, of course.

Folks: I DO realize, that in the "animal kingdom", the animal world, all animals act by "instinct", and their whole role is to eat, sleep, poop, and have sex and reproduce. They don't have a conscience, or think or reason on matters. So, that's "Intelligent Design" for ya. But, then again...There are many human beings, past and present who don't have a conscience. Best Regards, Everyone.

That video of the Komodo dragons had me wondering? Who was doing the videoing of that incident, and how did they get so close without being attacked also? Just wondering about that.
Anyway, viewing that, it further underscores in my mind the fact that surviving in the "animal kingdom" is gross, disgusting and despicable. I mean, animals that are carnivorous don't even kill the victim first, and drag it off to their abode, cut it up into fine pieces, start a fire, roast it, pour barbecue sauce on it, and then consume it, taking the time to enjoy the flavor of their meal. Noooooo, they eat it raw, right there, while the other animal that is being eaten is still living, to some extent. And, they just "gulp it down" without taking the time to enjoy the meal. Gross, disgusting. And, some would say that that is all god's master plan for animals to survive. Nice plan, eh? Best Regards, All...

active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.
active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .
inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.
For me, it is Choice Number 4. Since 1988, when I came to the full, complete realization that I, as a human being, have NO spiritual hunger, no spiritual cravings, that need to be satiated or satisfied by ANY religious belief structure.
