Earthquake in N.Z.
by smiddy ini guess the witnesses are rejoicing over the death and destruction of the latest earthquake in n.z.as proof of the imminent coming of armageddon,and their deliverance into the "new world system of things" i can just see it now ,the kh`s in nz will be filled to overflowing in the next month,......then in six months later it will be back to the status quo.. p.s when jesus said their would be" earthquakes in one place after another" couldn`t he have identified these areas for the faithfull ?
so at least beleivers would have been spared the trauma ?
of course non beleivers would have suffered the consequences,but why should beleivers suffer also ?.

I think Fred Franz had the ability to hook people.But as we know he used for ill purposes.Like I said before,it is sad to think no Jw knows their true history.I think if the Witness knew the truth about Russel, Rutherford and Knorr.The religion would crumble before our eyes and the governing body would lose control.

This is true we have been stripped of our freedom.To only become part of a cosumer corprate culture just like Brave New World.I often wonder how can I be my own person if everybody is controled by the syestem.

It is sad to think that many Jw's including myself at one point had no idea who this man was.I was talking to one of my friends about Fred Franz and my friend said "Who is Fred Franz? and I told him it is sad that both him and I were witness at one point and did not even know who Fred Franz or even who Nathan Knorr.If you do not know the history of your own religion, you then should seriously your religion.
I am glad I did my research and left that wack job religion those governing are crazy and legends only in their own mind.I think more information should be made public about the truth of the witness and all the lies.So that people can see the truth

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
by d ini was reading aldous huxley's brave new world and thinking,this is what society is becoming.especially since nowadays people want to be distracted with the use of the internet and social networking sites such as facebook and twitter.i like how it says " what we desire will destroy us" because in the grand scheme of things.
it most likely will and that is a very disturbing thoought.it is shocking how he wrote the book in 1932 and it was written during the 1920's, all of what he is sayiing is becoming a scary reality..

If you really want to be freaked out read Brave New world Revisted which was written in 1958 that will rock your world.Alot of what Huxley has to say is frightingly true about our society.Just think aobut Facebook and Twitter and even this site and how it is used to distract us and control us.
There are alot of parallels with Brave New world and today.

I this quote from Fight Club
I like Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
Story of my generations's life.

I agree this man would see propehcy in about everything.People like him are no diffrent than say Harold Camping.The talk is weird and does not make much sense.
