My First Birthday.....
by The Marvster ini awoken today and realised immidiately i'm 44 today... and after 3 years of being out, decided to acknowledge my birthday.... i'm off out to treat myself to a big hearty breakfast with cup of tea in the local weatherspoon's by the massive pond full of weird bird-life, later today i'm giving myself a gift of a 90 minute relaxation session in a float tank down by canary wharf in london.... only really have 2 close friends (it's a slow process trusting people agian) and they probably won't be able to see me today, but i'm sure i'll have a belated surprise from them both.... the first thing i did when i remembered was to rush to the computer, connect to the web and put on stevie wonder's 'happy birthday', as i listen to it, tears stream down my face... all those years of my life stolen ' but..... i'm free....'.

More on the ducks etc:
Canadian geese arrive from time to time and a few pairs have taken up permanent residence.
There are numerous ducks including Mallards, Aylesburys, Red Crested Pochards, Coots and Moorhens.

Thanks all, this really made my day, Literally haven't had people wishing me happy birthday before so it's a really nice pleasure... thank you..
stuckinarut2, no bedheadings yet, though I've been keeping a lookout
carla... my 'identifying wildlife' capabilities are very poor, there are lots of ducks, but I also looked up the website of the park and lake area to see what they had to say... here's what they said...
There are some 47 different species are either permanent or occasional residents. The birds that attract the most attention are the swans, but there are also several species of geese.
The only ones I recognise were the malards, and a small black duck with red beak, don't know what they are called though... a lovely place to just relaxxx
thanks again all..

Today's watchtower: obey us, no matter what
by Tornintwo intoday's watchtower:.
obey us, obey us even when it seems strange, obeying our man made hierarchy equates to obeying god, sacrifice your own interests, work for us, don't be independent, put your own interests aside, obey some more, preach for us, build for us, enjoy it, obey some more, forgive when we are jerks to you and mistreat you, accept your changed assignment even if it seems cruel and doesn't make sense, don't complain if we move you (eg.
) because you might have to move in the new world, remember you are being trained to obey, remember to put your own interests aside, that's the way we are designed to live - it will only make you happy!

“Recreation and relaxation have their place, but the pleasure derived from them is increased when we put our relationship with Jehovah first”....
what a load of F***ing bullshit...
Are you telling me that when I'm sat in the Coffee shop on a Sunday morning (not having to go knock on people's door in field service only to be rejected) after having had my large breakfast at the pub where I was able to watch ducks, swans, and other beautiful birds in the enormous pond with fountain, now in the coffee shop with book in hand and at total peace, sipping my caramel latte, are you saying it would have 'felt' better if I put JEHOVAH first????? oh come on!
Does 'putting Jehovah first' have some miraculous effect on your sensory organs? like they become more sensitive and you feel the pleasurable sensations much more powerfully???? Does this mean that if you are thinking about Jehovah whilst having sex, it's the best sex ever??? because the stronger your relationship with Jehovah, the more powerful your pleasure sensations become? I'm laughing out loud here, honestlyl...
when I go to my maths class or Jazz piano class and leave the class exhilerated...
or when I sit at the piano and play something beautiful, am I to believe a putting my relationship with Jehovah first could have made the sensations I felt, even better? who the hell are they trying to kid here? What a load of BULL-SHAT....

OMG... I face palmed about 4 times reading this... but then again, 'the laying on of hands', I think a few JW elders could take some lessons from this guy.... even just a few lessons about human affection....
Right up until the Starbucks moment (before the conversation started) I was thinking, 'Gosh, that is exactly like a typical Saturday or Sunday morning chillout session I have practically every week....
Was great fun reading that....
thanks

by berrygerry insomewhat just posted a link to www.jw2016.borg (remove the b ) which is an up-and-running site for 2016 dub conventions.the borg has also registered jw2017, jw2018, jw2019, and jw2020 (all .org)however, they have not reg'd jw2021.therefore, the conclusion in the title.

The Monsters the WTBTS Created
by Coded Logic ingrowing up, the jws at the kingdom hall taught me that perfection is the only standard via which things can ever be measured.
"well yeah modern medicine is great - but it's pointless because they can't save everyone.
and they can't stop people from dying.

This SMUG arrogance we were all indoctrinated with.... I'm now finding it pretty difficult to form relationships with 'worldly people', now that I am one myself, still burning away my 'I'm better than they next guy' attitude... so much learning to do...
the WTSGB tries to think it and the org's members are better than anybody else.....
so toxic, dysfunctional and anti-human...
