  How Scary Are Circuit Overseers Now?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  back in the day, when the co came to the congregation, it was quite stressful for the elders and often, the rank and file.

  .

  is it as big a deal as it used to be?.

  I can only think of two examples why someone would be afraid of other human beings:

  1) They can cause you or loved ones serious bodily harm or death because you are defenseless against them for whatever reason

  2) They have the power to influence others to cause you or loved ones serious bodily harm or death against which you find yourself defenseless.

  Since a CO would doubtfully bring about either why be afraid? The most he can do is threaten your psychological well being or create a harsh social environment. Both of these are circumstantial/environmental and possible to overcome. It's up to you to change your circumstances even when the prospect of removing yourself from these circumstances/environment seems daunting.

  Theory of Evolution and humanity are moving in parallel, and in opposite direction too!

  by iconoclastic in

  proponents of evolution theory was comfortable with their easiest method of induction that says something like this: i saw a blind man in the us, then in russia, then in australian, then in africa ..., hence all men are blind.

  yet proofs are abundant for the decline (opposite of evolution) we experience globally!.

  1) most humans declined into greed, the result of which is climate change which has the potential to wipe out all life from the earth.

  USA National debt hits 18 trillion dollars

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  three weeks ago, the citizens in beijing, china paraded tiananmen square, celebrating the milestone with hugs, jubilant cheers, and singing.

  over 600,000 chinese citizens assembled in tiananmen square to watch the u.s. debt clock mounted above the forbidden city reach the landmark sum of $18 trillion dollars.. you could stay home and watch it on tv, but its much more exciting to be here with people from all over the country to celebrate this momentous day, said beijing resident xiao bu, noting that he always arrives in the early morning to stake out a good location in the square every time americas debt rises by another trillion.. i remember my father taking me to see the $5 trillion mark so long ago, and now im bringing my own children here to take part in the festivities.

  its really a special part of our nations culture.. while most revelers left shortly after the rollover, an estimated 100,000 reportedly decided to just wait around in the square until the clock struck $19 trillion.. at the moment, the u.s national debt had decreased by a small amount since the rollover, amounting to just under 18 trillion dollars in debt.. in 2008, the u.s standard debt clock that towered new york city had reached 10 trillion.

  I stuffed my life up becoming a witness when I was 17, and I'm nearing 80, so I'm not heading for an illustrious career anywhere, just hanging out being a bloody old nuisance, and enjoying annoying some people.

  Peony:

  Just view them as people, only on a lower level than you since you at least had the guts and intelligence to face the fact that their cult is a crock of deceitful, insidious crap. See Them for what they are, nothing more. How do I cope with them? I first try and talk TATT to them and if they show no interest I scoff at and ridicule them whenever I'm afforded the opportunity.

  I hardly drink anymore but for me nothing beats an ice cold Red Bridge beer on a hot day. If I want to relax and unwind a double Laphroaig single malt. When we're in the Caribbean I do enjoy the occasional Mojito.

  My 67 Year Old Elder Brother Is Depressed Because The Younger Elders Are Taking Over

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  he was the school overseer but they relieved him of that to allow younger elders the privilege of the job.

  now he is depressed and actually shed tears, believing his worth has diminished.

  Buddhism Anyone?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, i have recently been delving in buddhism and i must say it all makes sense!

  like, the philosophies and ideas are what i've always believed but could never put a name to.

  for example, they don't believe in god, they teach acceptance of all faiths, that peace can be achieved - not by changing other people - but by changing yourself, that everyone has goodness in themselves, that happiness can be gained internally (not externally as a gift from god), and that life is temporary so we should enjoy it!

  LoveUniHateExams:

  LOL. No but that would be funny - the Dalai Lama can only be a lady if he is reincarnated as one. Both because it would be a revered lady, but also insinuate that he he had some bad karma as the Dalai Lama in his previous life.
