Millions Now Living by Punkofnice
by SecretSlaveClass ini recieved the book on friday afternoon and finished it last night.
i thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly experiences you won't find in the yearbook.
my wife is now reading it (she was never a zombie) and is finding the terms used by jws and their meanings in simple terms very helpful since she reads this forum even though she is not a participant.

Highly recommendeded particularly for those who are interested in joining the Org or are curious about it. The humor in it is quite the French tickle. Worth every cent!
The other book is Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin, a homework assignment from professor Cofty. I'm half way into it and loving it. If you have an interest in human physiology and it's evolution this book is a must. It's super informative and I love the author's writing style. It's already answered a lot of questions. Thanks Cofty!

I was around 7 yrs old. Were were attending an assembly at the Kings Park soccer stadium in Durban, South Africa. It was break time and the toilets were full with waiting lines. I had the runs so I ran with my hand crammed up between my clenched but cheeks, all the way to the edge of the practice field where I found a tree and let loose. Fortunately for me I was all alone but I did feel guilty for using a few pages out of my song book to wipe my butt. When my mom asked where my pages were I didn't lie and she just glared at me and reminded me how poor we were and how much a replacement would cost our family ... the equivalent of three loaves of bread or something. -

freemindfade4 minutes agoNo offense to my modern Hebrew speakers... but for me it is not the prettiest language. Arabic either.
I think we should all speak Italian when we get to the paradise petting zooI want the universal language to be San Bushman so I can laugh at people trying to get the clicks right.

I'm a bigot. I hate everyone who seek to harm others, socially, psychologically or physically regardless of their tools, be it religion, politics, crime or the individual choice to do so.
On poverty, crime and brutality:
no one can deny that these three are supreme bedfellows. I have been assigned to countries fom Europe to South America and Asia. There is no boubt that where there is poverty there is sub-par education (if any) and therefore irrational thinking and behavior. All too often crime and brutality are revered, seen as currency for respect and leadership. FMF has a very valid point in that crime is the primary concern and therefore how to eradicate it, vs. the second concern which are the tools for criminals.
Please bare in mind I am referring to crime in general, not specific crimes like rampage shooting.

How does being a communist make you wicked? That makes no sense. Did she ever hurt anyone? Did she ever break any laws? The McCarthy era was was run by anti-communists who were themselves sadistic and self-righteous fear mongers. I'm no communist but if it's what someone wants to adopt as their ideology/main philosophy, that is their right. And if she chose to worship Satan that's also her religious right. You're willing to ignore all her positive contributions and put her leanings front-and-center. That's pretty sad.
