In my opinion, most dubs stay the course to keep what they imagine as control, when in fact they are being controled.
To admit they are wrong, would mean the DEATH OF THEIR EGO, and they fear,or should I say, (the EGO) fears that!
i havent' been to kingdom hall in over a year, and i haven't talked to any dubs other than my parents for three years now.
i was wondering if anybody still had any contacts in the truth and how the average dub is feeling about the immediacy of armageddon?.
i remember growing up that this was an omnipresent motivation, especially when the whole "peace and security" thing happened in the early nineties, and we were expecting "sudden destruction" after the collapse of the soviet union.. but safe to say, i'm not worried about armageddon anymore - and i was wondering what the feeling was in the congregations.... czar

there is one thought, which if spoken , even privately to yourself, instantly.
transforms you into an ex-witness.. it is:.
"what the hell was i thinking?".
My thought was, "Anything is better than this!"

I don't know who is the smartest,but I can say, "I am perfectly ignorant!"
the fear of rejection has once again controlled my life and my actions in an unintentional act of self destruction brought on by how i was raised to view life.
i have come to the conclusion that i will probably be battling this psychological whirlpool of self sabotage for the rest of my life and i do not think i have the ability to completely eliminate it.
talking about it here is a start.
You off yourself & we lose a brilliant mind & the Borg wins, please stick around!
november 26 was my birthday.
i missed having people say happy birthday like they do when they know someone here is another year older.. minimus started a thread a while back, when i was here for a few days, about what this board means and if you thought the people here were your friends.
i've been here a while, and have told some of my stories to you, but i haven't been totally honest.
April, you are needed & wanted!
We have all been there in some way.
my youngest son brought this article to my attention.
very, very interesting.
it was in the seattle pi, yesterday, december 2.. student risks ire of mormons.
Mulan, how about those "golden tablets" Joe Smith found, what a hoot!
miraculous, the world of spirit and the nature of consciousness.
it is a realm not.
limited by simple reductionism or the tendency to see life as nothing more than random.
As to the Borg,"...........inside they are full of DEAD MENS BONES"!
do you still hope to live forever?
The plains Indians (Lakota, I think) said the white men suffered from a, Pathetic hope, & what was that hope?
That they,the whites, thought they would be happy, if they were rich & famous.
the calcium factor amazon reviews .
i have been blessed and directed by spirit to discover a miraculous cure for debilitating disease and the negative effects of old age.. pleae read the reviews of the book "calcium factor" for a detailed explanation .. the answer to living a long life of 100+ years in good health is explained by doctor barefoot as mega doses of calcium at least 3 or more times the officially recommended daily requirement.
you can find drug store brands as i did of oyster shell calcium (qty 300- 500mg tablets) for about $20) i have been taking 6 to 10 tablets daily for about two weeks now and already am a completely changed man.
