july 25 2013. couple died in murder-suicide, police say.

suffolk police say the couple found dead in their nansemond river drive home wednesday were victims of a murder-suicide.. they have been identified as lucy celenia perry, 67, and her husband dennis joseph perry, 64.. autopsies showed dennis perry shot his wife before turning the gun on himself, city spokeswoman diana klink said in a press release.

Rebel8 asked, " So shooting someone is not foul play?"

In my opinion, if they are a consenting adult, it could be an act of mercy. I don't agree with the dogma that extended suffering refines the soul. We do not have souls, and we are not souls. We are made of meat and we are born, suffer, and die like meat. Suicide can be a rational way to cheat the reaper.

Dennis and Lucy probably realized that their religion had lied to them and tricked them into believing a fairy-tale. With no everlasting life in Paradise as restored vital young adults to look forward to, they were lefy staring at the unspeakable horror of disease and decrepitude laid out like a banquet-table before them.

"Eat your fill," ghod said to the banquet-table. The table snarled in silent reply.

2034 for the benefit of the arithmetically impaired, is 120 years after 1914. 1914 is the year King Jesus is said (by the WTB&TS) to have begun to rule. 120 years is supposedly the amount of time Noah spent selling subscrptions to AWAKE! to the antediluvians. As per the WTB&TS algorithm, take two unrelated numbers, combine them and voila! "new light" shines forth.

The WTB&TS began making squeaks about 2034 almost a decade ago.

Terry, I'm glad you didn't catch your error in the SUBJECT: line until it was too late.

Angsty post

i'm not far away from sending out a bunch of letters to all the jw's who i knew when i was one.

the letters are the accumulation of the last few months of research etc.

i've put a lot of effort into wording things just right so that that the jw's don't instantly throw it in the trash.

Nathan Natas

I favor activism.

Certainly it is FOR SURE that no one will benefit IF YOU DON"T DO IT.

If you do it, it *might* help someone. It will certainly give you something to put on your accomplishments list.

It is best that you do this with NO expectation that anyone will respond.

That way you won't be disappointed, but may be pleased if just one person responds.

Your letters do not need the approval of anyone else. They are YOUR letters.

Consider the $150 a gift to the Universe.

My best wishes to you.

How to act crazy enough not to have to go in FS or to meetings but not crazy enough to get committed to a mental health facility

by hoser in

i was thinking if i acted a little off but not too far off the elders would tell me i'm not welcome in the door to door work.

i wonder if this would work.

there is a watchtower or awake article somewhere saying that a mentally ill person may be excused from the meetings and field service if his illness affected others.

Nathan Natas

--- begin imaginary TV commercial ---

"...I strongly suggest you investigate the advantages offered by Tourette's syndrome.

How much would you enjoy blurting out "FUCKING BULLSHIT!" during thr prater to open the meeting?

Imagine "the freedom of the sons of God" you would enjoy by not having any control over your internal censor? Would you like to say "LIAR!" when the most reverend Circuit Servant verbally abuses the flock? Tourette's syndrome offers you all this and MORE...

Prepare yourself. Look up Tourette's syndrome and get to know what it does and how YOU can claim to have been "diagnosed" with it. Elders never ask for a medical reference, because they are guided by Jehovah's Magic Spirit. Invite the Reverend Elders to your home and pepper then with obscenities while they attempt to exorcise you. Drop your voice to a deep demonic growl and watch them run from your home!

Yes, Tourette's can offer you a BETTER TOMORROW! Ask your doctor to diagnose you with Tourette's."

Are We Approaching A Class Action Suit For Damages By Those Who Have Left The Watchtower Corporation Over Hate Speach, Enforced Disfellowshipping And Defamation Of Character ?

by frankiespeakin in

i think it is comming in the future.

the evidence is piling up on the internet, assembly talks, letters to body of elders, and an increasing number of those being harmed by the cruel treatment and lies of the watchtower corporation that are clearly a form of malice.. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/malice.

1. a desire to harm others or to see others suffer; extreme ill will or spite.2.

Yes, that's what we need - more noise, less signal. Perfect.

Superman vs Jesus

by jam in

my sister told me yesterday, guess the sunday sermon.

given at my church, superman.

the minister was making.

Nathan Natas

Superman was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, high school students living in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933.

I have always wondered if Siegel (or Shuster) used the hebrew word El (Jor-El, Kal-El) intentionally. How much of an influence was Nietzsche?

Why so much Christian iconology?

I'd love to read Leolaia's thoughs on Superman.

Anyone who's seen 'Man of Steel', can we talk about SPOILER-related stuff?

by sd-7 in

if the title of the thread wasn't enough, spoiler alert.. spoiler alert.. .

okay...so...that said, i haven't seen the movie, which would be a paradox except that i read the novelization.

so...how'd you feel about the way it ended?

Nathan Natas

OK...

SPOILER ALERT!

...he's from Krypton ( the planet not the inert gas)

and

... he's Super.

But seriously... I enjoy any retelling of the Ubermensch tale, but others I saw the film with felt id didn't do much in terms of character development, and it took itself a >bit< too seriously. Compare it to Chris Reeve's first movie, which had a good sense of humor. I already knew the story of Jesus Superman, so I didn't miss a complete re-tellin of the tale. I consider it a fair addition to the modern legends.

I DID feel the abundant religious references a bit too much, but easy enough to disregard.

Q.: Are We Approaching A Class Action Suit For Damages By Those Who Have Left The Watchtower Corporation Over Hate Speach, Enforced Disfellowshipping And Defamation Of Character ?

A.: Sure, sure we are. [Patronizing pat on the head.] It's as close as the inside of your eyelid! Even as we speak, a consortium of dozens of XJW millionaires and billionaires are meeting in Manhattan Beach CA, to work out the details. When this thing breaks - probably around October of this year, everyone - EVERYONE, even the Pope - will be stunned into temporary unconsciousness and "lose" 13 minutes from that day. Yes, this is THAT BIG.

Mark your calendars; it is a matter of only weeks and months, not years.

Be sure to wear head protection.
