Sadly yes this is it.
In our obscurity – in all this vastness – there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
- Carl Sagan
what do you sincerely think?
do you nurture any hope?.
i googled it and pretty much my understanding is the same as what i imagine.
no one really knows, your guess is as good as the next.
interesting thought to consider imo..

I would say parts of my life were.
Now I have 2 amazing daughters which was a major reason we left instead of just perpetually being a PIMO.
Being in for about 5 decades meant losing out on the life I should have had.
Has meant losing just about all my friends I thought I had.
I am messed up in many ways because of the cult.
I think the hardest is having really believed in Everlasting life, and now knowing I will die really die in a few decades.
Because of the 2 kids I have that are my world, I would not redo my life if I could though.
hypocrites!
i know we have spoken of this before, but in light of the appaling november 2017 jwdotorg broadcast, these scriptures just need to be highlighted!.
please re-read them, and tell me if they don't apply to the society !?!.
i saw an article in the news yesterday that laws are going to be passed subjecting the police to being recorded by anyone while performing their duty or enforcing the law and encourages citizens to sue if they interfere.
some law enforcement agents become angry and confiscate recording devices from people recording them while making an arrest, etc.. it does seem that the work that the police and other government agents do is public and not private or confidential so there should be nothing to hide from the cameras.
on the other hand, how can one distinguish being shot by a camera or by a weapon until one is hit?.

we still get regular calls by elders - at least every 2 weeks.
i can handle them.
