  50 Years since the first moon landing

  in july of 1969, i was 16 years old and was pretty excited by the prospect that the us would shortly land a man on the moon.

  however, i remember, vividly and older brother at the time confidently stating that man would never walk on the moon, quoting psalms 115 - "as for the heavens, they belong to jehovah.

  but the earth he has given to the sons of man.

  Pale blue dot. Best thing ever written.

  To bad the bible writers were not as insightful.

  Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

  The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

  Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

  The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

  It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

  -- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

  Do You Ever Have Dreams You’re Still a JW?

  last night i dreamt i was at a circuit assembly; i even had a walk-on speaking part early in the morning program.

  i spent the rest of the day “working” the event in a security detail.

  the dream lasted until the entire day’s program was over.

  YES, well Kinda.

  I have dreams about Assemblies mostly (very strange ones), and sometimes ones at my old hall. I am not a JW, but sometimes know one knows it for some reason.

  Sometimes I have Talks, and I am wondering how can I give a talk if I am shunned?

  One that sticks out, was at the Jersey City Assembly Hall, and I had the public talk (which I have had), and I have to check into the Convention office with the CO. The Stanley turns into this maze of connecting rooms and offices, and I am wandering around "in jeans" looking for the CO and trying to avoid people I know. I get the OK but I am freaked out because I was not told who I introduce after me. Also I apparently am not really prepared on my talk...

  It was very very lifelike when I had it, and very strange. Ended when I was giving the talk, and then walked off a set of steps right into the audience. The Place I was in didnt resemble the Stanley except for colors inside.

  So bizarre.

  I have very bizarre JW dreams in general, a mish mosh of stuff.
