I then felt disappointment. I was not going to live in paradise. There was no New World and I would never see my dead mother again.
That's the worst thing about learning the Truth about the Truth----To find out that it was never really about us.

Remember how it felt before you woke up. Living forever in a Righteous World.
by pistolpete ini woke up early in life.
it’s not because i was smarter than my brothers and sisters.
in fact, reflecting back, i actually don’t know why i didn’t embrace the watchtower teachings?

The spokesman I saw looked Spanish descent. If you think English colonists were brutal look at the Spanish ones.
All humans regardless of race, color,etc. are cruel, fierce, and ready to kill each other. That's just the reality of the human race. To be honest, I'm surprise we've lasted this long after we discovered Nuclear weapons.

I'm not an investor per say in stocks, but I do swing and day trade. I bought Comcast on Friday and sold before close, On Monday I shorted the same stock and sold before closing. I have a margin account so I can trade every day but normally I only have about 6 good trades a month. I bought 4,000 shares on Friday and shorted 4500 shares on Monday. For some reason I had a hard time getting the stock to short but eventually I did. Not sure why. But not bad for two days of work.

Neanderthals carb loaded, helping grow their big brains
by Disillusioned JW insee https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/05/neanderthals-carb-loaded-helping-grow-their-big-brains .
the article says in part 'the study is “groundbreaking,” says harvard university evolutionary biologist rachel carmody, who was not part of the research.
the work suggests the ancestors of both humans and neanderthals were cooking lots of starchy foods at least 600,000 years ago.

Scientists make findings and then interpret them for us, we have to be prepared for new knowledge to change those Scientist's views.
Like Covid, Masks, Locking down the world economy and Social distancing.

Do local JWs want in-person meetings back in your congregation?
by JWTom ini realize many here think that in-person meetings will return as soon as things are safe with covid.
but many acknowledge it will likely be 2022 or later when this happens.. surprisingly, many pimi jws in our congregation are not shy about saying they are fine with zoom meetings forever and do not want to go back to in-person meetings.
many speculate similar thoughts that are on this site....such as a combination of in-person and zoom meetings.

Kingdom Halls will probably reopen soon since things are starting to turn somewhat back to normal now that much of the USA population has received a Covid-19 vaccination.

the drama from 2015 wasn't that bad.

Well let's see!
There hasn't been door to door preaching for over a year
All kingdom halls have been shut for over a year
There hasn't been a convention for over a year
They aren't printing and books like they used to every year
They sent hundreds Bethelites home
Got rid of DOs
Pioneers don't have to do the required hrs.
Practicably all the young jws are leaving once they turn 18
They are selling tons of Kingdom halls every year-so they aren't expecting a Great Crowd to come in
And the child sex abuse continues
What was the question? Oh that right, "Have they stopped printing the Awake Magazine

The vast majority of the homeless ones I see living 'on the street' (many in tents) are men and I wonder why that is the case.
This guy explains how the divorce laws have tilted to favor the women. At least in the USA
Read the comments to get an idea what young American men are feeling about marriage.
Example;
A wise man once said, “love is grand, but divorce is a 100 grand” ..
Not getting married in your 20's and 30's is like missing out on buying the last ticket for the Titanic.
The wedding ring is the world’s smallest handcuff
Behind every successful man is a woman that was waiting at the finish lineNever sign a contract with someone who benefits from breaking it.
People tell me “you wanna die alone?” My reply “well I’m not trying to take anyone with me”
"They say marriage is an institution. So is Alcatraz. You can't compare marriage to prison. Yeah, you're right. The warden doesn't max out your credit card."d every billionaire there's a woman wanting to make him a millionaire !
When I was a young man I got ribbed relentlessly by my married friends for not joining the club. None of them are married today but in my case, I didn't lose half my wealth or a family business to be single.
