The Cyrus Cylinder will be at the MFAH (Houston) for most of May and part of June. Will be attending several lectures related to the exhibition.
Looking forward to it, usually am able to have further discussions with the lecturers.
Would be glad to field any questions anyone might have concerning the CC, or any related topics.

"i ate a ton of cheese at lunch today, but still had an easy bm around 5:00. must be jehovah's hand.".
"the whole world is persecuting my religion yet i was able to drive to the meeting today and no one tried to kill me.
must be jehovah's hand.
Defianttruth- LOL, thats my kind of humor!
Well done!
age-old question.
complicated x1,000 if one or both of the persons is married/in a serious relationship.. i am skeptical.
very skeptical.

I think that it is possible for it to be strictly platonic. But you have to know how the other person is viewing it.
For many lunch is just lunch, but dinner is a date.
Sorry, not much help. Hang in there!

in an effort to keep their delusion alive it is only natural for them hate something that lifts the vails of their delusion and lay it barren.
their hate is transfered to the faithful rank and file and manifested in their forbidding it to the young who will surely see the ignorance of their delusion.
narcissistic delusions of divine appointment are resisted at the expense of the young.. they hate higher education to the same extent they hate psychiatry because both tread on their delusion and identify it in clear terms..
So true- frankiespeakin!
Both psychiatry and advanced education can lead to questioning their status and legitimacy.
One teaches you how to think and the other helps you to understand why you think the way you do.
That's so baaaaaaad!
"i don't mind having questions that i can't answer, but i don't like having answers that i can't question.".
somebody posted that jewel here and i love it!.
Same here!
i'm new here, so i thought i'd start with an introduction and summary of my life, for the most part.
i have a tendancy to ramble ridiculously, so bear with me :) and this will be all over the place as thoughts take over the keyboard.. i was born a 5th generation jw.
i never really "felt" it, but was book smart about it.
Welcome-Stubborn Disbeliever!
And of course- Peace!
sensible, safe sex, in my opinion, should be engaged in.
because, as you get older and are ready to settle down, you will look at your potential sole mate, not for sexual reasons, but for what they have to offer mentally and if they are compatible.
when religion restricts this, and yuo must marry to have sex, i believe that you doom a marriage at the outset, because these young folks marry out of lust, only to have the rose colored blinders pulled off later, and regret the entire arrangement... .
Exactly- Simply assuming that having sex before marriage would make marriages more stable, happy and enduring ignores the root problem.
The twisted and distorted moral education provided poisons any natural and normal expressions that can a couple are going to experience together.
Yet another example where the borg leadership (repressed, uneducated amateurs) completely screw up people's lives, and accept zero responsibility for their actions.
once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.
he named each song after a person in our family.
this is the one he named heather.
