I influenced a few.
And the karma came back and bit me bad.
I think I am paid up and even or in a positive karma position.
in my nearly 60 years in the religion, although i "studied" with a good number, i cannot think of any who could lay the blame at my door for being in the religion today.. one lad possibly might, i studied with him briefly as he was trying to get off drugs, he then moved away, and then married a "sister" a few years later, and is still in, but i doubt he would blame me, i hope not.. of the others i studied with none are still in, the last i heard of one of them, a weirdo kid, now weirdo man, was when he was arrested for "flashing" in a local spot frquented by doggers etc.
i guess i was a useless "tutor".
as it happens, that is one of the things i am proud to be a failure at, getting people to join a cult.. i always tried to not do proper r.v's, and never suggested a "study" to anyone, but some, like weirdo, were shoved my way by elders who didn't want the work themselves.. how many are you guilty of getting in to the cult ?.

caption:" a few sisters were out in the tract campaign in clearwater, florida this morning and placed a tract with wrestling personality hulk hogan.
I have liveed in Florida, the Clearwater area since 81.
I have met and seen Hulk many times.
He is always friendly and will talk.
When he and Randy Savage were fighting in the media.
they would be in the gym everyday talking to each other and out to dinner at the Hurricane.
I used to see Hulk so often that he would wave to me when he saw me.
ok ok i didnt really find it but i'm pretty sure i know where it is.
its the same place the sumerians called a holy land, and a garden of paradise.
this place is also where ninlil goddess of air lived.
The flood would have changed the topography of the earth.
Just because a river was mentioned before the flood doesn't mean it is the same river
in the same place after the flood.
They would have used the same name for a different river.
Many places in the United States are named after places in other parts of the world.
But if there was not a world wide flood you could be right.
But if there was not a world wide flood why study the bible?
sorry for such a depressing question, but i was moved by a picture i saw of the consequences.
( a woman carrying her child) and i realised:-.
a) it was a civillian population.. b) i don't see how a nuclear holocaust can ever be right.. c) they could have bombed tokyo where all the generals lived but chose hiroshima.. d) the irony after the bombing america conceeded to many of japans terms.. your opinion would be valued..
Bart. I got my info from Glencoe World History copyright 2005
Page 729 pp3
"The attack of the Lusitania is often credited with drawing the United States into World
War 1. However, President Woodrow Wilson -though he had vowed to hold Germany responsible fot its
submaine attacks-Knew that the American people were not ready to go to war.
It was almost 2 years before the United States jonined the conflict in Europe."
The way I see it.
It always takes some time to prime the pump.
You have to propogandize the people that takes time.
Especially back then when informatin travelled slow.

this pisses me off, after all the news agencies that point out that things such as the ferguson shooting were a white man killing a black "kid" (18 years old and if an 18 yr old is accused of commiting a sex crime then suddenly they are a "grown man").
now look at this story from ny times, "a 32-year-old marine was beaten by a group of men outside of a mississippi restaurant after he was warned it wasn't safe for white people in the wake of the michael brown killing in missouri," .
so black on white crime, i guess they can't say "a group of black men", it just has to be a group of men?
Jews seem better adjusted over their treatment in WWII,
than blacks are from slavery 150 years ago.
Whatever.
What the blacks went through was real and documented.
What the jews went through was a story written by the victors.
Part of political manuevering to establish Israel and steal the land from Palestine.
A jew doesnt have to be a jew unless he wants to put that chip on his shoulder.
A black has no choice but to be a black.
i'm a single hispanic guy in my mid 30s living by myself in suburban america.
i own a home in the kind of neighborhood where you have to get hoa permission to do just about anything, including chopping down a tree.
i'm a white collar worker and lead a pretty boring life.
I have lived in the same neighborhood since 81.
I will wave and say hi to my neighbors but I don't talk to them.
I like it that way.
My wife will talk to many of the neighbors and I like that also.
I have never been overly friendly to my neighbors even since childhood.
I don't know if it is because I was always a witness and they were always of the evil world.
Or I am just not very friendly to strangers.
I think I am just not very friendly and I always have something to do.
That is why I never liked meetings.
It was like burning daylight and I never felt I had time to kill, foolishly.
Also I have lived in Florida since 81 which is a state of transplants with no strong
regional culture or oneness.
Since 81, I have probably met less than 10 people,
excluding children, who were born in florida.

This whole black, white, Jewish, etc thing.
Is the government using the Machavelian principal via the governmet controlled
New media.
It's all about dividing and conquering.
All politicans of any worth or merit use this principal.
It is like politics 101.
Also divide and conquer creates a need and fills it.
It creates a need for government intervention.
And when the government intervenes the citizens loose rights and freedom.
It is what it is.
Sit back and enjoy the show.
The media creates a story by reporting a false story and then runs with it.
It makes a lot of money via advertising dollars.
People will buy papers and use other forms of media to get information
regarding the erroneous original story.
In many ways it is irresponsible, shoddy journalism.
All this terrible journalism over the years has given the black folks an erroneous complex.
And white folks too for that matter.
Hence the divide and conquer of the machevallian concept/ principal.
i was having a chat with an elder and couple of friends regarding apostates and how to protect ourselves and funnily how to identify them!.
during the discussion the elder mentioned: jehovah's witnesses is most attacked religion in the world.
there are no other religions that are under the spotlight.
I would say Islam is the most attacked religion in the world and rightly so.
The JW's will never be able to compete with Islam in creating contempt, fear and loathing by
the masses.
The muslims are cultivating hate, ostracism and oppresion.
1 most attacked muslims/ Islam.
4-2 various groups of radical fanatics, doing evil in Gods name.
5 the atheist for saying they are not a religion.
6 Bible believing Christians.
7 Catholic Church
8 latter day saints
9 Momons
10 JW's

Man is evil.
War is big business.
The people of the United States did not want to enter world war 2.
But Roosevelt allowed us to be attacked at Pearl Harbor to stir up and motivate the public for war.
Just like Bush and Chaney allowed 911, to stir up the public for invading Iraq.
Man is evil and does evil things. Especially when there is money and business involved.
The United States is the world center of Capitalism.
It will do anyting to make a profit.
I think the United States evil mistake was getting involved in World War 2 at all
We should have let Japan and Germany expand.
They were only doing what the United States had previously done.
The United States expanded from coast to coast and killed the natives.
Why all of a sudden were we trying to stop other people from doing the same thing?
Japan would have not attacked us at Pearl harbor if we were not a threat to them
obtaining thier goal of expansion.
The same with Germany, the USA was sending armaments to England in a passenger ship
and the Germans blew it up. So the USA went to war.
That was kind of like putting a chip on your shoulder and being supprised someone knocked it off.
And it was evil and greedy to put weapons and armaments on a passenger ship.
