i do have two new return visits but they are not from field service.. my womens club went to a local nursing home today.
we brought the elderly gifts, we sang songs with them, and we brought our pets, and listened to them.
they were so happy to see us and share some of their lifes experiences with us.. it was different to go to a nursing home with no ulterior motives like pushing jw literature.. it felt right to just give them what they wanted most.

in just a few years all of us here will be forgotten, we will be dead and buried.
all our dealings will mean nothing.. ok there may be a few written works flying around for awhile, that some us have taken part in, and maybe a few of us may have been able to effect some changes for the good of some.yet all this can and probably will be reversed in a blink of an eye.some new cult or ruler will arise and start the whole cycle of pain over again.. the earth anyway, as a limited lifespan.
if mankind does not destroy itself, either our sun or some comet will.. so everything will end one day, as if no life ever existed here on earth, no rememberance, no purpose, no nothing.. so does it pay to dwell on the "big picture" of life?.
Everyone.... it is time to show you my poem.
A JOURNEY
Just as a child I journeyed
Eyes of wonder, in this land of miracles
Clothed in mystery and beauty, life was here,
I looked for experience and understanding.
Time as passed
The landscape looks different now
Just as light throws a shadow,
So life’s beauty is merely a veil of deceit
From flower to insect animal and man
The force in nature is cruel and must have its way
So many engulfed just in living, so few asking why
As one who reaches out to try to touch his own image in the glass
So as been my quest for life’s meaning
where do these meditations lead me
Nowhere, I exist then, but only to die
The earth spins silently in space
So the great cycle of life moves endlessly forward
From dust to dust ashes to ashes
Death controls the living and leaves it without purpose
It brings no meaning except to perpetuate life
The ancients made god in their ignorance
In their own image, they made god.
Masses bow down to the image, hoping for something better
Power is endowed to those who continue the lie.
This I have seen and experienced
I almost envy ignorance, for it does not see the futility
Can one be truly content in this land
Where life is taken in the blink of an eye,
where some are left begging for bread
None can boast then, only in their luck.
Life is a game of chance, a roll of the dice
where you are born and into what form.
Life force is irresistible, it pushes forward
When it was born, it looked beyond itself
Is its ultimate goal, just to continue to be?
Will this ever be known, will I ever be free.

The lure of God does not attract me anymore either.
I am just highlighting why it gains popularity!
This is the reason why many, includine myself first became attracted to JWs. it is this lure.
I almost envy ignorance, for it does not see the futility

may you all have peace!.
once again, i have received a 'writing' on my heart, which i am directed to share with any and all who will 'receive' it.. for many years, the wtbts and others have taught the "nephilim" to be the offspring of angels who had relations with the daughters of men, half-breed beings that wreaked havoc in a violent way in the earth during the days of noah, just prior to the flood.
that, dear ones... is an error... and a lie.. by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies, that is in me by means of christ, i say to you that the "nephilim"... are spirit creatures, ancient beings... 'of old'... princes from the spirit realm, the 'wicked spirit forces'... that came to the earth to 'fell' earthling man in the days of noah.. these being are those that i saw standing to the left of my father's throne, shrouded in darkness, and 'egging' on the 'battle' between to the two brilliant cherubs on the ark, the 'arkangels', which i related to you previously on h20.
SJ my dear one.
What a wonderfull revelation!. This will have enormous impact on mankind and planet Earth. Of all the things that JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH could help mankind with, he chose to reveal this piece of garbage with you.
Maybe you should stay off those magic mushrooms(FLY AGARIC)

So does it pay to dwell on the "Big picture" of life?
Can we be content to exist like insects, living for a brief while then dying?
This is where the Lure of God brings the masses to its knees.
Can you hear what I am saying......IS ANYONE OUT THERE?
Radar feeling pointless!

the friday 28 issue of washington post had some very interesting information about documents found in one of the terrorist hijackers luggage.
these documents give us a good insight into the minds of religious fanatics and their thinking.
all of you other true believers, christians and otherwise, can learn a lot of true faith from those documents.

An insightfull comparison!
Emperor Hiroheto lost his Godship because of the Atom bomb.
The Kamakazi japanese gave their lives just for a man. So do all such religious people.
Maybe America should drop an A Bomb on the Muslim's Holy Mecca.
Then the Wailing wall.Just think of all that bowing down they would save people from.
Then drop one on the WBTS in new York.Then one in Rome.
It will then be Paradise and Peace at last!!

i just want to know if jws that have been in the "truth" all their lives, having given all for the "kingdom" die in peace or whether in the autumn and winters of their lives, they are stung by nagging intrusive thoughts... "i have given my whole life to this organisation and where is the new system?".
i ask because these people were taught they were in "the last days" when they grew up many decades or even a century ago.
how can someone go that long believeing it was going to be tommorrow?
Fred, was you around when this was published?
Watchtower 1954 478 - 18
"18 There is no time to lose. This is a most urgent message. Time is fast running out for Satan and his system of things, for they refuse to recognize that the "Gentile times" ended in 1914 and Christ Jesus was then enthroned as earth's rightful Ruler. We are now forty years within "this generation," the generation that witnessed the eventful year 1914, the generation doomed to experience Armageddon. (Matt. 23:36; 24:34) Make no mistake about it, that final war is a fixed date on the divine calendar, just as sure to occur on time as all the other purposes of Jehovah have. "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." "For to every purpose there is a time and judgment." (Eccl. 3:1, 17; 8:6, AS) Really, it is much later than most people think!"
