Cute animal vids to lift my spirits. Thank you Dis and Apog. Just what I needed
Sometimes nature is not 'red in tooth and claw' and there's probably some good evolutionary reason for it but what the hell it cheers me up.

That's great Jeannette. I've been volunteering for a mental health charity for three years and they have sent me thank you cards and I got a certificate for outstanding service (or something) can't remember the exact wording. So lovely and it will come in useful when I have to apply for my own job for the second time this Autumn.
All I got for pioneering for 10 years was a demand letter to give my discount literature back when I stopped! Charming.

A colleague at work told me about it. When she started at my workplace she was still 'in' but left shortly after. It was so great to laugh at the religion, all the funny things people say on here about it. Brilliant! I'd never laughed at it before. Just what I needed.

No I did something dangerous, I started reading books. Anything I wanted to read! Remember the 'Creation' book, big red one, that said that there's only a dining table full of fossils? Not true, found a library book with photos of neanderthal skulls. Found a second hand copy of Lucy by Donald Johanson about the discovery of australopithecus. Then found a second hand copy of Astral Projections by Robert Crookall and many others including books by neuropsychologist Peter Fenwick. Read many more but no time now, concluded we have evolved and are still evolving.

Alpha man LOL! Love your Borg cube tower.
I think they are promoting this website to say the paradise is just around the corner because our JW.Org will reach the rest of the world that we haven't preached to yet. Surely Jehovah could have waited for the internet? Couldn't he see the future. All those pioneers wasting their lives, me included. Why did He command we start the preaching work over a hundred years too early, before the world wide web? Unless of course it's just a man-made religion?

Sure it was 5 or 6 million when I left in 1989. Only 7.9 million now. WTF have they been doing in 25 years? Wasting peoples' lives that's what. Don't let them waste yours.

She is very beautiful FTS and looks more Caucasian than Chinese.
Stillin, I often think about that too, sobering and also it puts our worries into perspective. In a hundred years will it really matter?
