The idea of JDubs as artistic intellectuals is mind-boggling.
Yes I agree Terry. One of them who came to our house said seeing shelves full of books like the ones we had actually frightened them.
We use to have Philosophy Topics here about a decade ago.Good grief, those days are long gone Terry. What happened to those interesting people I wonder? Perhaps it's time I was long gone.

at about the 37th minute of this month's broadcast brother loaf of bread says that grieving the holy spirit includes "using deceitful words" isn't that what brother jackson did over and over during the rc testimony he gave?
did he not lie and obfuscate when he said things like "it's not my field"?
this org- strike that - cult is disgusting!
Using deceitful words, who could they be talking about?!
They are terrified of us. People are joining this site and starting posting every day at the moment. They are trying to shut us up. It's apostates who are the spoiled bread, having committed the unforgivable sin of seeing through the lies. They'd love to throw us all away. We're going nowhere.
warning of a long boring post ahead.
i feel like i need to vent my story out, as i feel quite helpless at the moment.. i'm 31 year old, married, father of toddler with another one on the way, due later this month.
i've been serving as elder for about 4 years now in a south florida congregation.
the new midweek meeting has been running for a month now.
here are my thoughts on how it is going so far:.
1) elders are looking frazzled from being on virtually every meeting and having to prepare unfamiliar formats for items.
It is sort of amazing how much of this actually does describe them.- Bobcat
It's because that is a description of religious leaders everywhere and in every time period.
on another thread i was asked by fadetoblack about my asd.
sorry ftb i didn't respond, but here is your post again and i will respond on this new thread.. i'm curious to know how you know you were born with asperger's syndrome.
it seems to be extremely hard to clinically diagnose, but popular to self-diagnose.
It's quite interesting that HSPs, highly sensitive people (see Elaine Aron's site) are opposite to ASD people who struggle with interpreting facial expressions and nuances of conversation. We pick up so much so quickly that the amount of information coming into our brains is often overwhelming.
Interesting, so many different types of people. Incidentally HSP doesn't mean someone who takes offence easily it's referring to a kind of sensory sensitivity different to those with ASD. I found it amusing when all the body language stuff came out. I thought doesn't everyone know this, can't everyone tell when someone's lying. We know too much about people!
wow....has it been a while!
i hope many of you are doing good!
it's awesome to see many of you holding strong, and keeping the site going!.
my novel is now free on kindle for the next five days.
albert’s einstein said "reality is merely an illusion albeit a very persistent one!
the buddhist say the same thing.
What if Albert and the Buddhist are right?Which Buddhist? If you mean the Buddha and you've got it wrong in two sentences already I don't hold out much hope.
