  good afternoon,.

  i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.

  we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

  Don't have sexual fantasies! Today's watchtower...

  by purrpurr in

  the watchtower today says not to think of sex, or to have sexual fantasies.

  i'm just wondering... how many people in the hall hearing this watchtower today would be having sexual fantasies?

  sitting there thinking about sister hottie or brother hunky ?.

  The Borg are basically setting the sheep up to fail.

  Exactly! This is what all religions do. They take things you can't possibly stop doing, thinking about sex, masturbating, sometimes overeating or drinking too much, getting angry, and they forbid them. So you have to spend your whole life feeling guilty and having to appease 'God'. For God read the religious leaders. It's about control and it's been working for thousands of years.

  It's no longer a question of Whom to trust, but why anybody should actually trust at all. Better is vigilant wariness and optimism whenever possible.
  Hoping for the best in others and expecting the worst is as close as I can get to a creed.

  Terry this is so true. We all either decieve ourselves or allow others, like advertisers, to deceive us, making us crave what we want in life as opposed to what we need.

  I am still trying to work out what a homosapien needs, rather as you would try and work out what any other animal species that you are trying to care for actually needs rather than what they want. Dogs I am told would eat cake and chocolate all day if allowed to but cake is bad for their teeth and weight and chocolate can make them very sick.

  Cults cater to our longing for certainty, our need for the approval of others and our fear of death. We have to be strong and realise certainty is impossible, the only approval we need is our own and every living thing dies so why be afraid of going to sleep.

  As for trusting people, financial institutions, governments, trust no one, as Fox Mulder would say. Trust yourself most of the time, but be aware of your anachronistic brain that wants things you no longer need.

  No Kate, she was never involved in the cult thank goodness. We left long before she was born. I'm glad your daughter is getting on well and enjoying life.

  she turned one today, and 36 earlier this week.

  we planned a big party, big for two people that have never thrown a party before.

  we rented a church fellowship hall because 1. it was nice and big and affordable and 2. it was kind of awesome to throw a party in a place we would have never ventured in our previous life.
