  i spoke to a friend of mine about this not too long ago.. we are "of a certain age".. the subject came up somehow.. .

  i'll be watching a tv commercial or i'll see some people in a park or a simple passing thought will suddenly induce a profound.

  sense of---well, how to describe it?

  Can’t say that I just start crying for apparently no reason but my eyes do get moist if I am moved by something but then I am a gladiator.

  What moves me the most is a generous act or someone showing compassion.

  So pleased that you are recovering Terry, but not getting back to normal. Normal is a changing state of being and your painful and dislocating experience has shifted the focus of your consciousness. Life will be more vibrant and you will feel more alive - for a while.

  In time, you may return to your rehearsed routine of living - unless you follow your feelings and embrace this new shift, allowing yourself to continue to be utterly enraptured by the wonder of being alive. Don’t worry Terry, I am not about to get religious. Just want to wish you well and hope that your life’s journey is enriched by having come close to contemplating your mortality.

  Thanks for bring us up to date Terry. Check for two bumps on your head just back from your forehead. As long as you don’t grow horns, it does seem that you have a medical condition that is responding to treatment and you are on the mend.

  Let’s hope you are soon cycling in a park again, carrying bottled water.

  All the best for a speedy recovery.

  Terry - Glad you are hanging on in there. Set backs of a major kind like this, help to make the years ahead richer and more precious.

  So many people responding to your crisis and your family coming to see you. No doubt about it - you are loved and valued.

  Different drugs work on different things...muscle, bone, nerve. The hospital should look into this pronto.

  Prayer is a hit and miss game unless you have contacts in high places. Hope things improve for you.

  What a shame. They must protect Terry's brain at all cost, there is not another one like it on the planet.

  My thoughts are with you Terry.

  Are you pro-activist, anti-activist, or passive?

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this question because, having been on this forum for a year now, it's clear to me that there are many shades to so-called "apostasy", and this is particularly evident in the realm of anti-watchtower activism.. when i use the word "activism", likely picketing kingdom halls and conventions springs to mind.

  however, activism can be far more subtle than that.

  just having a website or a book that sheds light on the flaws of watchtower dogma is really a form of activism - arguably the most effective form at that.

  Perhaps spirituality simply seeks.

  Religion declares that it has found and must proclaim.
