a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.
world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.
so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?
On November 5, a man was arrested in Bavaria, in whose car found policemen arsenal. And evidence that he wanted to go to France.
The Car was stopped on Nov. 5. on board: 8 assault rifles& ammo. 2 pistols, 2 hand grenades, 200 g of tnt. on the way to paris.
when i first left the watchtower organization in 2008, a flood of emotions came back to me.
betrayal, anger, resentment, deep depression from the relationships lost.
emotions seemed to guide my viewpoint of others as well.
Heaven only got involved in the selection process in 1919. 
Heaven "liked the idea" ca, 1918 "Millions now living will never die" better than just "you will not die".
not dying a big attraction. one less thing to worry about; now, just concentrate on pleasing the elders to be appointed too.
during a prayer in the kh all our eyes are supposed to be closed, right?
i've never been one to fully my eyes during prayers.
i'll close them down, but just enough that i can still peep around at what's happening without being noticed.. there's something i've noticed a certain elder doing for the second time now.
i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.
instead there was this mist that you have.
never before or after this have i heard something like this.
And remember, this was only about two thousand years before Christ.
Or, just within one overlapping generation after the creation of Mankind.
i ask this because of the circumstances behind why they get married and who they get married by.
i know people say that they are really in love, they love jehovah, etc, but are these marriages even legit.
i've talked to older jw's sister who are now widowed, some of them say that they were trapped in a marriages.
i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.

just trying to figure out what i believe in the wake of leaving the borg.
jesus message appeals, of course.
i just wanted to ask believers, christians, on this forum if you think the hope is heaven or earth.
Does not the Catholic credo also stipulate the brief "resurrection of the flesh" for judgement of the last day?
Deism: wait and see, or not, but use your time on this paradise earth wisely; that is why people heading for greener fields by the millions right now into Europe. Heaven and the 70 virgins can wait.
i recently read this book and found it to be excellent.
it's the story of how we never stop knowing, how science works (even when it doesn't), how gracefully math can describe the world we live in and more.
the story begins with how sir isaac newton, author of pricipia mathematica and holder of the lucasian chair at cambridge, developed math to describe the gravity and the motion of the planets with no need god holding them in place.

All the mountains were flooded. So how did they breath all that time on top of the mount Everest
A rising tide lifts all boats and the air around them. that breathing is not the problem, It is a high tale of hot air
