for people who have a paralyzing fear of dying, to where it seems like it's this horrible, stalking monster, jwism is a powerful sedative.. but really, the idea of living forever, in human form, is nonsense.
living forever isn't about living forever, it's about not dying.. death is natural.
it can be painful, sudden, or both.
Bro, you need to have things in perspective. You local nuclear power plant presents a far greater danger, get some iodine pills and set up a plan for peace of mind. Economicly, Japan is far worse off the the US. Their debit is 24 times revenue, the US is 4.5 times debit to revenue. Japan is toast in a few years, it may take the US quite some time.
If I were you, I'd take a trip to the islands somewhere warm, and do some chillaxing, even if you are a strong thinker.

the whole time i lived in colorado, i had the dubs come by once and leave a tract.
but since moving to california, they are at my door so often i asked them to put me on the "do not call" list.
this did not stop them, in fact i have asked four times, plus once i called the kingdom hall and left a message, they still come, the last time this past saturday.
lisarose, I'm not positive, but if you post a "No Tresspassing" sign, and they enter your property, you can file charges with the police.

Fresh Prince,
I remember you from the 2100 thread. An uncertain future is not an excuse to "check out". Are you married? You can PM me if you like. But I'm not a theropist. As far as your belifs, it's good to continue your journey to recovery.
While it is true, the (econimc) system demands eternal growth, and we live on a finite planet. But this could go on for a while. Check out Dimitry Orlov. He recomends we invest in each other. As in who do you know that will help you even if you don't give them any money, and vice versa. Another example is Joel Salatin, an incredable examle of positive action, with the whole system against him.
Just some thoughts,
Be well, try to think positive and hang tough.

stream will be on stream.jw.org if anyone know login details let us know.

That would be so "In your face WTB$!" if it was streamed here.
very interesting video from futurist james burke.

he believes scarcity will be a thing of the past because of nanofabricators (sounds like a replicator for star trek fans).
got caught at the supermarket (in between the martini olives and snack crackers ) with several bottles of hard liquor in my basket along with some red licorice by a sister that has known me for years.
still respects me, not knowing that i am in full fade mode, or at least not recognizably knowing.
anyway, when she sees me, her eyes get all big and she heads in my direction, nearly ramming my liquor laden cart with her vegan oriented basket.. "hey sop, how are you doing?
That was funny SOP, sounds like an uber.
I googled Fred Franz and got this video.
there's just so much $$$ that people have.. the obama government continues to ignore simple mathematics, and you can't just keep adding taxes and increase fees and simply believe that everyone with a brain will think it's lovely..
Ah, but you can in a system where debit IS money. Consider Japan, they are over a quadrillian yen in debit. Even if you paid that back at 1 yen per second, it would take over 33 million years. These debits will never be repaid.
- 23 day to go .. annual meeting unofficial rumors.
- new bible.
- new nwt (revision).
Since they changed the FDS, they will have to change the answer in the pre baptism questions. Do they still use the OM book? That will have to be revised, along with anything else they change.
today's high school students in the usa:.
less than 1/2 of them cannot identify the century when our civil war happened.. one in four thought columbus discovered america sometime after 1750.. one in three cannot name one right enumerated in the bill of rights.. three out of four cannot name the first us president.. two out of three do not know the length of term of a member of the house of representatives.. half cannot find britain on a map.. one out of four cannot find america on a map.. when my oldest daughter, who is now a physician was in 9th grade in this once-great state of california, i asked her about the three branches of our federal government.
she was clueless and told me she would take civics in her junior year in high school.
only in the usa.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2gnqt578qhq.
