  The Watchtower's credit ratings must be dropping through the floor with all this legal action by Russia. Not gonna help their child molestation lawsuits happening all around the world, having been labeled by a major world power(Russia) as extremist, totalitarian, and family harming, this does not bode well for the wolf in sheep's clothing.

  You can only keep the sheep ignorant for so long, and then when a big contest in court is happening and you lose every appeal this is bound to really shake WT corp. to the core.

  Way to go Russia! I'm glad the government is labeling them extremist to protect its people from this harmful totalitarian Corporation that calls itself a religion.

  Psilocybin is a serotonin type of hallucinogen and may increase serotonin levels which may increase blood pressure so I recommend people with high blood pressure keep track of their blood pressure if micro dosing regularly. I dose in spaced out periods of three days per mini dose and things are fine but everyday seems to make my blood pressure go up along with heart rate which seems to me is being caused by a high serotonin level, along with a very mild dizziness when getting up after resting.

  Smoking DMT on a daily bases makes my blood pressure rise so I only do it very rarely and only a few very tiny puffs not enough to enter the void or anything.

  Anyway proper awareness of this, one can take a lot of these things relatively safely and for bigger doses good set and setting are highly advisable.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_and_setting

  "Set" is the mental state a person brings to the experience, like thoughts, mood and expectations. "Setting" is the physical and social environment. Social support networks have shown to be particularly important in the outcome of the psychedelic experience.[2] They are able to control or guide the course of the experience, both consciously and subconsciously. Stress, fear, or a disagreeable environment, may result in an unpleasant experience (bad trip). Conversely, a relaxed, curious person in a warm, comfortable and safe place is more likely to have a pleasant experience.

  Of course, the drug dose does not produce the transcendent experience. It merely acts as a chemical key — it opens the mind, frees the nervous system of its ordinary patterns and structures. The nature of the experience depends almost entirely on set and setting. Set denotes the preparation of the individual, including his personality structure and his mood at the time. Setting is physical — the weather, the room's atmosphere; social — feelings of persons present towards one another; and cultural — prevailing views as to what is real. It is for this reason that manuals or guide-books are necessary. Their purpose is to enable a person to understand the new realities of the expanded consciousness, to serve as road maps for new interior territories which modern science has made accessible

  When I first found out that JWs don't have the truth I was thrown into the throws of an existential crisis that was February 2001 I was 46 years old, it took a couple of more months before I started to realize I was going to die some day, it took a couple more years 2004 before I realized the bible was full of shit, and I dropped some what deeper in the crisis.

  It felt like a complete melt down, let my prosperous business go down the tubes, I couldn't focus to do my taxes, balance my check book, and I maxed out all my credit cards, the government started garnishing my wages after I sold my business and it took me to 2010 to climb out of debt with out declaring bankruptcy.

  During this time of emotional unhingment I tried all kinds of psychedelics to try and get some type of break thru. I think I had serious brain shrinkage(due to cramming my head with WT corporation propaganda). Eventually the fog started to lift and my mental faculties returned and I started to take more charge of my life.

  So if you're new to finding out about the lies of the WT corporation and depending to on age, how much you have been indoctrinated with their bull shit, etc...be patient become proactive in getting this bull shit out of your neural networks and do lot of internet searches and find out for your self what meaning "you" can give to your life face the universal reality that you're gonna die and live your life to the full in freedom.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-actualization

  Self-actualization is a term that has been used in various psychology theories, often in slightly different ways. The term was originally introduced by the organismic theorist Kurt Goldstein for the motive to realize one's full potential. Expressing one's creativity, quest for spiritual enlightenment, pursuit of knowledge, and the desire to give to and/or positively transform society are examples of self-actualization. In Goldstein's view, it is the organism's master motive, the only real motive: "the tendency to actualize itself as fully as possible is the basic drive... the drive of self-actualization."[1] Carl Rogers similarly wrote of "the curative force in psychotherapy – man's tendency to actualize himself, to become his potentialities... to express and activate all the capacities of the organism."[2] The concept was brought most fully to prominence in Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory as the final level of psychological development that can be achieved when all basic and mental needs are essentially fulfilled and the "actualization" of the full personal potential takes place,[3] although he adapted this viewpoint later on in life, and saw it more flexibly.[4]

  Self-actualization can be seen as similar to words and concepts such as self-discovery, self-reflection, self-realization and self-exploration.

  As Abraham Maslow noted, the basic needs of humans must be met (e.g. food, shelter, warmth, security, sense of belonging) before a person can achieve self-actualization – the need to be good, to be fully alive and to find meaning in life. Yet, Maslow argued that reaching a state of true self-actualization in everyday society was fairly rare. Research shows that when people live lives that are different from their true nature and capabilities, they are less likely to be happy than those whose goals and lives match. For example, someone who has inherent potential to be a great artist or teacher may never realize his/her talents if their energy is focused on attaining the basic needs of humans.

  That seems to be the more comfortable way to be just like the herd.

  Existential guilt can really fuck you if you don't do something to relieve it. Can be a good thing if you take time to face it and live your life as authentically as possible, with more energy it's all psychological isn't it?

  Watchtower says: if your unbelieving relatives think you are in a cult, try to see things from their point of view

  12 have empathy for unbelieving relatives.

  while we may be overjoyed about the bible truths we have learned, our relatives may mistakenly believe that we have been tricked or have become part of a cult.

  we should show empathy by trying to see things from their viewpoint and by listening carefully to discern their real concerns.

  I think if we look at this from a psychological point of view, we can say that the GB and the writing department are trying to come to terms with the fact that they are a cult and that that everything they write is utter bull shit!

  Well at least they thought enough about it to right in that paragraphs. I smell trouble a brewing in the spiritual paradise.
