i have been surprised recently to see so much support by ex-jws for the watchtower's refusal to fight and kill.
in my opinion it is a vice masquerading as a virtue.
of course war should always be a last resort but there are occasions that it has to be done.
I agree with the education part but one must recognize the trouble of government inspired propaganda getting in the way of ones education or biasing one's education, as well as news media bias.
I would not rely too heavily on an education one gets free from the government and mandatory for it's citizens along with it's pledges of allegiance to the state.
i think it is inevitable.
i don't worry about it but it just seems that the human race is going down a road that they can't make a turn off.. they are probing/discovering how the human mind works and produces intelligence down to the individual molecule.
now with the invention of the super quantum computer soon we will be able to build even better artificial intelligence greater than our own, so it will be easily able to out smart us because will we be a bunch of dumb apes first discovering how to make fire in it's eyes.. it will have it's own different agendas than us humans.

i'm writing this tread for the people out there that are still looking for some kind of answers.
people who feel the void that any organized thought system can produce.
people who know there is more to this life than our daily routine which eventually will end, when we no longer exist.
I kind of look at psychedelics as a way to get back some of yourself that is buried in your unconscious namely the shadow(Jungian) or becoming more whole. I would suggest to get familiar with the different techniques and have a good set and setting when taking these tools/medicines. BTW last time I looked these herbs are cheap and easy to get on the internet from many different suppliers.

The bottom line is - if you want to be a pacifist, you need to take more of an active, engaged and informed role in politics. Standing on the sidelines while things are set in motion and then refusing to get involved isn't good enough - you should have been involved earlier to prevent them if you genuinely care about life.
Another broad stroke or painting with a wide brush statement. I'm not a political involved person I have very little interest in it, only around election time does my interest go up a little, and times of say national crisis. But I do agree if a person feels strongly about an issue they should take the kind of action you describe be it protesting in the streets and what not. Civil disobedience or non compliance is also another course of action too.

I've done ayahuasca many times starting 2001 from home brews they helped me a lot. The last time was 2009. My mood always improved as I would face my inner demons and early life trauma. I remembered trauma as far back as one year old. After the ordeal I always felt a kind of rebirth into the world and my mind felt so much younger as I connected back to those days very therapeutic.
a couple of times at the meetings this year we've been told that in the future we might get some strange directions from the society that might not make any sense to us.
then they've said will we show our loyalty to jehovah by still obeying?
seems a rather unusual thing to say.
Well if another comet appears in the sky it might be Jesus come to take the Faithful and Discreet Slave to rule with him for a 1000 years so maybe the GB might be needing some cyanide pills.

Hey I was just thinking about John Nash's game theory when reading your post.

Maybe some one that studied this subject could tell us the out come?

I think under many circumstances it is morally justifiable to the morals that the particular person has after all moral are not universal.
Your title seems like you are just blowing off a little steam, the joys of the internet and benefits I might add.
Because you of all persons must know the wide brush you are painting with when you make a sweeping statement like that.
blimey o'reilly, what are those blokes up to?.
the governing body seem to pull 'new light(tm)' out of their backsides when they can save money.
then, out of the blue comes some weird crap that will lead to the jobos getting spat at.. what is the gov bods game?
Well I would say ask John Nash he developed a theory on game strategy. But in order to answer that question properly we need to take in their back round of mental problems and the great difficulty they have in facing the truth about any subject. Also lets not over look the very limited options they have in running a lying mind control cult that prays on peoples end of the world fears. And lets not forget about the subject of severe brain shrinkage due to the fact of being in the mind control cult for most if not all their lives and years of spouting this bull shit out of their mouths defending or in agreement with, has had on their ability to reason properly.
So yes they are desperately pulling this shit out of their own ass because their options are so limited and their brains are so faulty and senile.
