  new hope and happiness

  If i go too a lynyrd Skynyrd concert...i would feel pretty stupid in a suit and tie. when i was a kid grown men went to work in a bowler hat...being told how to dress? i guess how we dress is a uniform.....funny when at school i thought wearing the leather jacket and jeans were cool. I can see why an organization needs a dress code..but i am an individual now...oh my job says different.

  School, witnesses, Mcdonalds, lynyrd skynyrd, ...the crazy thing is now ive got in to fashion its exspensive and personal self worth ...why did i spend silly money on a designer shirt? I need it. I feel good in it? Sad...how we judge by cloths but i understand why an organization has a dress code.

  Phizzy Let me dream of the last of a dying breed.

  Oh its a beautiful dream, the loving and oh so wonderful Govering Body Humanists ( as they see themselfs) but in reality i see the Grivious Bodily Harm brigade.

  Now i can dream and in my dream i see these old men not as " naughty boys" but very "old and naughty men" needing a nappy changed...i do not pity them. Its no joke ..Now we have the internet i can voice my opinion "you G.B members you had your own ego and your own printing company and your words gave not love but a heavy burden to your listners......" ....I am Jesus.

  Deception by Omission - The Good News

  by Perry in

  perhaps one of the strongest ways to deceive someone is to repeat only one feature of a particular issue over and over and to never to explore the other facets of the same issue.

  24:14 was repeated into my head thousands of times while growing up as if it was the only good news (gospel).

  future existence is non existence.... but our hearts and reason long for future existence...its our reason to exist.... so when we are sold the dream of a " paradise earth" its a dream as real as the sun might shine tomorrow..... its advertising and marketing, its lies that cant be justified but having left the " lie" of a future paradise earth is not the world one big " paradise earth" with its marketing?.

  how do we find ourselfs ?.

  Perry i am the good news " New Hope and Happiness"...because thats the only " good news" as we walk our own particulr paths each searching for our own dream.

  Its a shame jesus lasts words were " why have you forsaken me" sounds like he was saying " why me?" " Why now!?" and that his Hope and Happiness were an illusion.

  You guys are great!! Imagine if i had said i was Jesus to a witness uggg .May be thats what makes this place work, we find humour in our problems at the W.T, coupled with justified anger.

  As for humour I often asked myself why do the elders regard humor in the meetings with such contemt? I was often told to be more seriouse and not make jokes. I always thought humour was enlightening, but that wasnt the reaction from the elders. MISFITS....why couldnt they see my humor as a way to make a seriouse point? Actually i guess it was a blessing, because " I am Jesus". Or at least i was more like him than they lol.....
