Did anyone ever notice just how many 30-40 year escapees there are?
by AK - Jeff ini know a lot of young people leave the 'truth'.
but i would never have thought that so many of us with 20, 30, 40 years in would be leaving.
what do you think accounts for that?

Use of the word jah?
by carla ini have noticed on ex sites the use of the word jah in reference to jehovah.
is this just a slang used by ex's or do active also use it?
if active members use it, doesn't it seem a bit disrespectful then?

Traumatic memories never grow up, neither does the person
by wanderlustguy inmy mother has been through a lot in her life, some bad before the truth, then following through during and after.
almost all of which she never shared with me until the past few months when i had to have my questions answered to get past the events i was stuck on.
i feel i am aging in years every month now, and was curious as to why.

The Tree of Life, Asherah, and Her Snakes
by Leolaia inthe garden of eden narrative in genesis 2-3 (j) is generally thought to have a mythological background, and its sumerian and akkadian parallels have been widely noted: the resemblence between the tale of adapa and the story of adam and eve's deception regarding the death-dealing fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the story of adam's creation and life with the animals and the tale of enkidu from the epic of gilgamesh, the edenic blessedness described in the tale of enmerkar, and so forth.
the canaanite and phoenician parallels however are not noted as often -- though these would be more pertinent to the native judean context of the eden narrative.
this post will explore some of these parallels in an attempt to trace the mythological background of the eden story, which is complex and multi-layered.

ok, so armageddon didn't come before the generation of 1914 grew old and died.
but does that mean that the big a isn't near?
