    The best things in life aren't things.

    The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”

    I am dyslexic Satanist. I believe in drivel.

    God has no religion.

    More happiness is from giving than receiving.

    Do others what you want them to do to you.

    GREAT QUOTES viewed with JW's in mind
    _______________________________________
    • Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75. —Benjamin Franklin
    ________________________________________________
    Jehovah’s witnesses stop growing, improving, learning when they accept the Watchtower’s misnamed ‘Truth.’ Lost souls waiting at a bus stop for a bus that never comes; all the great things they could have done, people they could have helped, productive lives they could have led are suffocated by standing there waiting for Armageddon to solve every problem for them.
    ___________________________________________________
    • Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions. Their lives a mimicry. Their passions a quotation. — Oscar Wilde
    _____________________________________________________
    Jehovah’s Witnesses beam with satisfaction when they tell you, “All of us agree on everything.” Individuality shriveled and fell off like the carapace of a locust.
    __________________________________________________
    • When you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. — Nietzsche
    __________________________________________________
    JW’s spend every waking moment staring at the end of the world as though it were a puppy in a pet shop window eager for a home.
    _______________________________________________
    • Don’t let schooling interfere with your education-Mark Twain
    ______________________________________________
    The Governing body would add, “Don’t let education interfere with your indoctrination.”
    _______________________________________________
    • Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go. ― Oscar Wilde
    _____________________________________________
    The householder awakened by the doorbell on Sunday morning would agree.
    _____________________________________________
    • I destroy an enemy by making him into my friend — Abraham Lincoln
    _______________________________________________
    JW’s don’t bother making friends by exercising kindness. They ‘mark the foreheads’ of 'goats' and imagine they’ve doomed a sinner at Armageddon.
    ___________________________________________
    • Prejudices are rarely overcome by argument; not being founded in reason they cannot be destroyed by logic. — Tryon Edwards
    ____________________________________________
    JW’s begin with a delusion: they are automatically right. They don’t listen when others speak, they plot the next refutation.
    ___________________________________________
    • The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed. — Ernest Hemingway
    _________________________________
    The instrument of destruction of the human mind lies in the magazines, Watchtower & Awake!
    ____________________________
    • The most dangerous man is the man able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the authority he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are. ― HL Mencken

    And that, my fellow Apostates, is US!

    Most of us come equipped with 2 ears and only 1 mouth, so that implies we should listen twice as much as we speak.

    "The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds." - R. D. LAING

    Wasanelder Once

    “I suppose it is the nature of things that, as one ages, one is obliged to witness the gradual loss of all that one has ever cared for until the laggard self slips into what is, at the end, an altogether commonplace and so common darkness.”

    From 1876 by Gore Vidal.
