Photo Drama of Creation

by jaydee in

g-day all,.... i've watched on youtube, 'warwick: a journey to my former faith'.

and at 25.33 re the photo drama...it is mentioned that,.

it was the first major screen play to incorporate film.....blah blah blah.... back in 1914, this effort must have been a great piece of propaganda ,.

jaydee I watch the video and found it very interesting. Thank you for putting this up. When in the Borg this one one of the few things I was proud of. How they was on the cutting edge for the time in using the latest technology available. Later they had their own radio station, sound cars and the portable record player. Compared to today this is all very primitive. Yet they embrace it.

Wt. In later years fought back in using such technology. It has only been in the last few years they are embracing it again. But then again they are using it because they can control their flock by information control. Now they don't even need to talk at the door anymore. Going back to a old way of getting their word out. Instead of having a TV station they have a Internet site/ TV station or whatever they call it. Yet still trying to play catch up in this field. Again thank you. Still Totally ADD

The Dark-Skinned Early Briton.

i'm sure many others noted in yesterday's news feeds, that scientists deciphering the dna of the skeleton remains of a man thought to have died some 10,000 years ago in the south of england, have presented him as:.

as blue-eyed (now that's quite english) but as dark skinned.

and, that's not very english, to the horror of many.. (link: https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/02/ancient-face-cheddar-man-reconstructed-dna-spd/ ).

Don't you guys know anything! The only reason there are white people is because God ran out of color paint. LOL. Showing there is nothing special about being white. Still Totally ADD

- abuse was reported to (mormon) church leaders.

Listening to the news about this made me think how this sounds just like the JW borg. As we have always said cult is a cult. Same M.O. just a different name.

This is a little off subject the other day I watch a old episode of Monk. The title was Monk joins a cult. Boy did the ever hit the nail on the head when it comes to cult's. If you get a chance to see it do so. You will laugh and think boy this is real. Still Totally ADD

New here...

by Jacobi in

jw
friends

my name is jacobi, i am a born-in but mentally out for more or less a decade at this point (although it was cradual) and about 40yo.

i don't want to say a lot about my family, but it is a mix of going-through-the-motions, semi-actives (but mentally in), some who have left for a few reasons and one really depressed pioneer.

because people fade in and out i have managed to slide under the radar and i keep up apperances of not being all-out apostate but i completed my fade about years ago (it also helped i moved to another part of the country).. i might rub some of you the wrong way because of my views on different things like politics.. i am not a trump supporter at all and neither are most people in my country.

Welcome Jacobi. Everyone here has or is trying to find their authentic personality that was taken from us by the Wt. borg. We may get under each other skins once in awhile but this is what freedom is all about. Also this us against them attitude that was driven into us by the Wt. Borg I feel is one personality flaw we all need to overcome. It is increasingly becoming a major problem in this country. This cult thinking that is not stop may well be the end of us all.

So please forgive us if we are a little testee sometimes. This is great group of folks here who will come to anyone needing support. I have received it in many ways and I know you will also. Again glad to have you on board. Take care. Still Totally ADD

When did JWs begin.

by Lost in the fog in

" the contestant was useless as he said the 1700s.

the correct answer the quiz master gave was the 20th century.

and then he added, "they only began in the 1930s believe it or not.

Still Totally ADD

steve2 one question on 1799. I remember vividly around 2005 or so at a book study it was brought out that The last days did not begin in 1799. Why the clarification in the early 2000's if this teaching was done away with in the mid 1930's? To be honest being a born-in and over 50 years old at the time I never knew about this teaching until it was brought at the book study. Still Totally ADD

Falcon Heavy

by Coded Logic in

the falcon heavy is set to launch today.

if successful, it will become the most powerful rocket in use (twice as powerful as the delta heavy).. as it's the very first attempt, elon musk has said he thinks there's a 50/50 chance of it not blowing up.

so should be interesting.

Outahere I understand your point and in many ways I feel that way but is this not a defeates attitude? The same greed and hate will follow human kind out into the stars. Will that not still cause the same problems elsewhere on a another planet? Just thinking. Still Totally ADD

Simon I have to agree with you on this one point that we need to be more interested in taking care of this planet and not worry so much about colonizing Mars. It makes me sad to say that because I love the space program. I always hope to go into space but I am to old now. But many helpful things have come about because of it and our understanding of Earth has been valuable.

You got to admit watching those two booster rockets landing up right was pretty neat to see. To bad the main booster didn't make it. Watching it take off and the boosters landing was very exciting. It seems humankind is always looking for greener grass on the other side of the fence instead of taking care of the pasture they live on. Live long and prosper. Still Totally ADD

Raising children - thoughts

by CovertsadJW in

Born-in. Everything that was brought out is very true. I woke up at the age of 55 I finally grew up by 60. This is a story many of us can relate to. Still Totally ADD

Is Trump Doing Better Than You Thought As President!

by minimus in

jw

i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.

Still Totally ADD

For 84 months jobs have gone up. 12 for Trump. This would have happened with or without him. Everything goes in cycles when it comes to the economy. By the way presidents don't create jobs businesses do. He has manage to become the best distractor I have ever seen. Everyone who is investigating the Russian connection are mostly Republicans. But to hear him say it and his minions it's this great plot to take him down by the other side. The only question I would like to have answered is. If he is innocent why is he trying to discredit those looking into this? Please don't tell me it's Hillary lovers doing this or the FBI is corrupt. Just a year ago the Republicans was talking about how great they are. Comey did many things that caused her to lose the election plus she was not a good candidate but Trump had Comey fired.

From the day he started running for president I saw criminal intent in his thinking. But then again he came from a family of criminals. I just got out of a cult and I hate seeing this nation becoming a world cult of trump. Again I feel both sides need to look long and hard to answer the question. Are they serving the people of this nation or the billionaires who paid for them to get elected? So far all I have seen is billionaires rule while the rest of us drool. You may have more in your paycheck now but don't worry in a few years that will change.

Like all economic cycles this one will end. For better but most likely for the worse. History has proven that is true. Bad mouthing either side is childish let's start talking like adults and come up with real meaning to these conversations. Maybe all of us will get a better understanding of what's going on.
