  ...........after he was done ranting no one felt like having sex for a month ......Heh, Heh, can only imagine what he had to say...

  Our conceit is our greatest barrier to learning (just like the JWs)....Agree...

  Coco, do they offer any kind of County assit programs? Also Plavix, if you qualify, can be obtained from the drug company at no charge to you. Be sure you take a coated aspirin. I threw a clout in March, they stuck me in the stomach with a clout buster med so many times I looked like a heroin addict.......Since release a regime of Plavic, cummidin and 325 mg. coated aspirin daily. Do take extreme care of yourself, clouts are not fun....

  Mr. Snowbird and I Are Reconciling

  we've agreed to compromise on our differences and support each other through the years we have left.. i'm seeing a psychiatrist today to deal with my difficulties that stem from a traumatic and tumultuous childhood.. he is willing to yield in his beliefs that a man should control everything and make all the decisions.. being a stubborn jamaican, i realize how hard that is for him.. we're going to renovate the house so that he has his own quarters.. that way, my boisterous g'kids won't work his nerves too badly.. just wanted to put it out there.. syl.

  Pretty much where we are today.....mrquik...

  I feel, depending on one's vantage point, we are on the cusp of a 500 yr. cycle of world change. The balance of power is shifting. Having no crystal ball in which to gaze I have no idea how it will shift. Rapidly ( 5 yrs ), or slower paced ( 20 yrs ). The world as we know it will peak, slump and rebuild. It will not be the same. There is no "where we are today" ever.

  The only thing I can say for sure on your questions is that I see myself changing.....Yes, myself as well.

  My current reading of what bona-fide historians and researchers say about the origins of religion is so totally different from what the Society taught me that I honestly feel I'm starting all over......Ah yes, welcome to reality and truly starting over. .... What the society has taught, past, present and in future is distorted with no basis in reality whatever. There teachings are akin to tossing a needle from a plane at 10,000 feet, parachuting out and searching for said needle when you hit the ground. The wt teaches unbridled fabrication. Pulling from thin air whatever the flavor of the day is, new light all the way...

  How big is a demon?

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  things which exist are real enough.

  we can measure them.

  they are just this big and no bigger or smaller.. they are here and not there.. imaginary things have the luxury of being any size.

  Jesus, now there is a personage of considerable myth and fabrecation.....As much so, as the topic question. From which sprang a dialog of the early Church, councils, Father's, so forth. How far a topic can stray......How big is a demon? As BIG as you imagine it to be. Simple really, when you think on it.

  How to destroy the validity of your own mind.

  by Terry in

  the standard of what is true is what is real.. truth=reality.

  at the point of contradiction.. with what?

  it would be unthinkable for reality to contradict itself.. .

  What a fascinating thread this is becoming....if you are going to measure the size of a demon then you MUST decide from which source one will measure....science, or the mystic...

  Wish I could emulate it, but alas, it is beyond my limited scope.

  Tee hee hee.

  Yeah right........CoCo, caught your comment on other thread, I know that feeling well...some day's a diamond, some day's a stone my friend.

  I woke from my slumber cold and tried. Sitting on the edge of my bed , mussing with muddled thoughts. Should I lie back down, cover my head, or rise, shake my fist at the sky and wake the dead? The keyboard calls to me, coffee first, perhaps a trickle of Irish added. Then too decide.....
