when the story first broke out, there were several ambiguities and questions unanswered.

What is the meaning of life?

i was reading about experiences of those who smoked 5meo-dmt, found in the venom of certain toads, i had got a hold of 1/2 of gram of the 99% pure stuff and smoke it about 20 or 30 times, it a very intense trip, that allows you to see thru many of the progams we got running around in our minds and concepts we've been brainwashed with from government and culture(that's about the best way i can discribe it).

any way this experience that i take a quote from is after he came down enought to be able to speak english(i often spoke in tongues when first becoming able to speak) i thought he gave a pretty good answer to the question:i felt so clear-headed about everything that i asked my friends to just go ahead and ask me something, anything.

one of them asked me 'what's the meaning of life?

Book Study this Week - Is the World Getting Worse?
by jgnat in
1. watchtower
2. bible
this week's book study is on the state of the world since satan was ostensibly tossed down here to spread his misery in 1914. according to the watchtower society, the world has been steadily declining since that date.

i contend they selectively filter bad news in order to maintain their beliefs.

the world is not necessarily worse today.
