OK which one of you knows Pete and Mary- my neighbors
by lrkr inwe had our lovely across the street neighbors over about a month ago.
somehow, after a little wine and margaritas, the subject got onto religions.
they asked what religion we are (a baited question- they've watched us pile into the car 3-5 times a week wearing a suit for a few years).

4th of July- Not just "America's Birthday"
by lrkr inin my new way looking at things without the borg filter i am extremely impressed by the events of july 4, 1776. .
this was the culmination of a movement that changed the way the world viewed government.
government was no longer a grant by god to the king- but a right granted by the people being governed.

Thoughts on resurrection, memorial, etc
by lrkr inthis year i came to the realization that the jw memorial is primarily about death, sin, and compliance.
easter is a celebration of resurrection, rebirth and life.
just like we have come to expect from the borg- take a positive, uplifting celebration and highlight the dark aspects of it.

Any Russell/Rutherford wannabes out there???
by lrkr inok- nows the time for any of you really ambitious, organized, self motivated people out there to get moving.
write a book or two about the coming great change in 2012. link it to obscure bible prophecies.
wait for something to happen (doesn't really matter what- war, terror attack somewhere, death of the pope, worse flu season than most).. then claim divine providence.
