"Crisis of Conscious" question
by monophonic insince my copy of the book, eh hum, found its way into the garbage and i need to purchase another copy i can't reference it at the moment.. .
can someone clarify for me, in the malawi and mexico chapter(s), 1) the jws were a cultural institution in order for the society to be able to own real estate and if they were a religion, then they wouldn't own the property, or something close to that, right?
2) most importantly, were there some big real estate transactions happening in mexico during the malawi massacre where the society didn't want to do anything to rock the boat on those?

Wings of Desire
by monophonic insomeone just spoke of angels in another discussion and it reminded me of the film "wings of desire" by wim wenders..
i remember when i came out in the late 80's and how people were saying what a horrible film it was b/c it was about angels wanting to be human and then they'd quote, what, was it noah's day.
(the former things are passing away from my mind, yay!

purple triangles vs. videos on the faithful in malawi
by monophonic injust a thought i had earlier and mentioned in a comment on a thread..
but i love how the yearbooks and videos jump all over how jws suffered in the name of god and these examples of their faith through ww2, but the malawi massacre is glossed over..
if they were right for their decision they made for the brothers in malawi, don't you think they'd be making messes in their pants at the excitement of showing the world how faithful they were amidst the tyranny?.

Gratitude
by monophonic intonite i've just really felt peace of mind.
i was thinking of some of my so-called old best friends who will have nothing to do with me because i won't drone with them in the borg.
it just feels so good to be away from them and the lame judgements regarding the music i listened to, the running commentary of every move i made because i was on my way to being successful, and anything above an uneducated janitor was a complete threat..

this story popped up on the google news search:
by monophonic inracism in the jehovah's witness watchtower.
it turns out to be a blog, but it got picked up by google news and the comments other than the writer's seem to be from jws just discrediting the post.. while he seems a little off his nut, since google picked it up, it might be a good idea to post informational comments for people who pass through..
