nasa's probe "new horizons" was launched in 2006 and since then has been speeding across 3 billion miles of space to the most distant planet in our solar system.. the first pictures arrived today with higher resolution images due tomorrow.. i fu~~ing love science.. more details from the bbc here.... .
This gave me goosebumps too. I love the heart on this little, dwarf planet.
It reminded me of the Voyager 1 space probe, which launched Sep 15, 1977, turning to take a picture of Earth, the pale blue dot, as Voyager 1 left our solar system Feb 14, 1990. Here is a link to where the Voyager space crafts/probes are now:
I hope we, homo sapiens, never stop exploring and discovering.
well another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.
i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.
i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.
Welcome EN!
You are one of the ones who, when it came time, decided to be intellectually honest with yourself instead of lying to yourself. I think this is a pivotal moment each JW comes to sooner or later.
I, like you, never agreed with the blood policy. I was a teenager when that was introduced to me and I told my parents that life was more important than this policy.
It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned about the child abuse and how much of a problem it really is. There is no way an 'all-loving' god is any part of that crap.
Thank you for taking the time and mustering up the courage to join us. Every voice is important.
well, once again my "friend" has shared their notes with me from the latest co visit.
besides the usual 1914 assertions/ world getting worse all the time/ our day is the worst of all time nonsense, the co mentioned some interesting things.
number one won't surprise you.
the sociopathic liar beware of this dangerous sociopath.
the one behavior that characterizes the human race is so widespread that most of the time we dont even notice it.
it is extremely hard to spot and it is even harder to stop.

LOL! 5,000 years? No f'ing way. Know your fossil record peeps. Sheesh.
Edited to add:
Yeah, fmf... your Adam's Nipples one was priceless.
the elders did not stay long and it wasn`t an official visit sanctioned by the boe/cobe because they were not from my (ex)congregation.
we talked a little about my situation and the fact that my wife does not talk to me and how non-scriptural her behavior is.. then they mentioned the rc and how it was the best convention for the last 20 years.
one thing they did mention was the fact that the borg was clearly preparing them for persecution.
Then they mentioned the RC and how it was the best convention for the last 20 years.
Yeah... every single one is always the best.
not even the witnesses want them.
This religion requires mandatory field serve us. Which means old people can no longer be Jehovah's Witnesses.
I think that kinda says it all about this religion. Everyone eventually becomes valueless to Botchtower.
a couple of people here asked, so, i would like to share my story.. i got baptized at the age of 14 (armageddon was coming any day).
to call keith to ask him to stop talking about me.
keith and mrs. keith denied they were talking about me.
Thank you for sharing your story Brian. It is good to read another successful exit story. You are living proof that one does not 'enter darkness' when one leaves Botchtower World. And congratulations on your new baby on the way. I guarantee you that Armageddon will not arrive even in your child's lifetime.
breaking news from co!!
according to a reliable source, the co in my area says that jws may have been hearing the phrase, "final push" being used.
what sage advice did this shepherd, duke, and "star" of revelation have to say?
sowhatnow said: to place people in this constant state of anxiety, is what places them on anti depressants,lol
swn, this is an excellent way of stating what Botchtower does to people. I may have to steals this.
