The Future: the "Quickening" - and not Armageddon
by metatron intake a good look at recent world events:.
violent revolution thruout the middle east - which, after decades of dictatorial stability, may have been triggered by social networking on the internet and cell phones.. all sorts of stories out in the open about ufo encounters, national governments releasing their files on the subject - and a nasa scientist claims hard evidence of et life from a meterorite.. while the braindead media follows charlie sheen's descent, the focardi and rossi experiments in italy get ignored.
scientist edmond storms predicts a "stampead" if this is the final tipping point in favor of 'cold fusion' - a future of cheap, inexhaustable energy.. 'watson' wins some remarkable victories on jeopardy - suggesting solid progress towards artificial intelligence.. wikileaks threatens national governments and scofflaw 'too big to fail' banks.. scientists clone an extinct species, create artificial cellular life, come close to explaining the aging process and create near miracles with stem cells.. when looking at the future, some use the term 'singularity' - but i like the phrase "the quickening" - a relatively sudden burst of technical progress that changes every aspect of modern life and culture.

Did you get a spritual family in compensation for your own?
by highdose intheres a scripture much touted by the jw's, goes somthing like " who has not lost brothers, sisters etc and not got tons more etc" ... no i ain't going to bother to look it up.. this was always offered as a great compensation for upsetting your family with your extreme jw beliefs.
but i never found it to be true.
yeah you went to the meetings and your so called spritual family was there.

What Doctrines or JW Views Did You Not Find Too Believable?
by minimus inthe thought that a loving creator would violently destroy anyone not belonging to the jehovah's witness religion including billions of babies seemed just not right.. the fact that you could recieve some "acceptable" blood components but could not donate those same lifesaving yourself seemed strange.
you could recieve a blood fraction but you couldn't give it.. any others you can think of?

Jehovah's Witnesses stance on serving in the military...
by garyneal inmy wife and i live in a military area so it is natural that we encounter a great number of people who have benefitted from it and are living fairly good lives.
my wife and i talked about this some last week when it was found out that the unbelieving husband of the jw who babysits our daughter is retired air force.
this would explain why they are living so well.
