for some odd reason i cannot remember, i recently got to thinking about the future, not retirement or paying off the house kind of future but in particular, the dreaded 'new world order' that is claimed to be plotting the death of 90% of the population, the planned mass sterilization of humanity, viruses in the drinking water, some stones from the 1970s with guidlines for the future, you may well know the stuff of which i speak.. it has been raised before on the forum, and other forums and blogs can be found with many preaching the new age of death to come.

i wondered if it could really be so, was it really happening?

are we to be the victims of of the 'elite' as they get named, who want to make us all slaves?

It has been raised before on the forum, and other forums and blogs can be found with many preaching the new age of death to come. I wondered if it could really be so, was it really happening? Are we to be the victims of of the 'elite' as they get named, who want to make us all slaves? Some even feel that as ex JWs we should be especially aware of the conspiracy. What shall I do, what shall I do?

I concluded: None of it matters!

Change is inevitable, every single human rulership whether a village cheiftain of a remote barbaric tribe or leader of a great civilization such as Rome has grappled with trying to maintain the status quo, to no effect. All had risen and all have fallen. All had their power mongers, their shadow figures, their puppets and devious plans but it in the end, none of it mattered, they fell and were covered by the sands of time. The true survivors were the ones who simply adapted to the changes and new masters.

And so we come to the 21st century, and just like all the cicilizations of the past, we too think of ours as the most enlightened to date, the most progressive and therefore the one that simply must remain for all time. How utterly stupid. An ever increasing level of technology has given us faster transportation than in any time before and the birth of computers has made the world one giant city. The two combined are what has led mankind to the seeming need for a one world government. All countries and economies are naturally tied up with one another, it can't be any other way unless all the satellites fall from the skys and we go back to horse and buggy and boats with sails.

So, the powers that be will plot and debate, discuss and have secret meetings (that we seem to get to know about) trying to work out how to handle the newest challenge of the globe. Makes perfect sense actually. It doesn't mean we have to like it, no more than some ancient cave dwellers had to like getting a new chief either. But one fact i beleive remains: We are essentially powerless anyway. We are the worker ants of the colony, we get told how things will be, like it or not does not matter. Oh we might get to vote and participate in referendums etc and feel like we have some say in our fake democracy's, but overall nothing changes and never will, until the world is exhausted by our efforts and either spits us out or some race of aliens takes over or the terminators rise...

So i came to conclude that all that matters is getting through each day with the ones you love, having food on the table and doing what one can to have a happy life. Now, I don't like the thought of having to bow to Allah one day, or having to serve the NWO overlords or the Martians but seeing as i can't effect any of these possibilities, I just can't seem to find it in me to accept the doom and gloom some would have us labor under. I spent 40 years living like the end was nigh and I will be buggered if I will spend the rest of my life living under the black skys of worry about who will try to kill or control me one day.

Should i buy as many weapons as i can and build an underground bunker full of food for 5 years? Nah, I wanna spend the last part of my toilet roll making love to my wife, helping my kids, and having adventure before dementure, not fretting over yet another man made prophecy of destruction...

Will Obama win, will money become worthless, will china take over the world, will Islam dominate us, will the U.N turn us into zombies...on and on we go about nonsense! IT DOES NOT MATTER! The sun will set, the sun will rise, we will die, more will be born until the day our sun puffs out.

Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we choose to handle it. I don't mean we should not be aware of the goings on and stick our heads in the sand, I just mean, be careful how much energy one puts into these future predictions...

I apologize for my long rant. I guess i needed to rave!

Whitney Heichels Murderer Was a "Brother"

by daringhart13 in

the girl killed in oregon....found murdered......was killed by a 'brother' in her congregation.. its all hitting the fan in gresham, oregon.

i really hope this wasn't an affair gone bad.

they went to the same congregation and lived in the same apartment complex.. yep.....spiritual paradise.. not going to lie...........i'm filled with rage right now..

Aussie Oz

I could not imagine the pain levels of that family, or any family that loses someone to murder. It is a sad fact that the first suspects in a murder are family followed by friends and associates. But it is a fact that these are the most likely culprits.

I guess the police didn't have to look far.

But we should be careful about speculation here....

Patterson on the line: Watchtower claims that paying cash bond would cause immediate irreparable harm and hardship

by cedars in

a new article for those who are interested.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/patterson-on-the-line-watchtower-claims-that-paying-cash-bond-would-cause-immediate-irreparable-harm-and-hardship.

.

cedars.

Aussie Oz

Whatever the game the WT legal eagles are playing, regardless of Cedars thoughts on the matter, I seriously doubt the Judge or Conti's team will have the wool pulled over their eyes.

I guess this is what happens when ordinary people try to undertand the law...It's not designed or worded for us to get a grip on. The law is an ass.

WT article on Esther: dead wrong.

by JeffT in

a few weeks ago the pastor at our church gave the sermon from the book of esther.

this sparked some old wt memories.

i looked through my old bound volumes and found this gem of misguided scholarship from the writing department.

Aussie Oz

I guess if i ask my wife to wear her favorite high heels when we go out that i expect her to be naked save for the shoes, for she is beautiful in form...

What is the New Light?

by JustHuman14 in

hi everyone.

i haven't visited the forum for quite a long time, and specially when it has changed before 2 years(my previous avatar was justhuman, since 2001), but i couldn't retrieve my account after the change of the forum, so i create a similar avatar.. so i didn't had time to look what's going on in the wt world, for at least 2 years( i was busy building my carreer to the titanic) and i just pop in to ask what are the new developments in wt world.

any new lights that the gb came across with, or god directed them to present to the flock at the apropriate time?.

Aussie Oz

yeah...the latest new light (as presented at the AGM but not yet in print) appears to be that the Governing Body is now the Faithful and discreet slave, NOT the remnant of the 144000

Illuminati and the Watchtower

by marriedtoajw in

jw
friends

now i know this forum has already touched on this topic many times but i'm coming at this from a personal angle.

as i've said on this forum before, my wife is an active jw and has been getting more and more active while trying to indoctrinate my 21 year old son, who still lives at home and is not working but is going to a community college.

my wife takes him and my 7 years old daughter to some meetings and conventions.

Aussie Oz

Forget about the illuminati, the new world order and the WT. It looks to me that this is getting in the way of the real issues: the religion is a crock of shit, they are being duped no doubt but this angle is a futile exercise, as is trying to convince them the religion is wrong.

Listen to smarter posters than myself about how to 'help' them.

On the matter of your marriage, you may well find what you fear is true. My father was in a very similar situation 40 years ago and he lost. Its harsh, its hard and its a reality. I feel for you.

hang in there but chill on the new world order... it matters not.
