Won't work, either you join or she leaves. If you join, then know it's forbidden to have fun and enjoy life. You'll be guilted on anything remotely fun in place of 'service' and 'study'.

Pictures in the Watchtower
by Sour Grapes inafter sitting through last sunday's watchtower i got so sick of seeing the bobbing/nodding heads when talking about the pictures.
they act like god himself took the picture.
there must have been 10 comments about the group in service and the one brother was looking at his phone with a smile, which is a dead give away that he was reading something interesting.. what got me was how the older brother in the posed picture had a bible in his hand had a stern look on his face looking at the young brother.

I'm sure the JW's get super excited when they have an opportunity to comment on pictures because it allows them to say words not already printed and to give the illusion that they can think for themselves and develop a true comment in their own words. -

I thought Christmas was more a catholic origination???
by EndofMysteries infrom when a jw, it was at least always told to me how catholics took on christmas, and all the other pagan celebrations etc.
recently i met a russian who said they are catholic and in russia they don't really celebrate christmas.
it's more an american thing and that new years is the bigger deal and the closest thing to christmas to them is something on like jan 7th.

Also met a Puerto Rican also said raised Catholic and that they didn't celebrate Christmas either.
I know the USA was originally protestant and in some areas Christmas was banned until the late 1700's.
So what's the real scoop on Christmas?

Here are some differences though....
Most "Christian" faiths teach that the old testament commands are no longer to be followed and are more of a history lesson. So no cutting off of hands, etc. Also to my knowledge no Chrisitian religions are killing each other over the correct interpretation of Christianity. Differences with new and old testament.
Islam however has nothing that I know of that cancels out it's harsh punishments and treatment.

1 Cor 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.

Here are my thoughts, especially when my above post link points out about America have the most shootings,etc.
There are some unique variables we have that likely contribute to it.
Aside from the fact the easy availability of guns and semis.....
1. Mental meds - This one is huge yet so silent I bet most of you will have never heard or thought of this before. Many meds being prescribed, depression meds, etc, have DANGEROUS side effects and withdrawal effects! Not only dangerous to the user but to everyone around them. If you do some research on some of them, effexor for example, you can find tons of posts on people getting uncontrollably violent after taking it or withdrawing from it. Many of the others can do the same. Yet they are prescribed like candy. I don't know why after any crime/mass shooting/etc a record isn't kept on the meds they have been taking, when prescribed, when stopped, etc to get solid information. But for those who had no history of violence, this would be one of the first things to look at. Americans are more medicated than any other country.
2. Vacation/Employment law - Most are afraid to take off their meager 2 week vacations each year. Whereas in Europe average 1 to 2 months vacation per year. No doubt stress and no recharge time will contribute to breaking points.

When researching groupthink/telepathy/etc stuff I came across an article that based on all mass shootings showed statistically if there is a mass shooting, especially if there had not been one for awhile, then within the next two weeks is the greatest risk for another. That they become like an infection. It's interesting how this one does fit the profile of that two week mark from the planned parent hood one.

Could trends and group think be evidence of a form of telepathy?
by EndofMysteries ini was thinking the other day about trends.
think back over the decades and how generally the majority of people will feel or like or dislike the same things.
people comment how awful and ugly things that trended in the past were.

Most trends now only happen when things get publicity (which is the environmental stimulus). If some tribesman in the Amazon suddenly wanted to buy a cabbage patch doll* then I'd believe it.
But if proximity plays a role then that would never happen and would explain why trends and such are largely grouped. There can be opposite trends in different states for example. Take beards for example. Not long ago people didn't really like them. If you as a person did not like them but suddenly or recently are beginning to like them, is that because your own taste has changed, because of peer pressure, or within a certain proximity just a person seeing a beard and 'thinking' they like it, does that message get picked up by you, and the more people and more frequency that happens that it actually influences your own taste then you begin to like it? So with trends, it becomes exponential in speed and scope once they reach a certain threshold.

Interesting Johnathon Drake.
The past couple of days I looked a bit more into telepathy as every couple of years I revisit this topic and if any advances or changes in the world/research/etc about it. I found some interesting things. Especially with autism.
But here is something further I came up with on my own today. If telepathy is real then the ability to take in thoughts and consciously know them would be partially based on our sensory and what our brain allows us to sense and what is filtered. Several months ago I tried lsd strictly based on my curiosity of what hallucinations were. I was so shocked on what I saw, the colors, vividness, and all my other senses changed/amplified/etc. Learning about how the thalamus in our brain is a filter and how it's thought that lsd interupts the filtering allowing colors and other things sensed to come in much more amplified, I wondered if lsd and telepathy might have a match. Googleing it, found many posts and experiences about it, yet nobody had any idea why. But if it's real, and the thalmus filters a lot of sensory input, and lsd interfers with that, then that would explain why people on it may experience it. I almost want to try it again to do some telepathy tests.
