  Is your Intellect Pre-Enlightenment or Post-Enlightenment?

  by Terry in

  1. social
  2. current

  before the age of enlightenment the earth was filled with many nations living under vastly differing beliefs about the world.. tribes, nations and empires possessed fanciful superstitious beliefs about their own importance in the big picture.. religion helped man find a place among fearful gods and demons.

  faith and belief, ritual and performance duties, helped man allay fears by.

  becoming active in appeasing the gods and shunning the evil spirits.. judaism allowed adherents a means of ridding themselves of sin (animal sacrifice) and accounting for wrongs (justice via law).. christianity removed animal sacrifice and substituted fealty to the church (catholic).

  Terry,

  I have read some of your experiences in life. You have been through alot.

  I also see alot of resentment in your posts, but you are not the only one.

  You will find peace when you get rid of the resentments.

  so i'm thinking back to all the things i ever wanted to do when i was little.

  and could not do because, anything i wanted to do was bad association or just bad.. when i was 4, i wanted to do gymnastics.. "no.

  you get pulled into nationalism and develop a competive spirit.".

  There are many people like Terry.

  They need to judge.

  They need to find fault.

  They need to hide their feelings of inferiority with "education".

  They do these things to keep from seeing what THEY have become.

  just wondering if any ex or current "concious class" dubbers out there take anything; and if it works!

  my family is still in and with everything else going on in my life, sometimes i consider asking my doc about zolft / prosac.. thanks for any replies!.

  i should just ask 85% of my congregation-mates ... lol.

  Maybe the problem is you get upset too easily and then you get mad at all the problems that arise from your getting upset. Then you get depressed, which is anger turned inward.

  Whether you should take medication or not, that is for you to decide, but instead of dealing with the problem, the medication just pushes the problem into the backround, but you will still have it.

  are there pretenders in our brotherhood- as in all religion- that do what is evil?.

  yes.. have we made stupid guesses about some of the prophecies, as all churches do?.

  yes.. does our "organization" make mistakes- as, you guessed it, all do?.

  wasblind,

  Just a word of advice.

  Be careful with that anger, or you might have a heart attack, stroke, or worse.

  The TrueOne,

  I think Night Owl is a troll, because the only time he chimed in is on page 9 right after you posted those picks about the WTS.

  there were a lot of times when he could have chimed in, but what you posted really put him on edge. He's nothing but a troll

  trying to tell us how to think and what to think, he thinks this is the Kingdom Hell.

  wasblind,

  I "chimed in" because I found it interesting that MadJW could set some of you off for nine pages, and now it's twelve. Whatever trueone posted had nothing to do with it, except that his posts added to the count.

  2600 views and from a moron, no less.

  Some people just like bullshit. I can spend weeks polishing an article and be happy to get a few hundred views.

  Fuck this crap. I think I'll become a troll!

  Farkel,

  You made me chuckle.
