Or perhaps the perfect robot....
so my wife and i were up in edinburgh for the weekend for the international festival - we had a great weekend including going to see the military tattoo at the castle.. we were walking up the royal mile watching the street performers among hundreds of thousands of others from all over the world when i spotted the cult cart in it's usual spot being universally ignored.
feeling confident after my confrontation a couple of weeks ago we decided to go and have a chat with the two men.
i asked them if they were keeping up with the events in australia and proceeded to share lots of information with them.

some time back, i was listening to sara lazar, a neuroscientist at massachusetts general hospital and harvard medical school, one of the first scientists to take the anecdotal claims about the benefits of meditation and mindfulness and test them in brain scans..
that day i thought i should test meditation myself.
though i reaped many benefits (physiological and mental) over a period, what i want to share with you is the spiritual benefit i got.

Ding9 minutes agoI saw a cart at a street corner in a major US city.
In the time I watched them, absolutely no one paid any attention and the JWs made no effort to engage anyone in conversation.
Just putting in time...
Good. I hope they all shut the hell up and leave everyone alone! The less they talk the fewer people will be victims of their lies and cruelty.

I salute you Cofty. That is human patriotism at its finest! I also love throwing their cruelty into their faces.
By the way, thank you so much for that reading list. New facts, new understanding and happier for it.
about a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.
if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.
here is the link.
a gb helper was at the rc.
this guy was decked out.
fancy expensive suit and cuff-linked shirt, super fancy cuff-links.

Just brown a governing body member in a skillet, then add the enclosed seasoning packet and pasta. Simmer until done.
Pfft. GB Helper is way cheesier than Hamburger Helper!
That made me laugh. My, but the humor hose is giving this forum a chuckle shower tonight!
hi i've been reading a web sight called borean pickets.

although the guy writes some real thought provoking stuff, i sort of don't know what to make of it.
so last night i was having a wonderful meal in a very nice restaurant when we heard what we thought was a loud clap of thunder.................. it was a bomb.
yards from my hotel.
thankfully i made a few decision that meant i wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time.
well in a month where i had a friend of 20 years tell me "we can't kick it no mo" because i no longer go to meetings, i had an even older friend who is coming to visit me, call me and tell me hes out.. currently a high profile ms who gives talks out all over the place, the elders said they are recommending him for appt to the body in sep when the co is coming through.
but nope......hes about to step down all together.. what did it?
because i am not disfellowshipped, and soft peddle my issues with the org, i was able to speak to him about things like blood, and a couple other things.
