Slim nd Cofty are both right.....
by The Rebel ini haven't had anything to contribute for a while so i have been lurking, which is a pleasant pastime.. anyway i have really enjoyd slimboyfats way of thinking, and i don't think such thinking needs discharge from the mental asylum.
i guess i am out of ammunition to argue with coftys may i say more rational thinking.. so whilst i find it difficult to refute what cofty says, i also find slimboyfats thinking refreshing, and that's why i say they are both right.
maybe a better explanation would be i once worshipped an organisation which was referred to as " mother" and it wrapped me up in baby diapers.. as far as i am concerned both slim and cofty are independent thinkers, no longer controlled by the insane thinking and rhetoric of other people.

Man is a creature of God.
by The Rebel ini believe that if i am to believe " man is a creature of god" i am putting my trust in the wisdom of past ages.
i also believe many political leaders, pretend to believe in this acient wisdom because they reason the public will be more tolerant of there acts of aggression if it is believed they are acting with a higher powers approval.. anyway i have concluded that:- .
when acts of aggression are carried out by our governments people still like to believe our leaders have a higher authority's approval.. do you think my observation:.

The greatest movies ever made.......
by The Rebel inand they were amazing, 8 years of my boy growing up captured on a few films i once made.. the past is of course not the only thing to look forward to, but as i watch these movies i see so many acts of love and so many perfect times that i had forgotten.. so my question is do you have " the greatest ( photos) or movies in your collection" that you may have neglected?
.
if so my xmas present to you is, take them out the drawer and dust the cobwebs away...... the rebel..

How much of a " free-spirit" are you?
by The Rebel ini think every one wants to be a " free- spirit", but what does that really mean?.
i ask the question because :-.
a) i decided i would not give the religiouse organisation i belonged to the power to force me to rebel within its organisation, when the " free-spirit" inside me no longer wanted to be controlled by this religion.. b) i now realise the " free-spirit" within me that demanded independence from w.t control has also come with great consequences, which has now made the price of my liberation seem shallow.. anyway i am not well educated, but i do now appreciate the psychological and emotional consequences my actions have had on my family, and friends.

I thought we were on the weaker side....
by The Rebel inbut i now firmly believe the internet will conquer the watchtower.
i say this because before the internet such educational truth had to be searched for in books and the authority of the author was often held with suspicion.
so i think the important questions should now be:-.

You are the Prosecution...
by The Rebel inand on this thread i want you to open your case against the governing body.. to make this fair i must select a jury.
i would therefore ask any lurking witnesses to be part of that jury.
now i would like court to begin and the prosecution to bring the charges against the " self called representives of jehover god".

Is the elevated tone of the G.B disappearing..
by The Rebel inand with it the language in the w.t loosing its authority?.
i ask the question because, with the g.b now appearing before members on their social media, and reluctantly on royal commissions my opinion is :-.
a) the g.b can no longer hide like wells's invisible man.

I have noted many threads and posts on political inclinations....
by The Rebel inwhich i think is great, since as witnesses we never displayed any political inclinations.. but whilst political alligence means we are taking on new values, we are once again subject to trusting what the leaders say, and subject to propaganda from the media.. personally i see the irony of this situation, and must confess to being very skeptical, about supporting any political party.
in fact i am glad as a witness i abstained from voting, because i believe history has shown the vote that would have shaped my conscience would have been misplaced.. anyway how convinced are you of your new political views?.

Do you need Art and Music in your life?
by The Rebel inmusic and art have been a big part of my life since i was a little boy, and although i was never able to play a decent guitar, i can paint.
my art teacher from college said " i was the most imaginative and constructive pupil she had ever had.
" i loved that comment, because in translation i realised it meant i had to work harder than other more naturally talented students, but the effort was always worth it.
