  Faced with the reality of mortality

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how have you all coped with facing the reality of our mortality?.

  most of us were raised to firmly believe we would never get old or die... so here we are now having to face the reality that are getting older... we are going to die.. sometimes it really pisses me off that we were never helped to comprehend this most basic of facts.

  we were given a utopian dream as a "fact", and hence never taught how to face our inevitable futures.... thoughts?.

  When I was young, , I had a feeling of invulnerability. that life would go on despite the odds I put in it's way, 13 motorcycle mishaps, landing outside the airport. skateboard speeds that can only be braked by bushes.

  Now, body parts failing one by one, two already replaced, in defiance of "kingdom" promises.

  Dying might be good for the human race, novel genes, ideas to the front. Most old people, even JWs seem to go satisfied, naturally tired, old in years.Never have heard an older one openly recriminating about not living on, not in that shape anyway, had some lucid ones joking though.

  OC: ... I have given birth to two children...

  Sincere congratulations. That was one way to pass along your contribution to the enterprise of life, ongoing, and your other good deeds.

  Cruel as the African situation appears to us, having more offspring is the wrong reaction to recurring crisis, natural or man made. The other, migration, is in full swing, to the detriment of the host populations.

  re Tsunamis. There is a news items on BBC, that on Sumatra, there were Tsunami victims 2000 years ago. Warnings are not enough?

  If the GB member is over 46 years old, they are potentially overlappers, and as such upon their death are betrothed to The"Lamb", a marriage that is to be consumed not later than ~ 2075+. so with a husband going afield like that, the lucky widow, if not a partaker too, might seek consolation in the more down to earth field.(risking the wrath of a now powerful jealous ex-husband?)

  I know of some slim pickings. weightwise.

  Religion is a human invention, a small point where the bible is right, in it, Abel found a way to get rid of the carrion, that even his pet lion would not eat,

  A non communicating god [creator] is useless? well, it is like a lost parent, all the heavy lifting, your making, is done, thank you or not. and:

  Often there are surprises when silent and distant parents have their will read.

  the temptation of jesus.

  8again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

  9“all this i will give you, he said, “if you will fall down and worship me.”.

  Jesus would have validated the flat Earth theory, because only on such a large disk could you have seen "all the kingdoms of the world" from a high enough mountain.

  a few things about this video:.

  it's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed.

  One way ticket to Russia? of course. The local branch (brothers) are expected to fund the trip, of course.

  Travel on whim? overheard a conversation in Columbia Heights once, that showed with what nonchalance such expensive travel plans are decided.
