jwundubbed - I love that machine. I've thought about making a Mbria it has metal pieces that you play like an piano. But it also is like a music box which was also in the machine you posted.

Unfortunately, my mac died and I am debating on whether to replace with mac or go to the darkside and make a pc. So all my sketches etc as well as my ability to post pictures is gone. I'm just getting back into doing art after all the wasted years of the WT. So sometime I will get something going Jayk.

Steampunk is a world of What If? What if the world went to steam instead of electricity. Where like the Victorian age, things of everyday use were beautifully adorned as well as useful. One of my projects is a 1890 ish violin case. It's cracked down the middle so I don't feel bad about doing things to it. I've seen where people fill it with expanding foam and make it a gun case (not doing that) Possibly tea caddy or liquor case. : )

Cool. I will read that tomorrow Jayk. I plan on doing some artwork/3d stuff in steampunk. I love looking at all the twists they do with Star Wars, Wizard of Oz and mechanical bugs and and and on and on.

Where in the bible does it say that the governments will turn on the religions. Like the Dubs always say this will happen

by goingthruthemotions in

i have not been here in a while, just trying to move on with my life all the while dealing with a very pimi brainwashed wife.. so the other day she started saying that we will have to go our own ways when things get worse with this world.

she has said this before because she believes that the government will turn on religion and the great and powerful wizards (guardians of doctrine g.o.d.

) will call everyone and tell them where to go.. thank god, (no pun intended) i have been out of the loop for such a long time.

Well it may not be scriptures that will dissuade her from following the GB.

I believed like all JW's that false religion falls first, then the "true" religion is left standing, only to be attacked. But god is supposed to step in and save most of his true followers. But if you read Daniel, in each prophecy, "true" religion is attacked first. Those parts tie in with the "two witnesses" in Rev 11:7. Those "two witnesses" are killed by "the beast that ascends out of the abyss" The WT says that happened in 1916-1919. But WT also says that the beast from the abyss is none other than the UN - which didn't come out of the abyss until around 1940's (?) This won't mean anything to her I'm sure. Sorry.

Where to go for the 'Deep Things'?

by cobweb in

as someone who has been out a while, i wondered what publications a jw would turn to now if they want to do serious bible research.

are there any meaty jw publications left?

i haven't heard of the insight books being revised.

Thanks Cobweb for posting that selection of 1984. I've read Animal Farm but haven't been inclined to read 1984.

Having grown up in the WT, I've been dragged to assemblies all my life. They used to have hours of talks, discussing Revelation, the Trinity, what will happen in the future - all with countless scriptures to be looked up.

10 (?) years ago or so, they started doing 2 day assemblies that revolved around, God Loves you, Don't beat yourself up over Past Sins - not a lot of meat, but some kind of feel good stuff. I felt relieved in a way but not really. I noticed that the amount of scripture references had gone down.

Strangely tho, about that time or a little later, the WT we studied, become grandiose in vocabulary. There was a proliferation of words that many had to look up in the dictionary. (if they even had time to) This didn't go without notice and some complained about it, while others, incorporated them into their comments. Even going as far as to add several more into their answers so that 4 or 5 large words were the main construct of a sentence. One brother continued to do that in all the meetings, making people laugh after his comments and shake their heads. I thought at the time "Jesus would never talk like this to people"

Nowdays, people are "happified" or should I say "Stultified?"

I do think JW's are happy that there is less to read and think about. They've already heard the GB Stewardesses instructions on how to safely fly into the new order a few hundred thousand times. They are good to go so why worry about the small details.

Death of a last Grandparent

by ScottyRex in

jw
friends

still read this forum from time to time, and a long time member originally since early 2000's.

recently lost my last surviving grandparent, my great and wonderful nan.

what a flood of emotions that released!

Sounds like Nan was a best friend kind of Grandma. You don't always find that in families so it's a great treasure that you have in memories.
