I can just see a T-rex tripping another dinosaur over and yelling "No this ones dead..." "NO I AM NOT!!!"
And done in the voices of John Cleese and Graham Chapman! :)
yes my friends if you went to "witness college" you would know dinosaurs before "eden" ate tomatoes.
and in paradise snakes will give tender kisses to your ankles!!
what would david attenborough animal expert think of this nonsense.

Paradise sharks will eat seaweed and lions will eat pineapples...What ?? Dinosaurs ate patatoes!!!
I had a different curriculum. At Witness U I was taught by some visionary witness academics that:
1. Lions stripped the bark off of trees like elephants...
2. Sharks ate carrion. You see animals still died - and to prevent them from stinking up the place, what we call predators today used to feed on dead carcasses.
3. Carnivorous dinosaurs also dined on carrion.
Our Paleontology department dismissed hominid fossils as extinct apes or deformed humans.
Man I miss those heady days.
okay, okay, okay - i know we're not supposed to jump to conclusions.
but the odds this is a "naturally occurring event" are pretty low.
and it's just the sort of megastructure we would expect an advanced alien civilization (type 2) to build.
yeah, they'll leave it all, their home, savings, etc.. never mind helping out their struggling children who never had a chance.. fuck this organization and everything it stands for when its members think god will favor them more by willing everything to a corporation instead of their own struggling seed..

I have the opposite problem. My only child, my daughter, is still stuck in and I hate the idea of her donating one penny of my hard earned money she will inherit to the cult. It makes me angry every time I think of it.
a couple of middle aged jw sisters dropped round unannounced the other day, they were only being kind i suppose, after some awkward silences i voiced a couple of my issues with the religion, (the safe ones), sort of an explanation as to why i'm no longer attending, namely: everyone else will die, lack of support for young ones, mistreatment/judgementalism by prominent ones who get away with it because 'they're imperfect and we have to wait on jehovah' etc.
well, after sympathizing and telling me horror stories about awful elders and their own kids' issues in the past (how some left the truth, had bitter divorces from fellow witnesses etc) they then begged me to 'come back to jehovah', 'he misses me' apparently.
finally, the more pushy one summed it up with 'you're thinking too much, it's not good for you', 'some issues you just have to put in a drawer and forget about....'.. hmm nice reasoning sisters, theocratic school training at its finest!
Do you think they counted the visit as time?
Of course, silly me.
absolutely disgusting!.

Does this sound like a man who is inspired by God?
No. He sounds like an idiot.
i have in the past micro dosed on iboga, shrooms, i can tell you that they work a lot of good brain activity and even generate new brain cells.
it also starts redirecting neuron to fire different pathways promotes good neuron health a kind inner brain massage which in the process brings up old forgotten memories stored ages ago and sorta reprocesses them in a new light of the present.
this stuff iboga is genuinely good but you have to treat it with respect and do you homework of finding out how to best use it.. have a look at some of these vids perhaps briefly skim them and then picture the gb doing the stuff and what would happen.

If they went on an Ebola Trip - I'm in.
surely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.
yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.
i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.
Earlier in this thread: We frequented a spot in the car just to smoke marijuana. Lol. Yes, I know I am unconventional in relation to the rest of the religions beliefs but Jah knows my heart. It's only a plant
Then later: ......I just wanted to start a post that doesn't talk about sorrow, death, disfellowshiping, loneliness, etc. I don't mean to step on anyone's toes at all. Just here to be that one topic that isn't full of sadness.
so i studied with this guy who is now an elder in my moms hall.
she has cancer and is black and blue from it.
we are like real family so i invite him over for drinks and pizza.
When Jehovah's Witness elders take on that Watchtower personality of leadership they no longer are themselves, they are playing a role. Just as in the military: The higher an officers rank is, generally the more they will portray a caricature/role of that rank and their own personality will disappear. Also in organizations like corporations, CEO's and executives personalities disappear to be replaced by the image of the executive and so on. There are exceptions of course but that is how things generally are.
My point is that when you are playing a role, you are doing just that. How can you really and fundamentally connect with people if you are not being yourself? Because all you're really doing now is a job.
