Unity & the noosphere (by a Jesuit palentol...
by Abaddon ini was introduced by means of a reference in a novel to a french scientist, theologian and philosopher, teilhard de chardin (1881 - 1955).
i've not actually read any of the guy's stuff, as i only today got round to having a look on the internet, but it's interesting stuff.. as a paleontologist, de chardin has a rather dodgy past - he was either taken in by or part of the piltdown man conspiracy.
as a theologian he was an unconventional jesuit priest and roman catholic, eventually assigned to china due to his unconventional beliefs.

Goodness gracious me...
by Abaddon inhi people,.
well, i kicked the jwd habit a few years back, but idle curiosity and a long daily commute got me sniffing around the other day, and after trying every possible password i have ever used i get back in.... it's been long time everyone... cannot believe that, give or take a tiny bit, everything (and everyone) is the same.
some new names, some missing... has anything major happened in dubbieland or xdubbieland?

JW publications are so toxic they result in False Memory Syndrome
by Abaddon ini know the effect of the lovely blood and gore illustrations in the borg publications has beendiscussed, but i think here is proof postive that speculaion they are harmful to children is actually true.. it concerns events after a baby's body was found in rupert, idaho.
the case had no leads, although obviously some people believed it was proof of satanic ritual abuse, until one ay tyhey had a call.
a child protection official in san bernardino county, calif., was on the line.

Special Christmas Gifts (1 daughter, 3 nephews)
by Abaddon inthis christmas is a special one.. first of all it'll be the first i've celebrated with my eldest daughter.
she turned 16 this summer and moved to the netherlands from the uk to live with me and my fiance.
she is absolutely delighted with trees and tinsel and everything about it; her face when we went to the christmas decorations department was a classic... she has her own tree in her bedroom and i swear it's about to go through the floor it has so many fricking decorations on it... talk about tinseltown.... it is also our first christmas in our new house, which we moved to to make my daughter's move possible.. and finally, over the past few weeks i have learnt that three of my nephews have told their parents they are not going to meetings any longer.

Hi San Francisco!!
by Abaddon inwell, i had a last minute change of plans and rather than having a us client visit my company this week in europe, i flew out to sf this weekend and had a meeting this monday and tuesday in sunnyvale.. last time i was in ca was back in... oooo... i was 14 i think and i am 40 now, so fricking ages.
i have been back to the us four times since, last was seatle in 1999.. i always find it very interesting; i am in the ramada downtown on 7th between howard and fulsom, also stayed a night in sunnyvale.
sunnyvale was just ac'd room after ac'd room but i did have some personal time on sunday and today (i fly back 7am wednesday).. it is a bit of a shock for us (pinko commie socialist) europeans to vist the us.

"Birth" Announcement
by Abaddon ini am proud to announce the delivery of a bouncing 'baby' girl, 120 or so pounds and about 63 inches long, after an uneventful 11 hour drive.. in other words, i've "imported a daughter" (she's posted a little here under the handle abbadette).
she's sixteen now and has decided to come and live with her dad.
as this involves changing country, leaving her mum, brother, sister and friends behind, and going to school where she doesn't (yet) understand a word of the language it is (in my biased opinion) really rather brave.
