for me, being raised as a jehovah's witness denied me of the feelings of empathy other people feel.
for so long, i felt no love for my family, no closeness except that closeness that is demanded by my being greek.
i think it made me into a robot.
Hear you, I cry more each year about the injustices that blanket the earth. Any form of intellect tells us all that there is enough to go around, and sandbox conduct is minimal, but even lowering the bar that far, there sure is a lot of nasty crap going down. Maybe the crying/weeping is "hungering and thirsting for righteousness?"
Heard in my head a Neil Young song, think the words are ..."Country girl, I feel your pain.." (harp comes in).

the universe (which others call the library) is composed of an indefinite and perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries, with vast air shafts between, surrounded by very low railings.
from any of the hexagons one can see, interminably, the upper and lower floors.
the distribution of the galleries is invariable.

Wouldn't it be easier to order the 4 CD-ROM set of Akashic records from Sears, than this?
in the large jw reference bible (page 1578) is a drawing of a man dying on an upright pole.
in penton's book, apocalypse delayed, there is a reference on page 342 to that illustration, mentioning it is only one of 16 drawings, 13 of which show a cross beam.
(another deceitful attempt by jw's).
The WTS deliberately lied to us, and then printed books with quotes that were lies to cover their tracks of previous lies. Their sources are bogus and their scholars were class clowns and unknowns, and even these were misquoted. I once said shame on them, no more!
because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off.

i have a question about this phrase.
Blondie-
Just beautiful! "Endure to the end to be saved." No grace, just keep up the race! BTW, what precious volume did this come out of?
i am evil .
i am considered evil by an entire religious organization that compares me to the biblical ?dog that has returned to its vomit?.
according to this organization i have nothing but eternal damnation to look forward to.
Thankful to have awoke this morning to read something so deep and to the point. We LIVE! Thanks.
because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off.
" (matthew 24:12) .
i have a question about this phrase.
I believe that the "cooling off" also relates to Paul's words to Timothy about in the last days people would be "lacking natural affection." Yes, God's "NAME PEOPLE" would cool off and lack natural affection. We once taught from the platforms and door to door that lawlessness would be in the "world" - and those who said they "did wonders" in God's/Christ's name were not known, "get away from me you workers of lawlessness." Now, who do we believe says, "hey, we did this and that in God's name." Not only would there be a "cooling off" but also "lawlessness." In that light I see today's somewhat "civil" K.H. meetings in a short time going beserk with contention full blown and people disagreeing, people hauled out, men manning the hook as a means of maintaining the program's schedule. I'm not joking, PERHAPS people who post on these boards being involved with others, who at this point wonder what happened to their two tickets to paradise and a way out of here. The "house of God" is not immune. Doesn't Paul state that it starts there?
"dad, you have to promise not to tell mom.
my kids and i were sitting down at dinner time when my son (with a big grin on his face) said that.
ok, ok, he got me and my 10 year old daughter (mom's little spy) to promise not to tell on him.
What's next -- itching powder in the soap decanter or sneezing powder all over the literature counter? That was great!

I'm hip with the program, 11/1, 11/11, & 3/11/2005 don't drink and drive - no blotter acid either. Okay, we'll watch the radar. Otherwise, what else, the attack of Babylon- hell, more bombings on Iraq? What Babylon, the Great, the Harlot, the Whore? Who? It's now everything, global, everyone, and you're one of it too! The mountain will darken the sun, that's what they once said about Leslie West.

Mulan-
So right you are!
a while ago i started a thread about ?should nothing exist??.
the reason i started that thread was because i was thinking about what we call ?laws?
that ?govern?
NewSense-
After you propel past postmodernism, will you still be taking bowel movements? Many of the "window washers and janitors" on this board have more sense than Kant and dear beloved Soren. As for you and your thesis, I defer to the words, "it's better to do NOTHING, than to waste time." Throw in some William James next time, please.
