As a young man, I spent a bit of time in Catholic Hospitals, as they were the best available, and close to home .... and I have never had ANY one disrespect or not honor my request for no blood or blood fractions. I paid for the services .... no more a violation of protocol than if I was, as an example, a furnace installer, and being paid to install a heating unit in a Catholic church. Besides... as sick as I was, that statue they universally had nailed to the cross across from the foot of my bed, looked a lot sicker and emaciated than I did, and that cheered me up!

Considering the title of the video, among a person of knowledgeable experience, that in my opinion would be a "given".. SURPRISE!! Not.

I am so HAPPIFIED that I am more than happy ... which is one step short of an orgasm. I am grinning so much the phrase "Wanna know how I got these SCARS?" is rattling around, and the top of my head is threatening to pop off. Saliva and bubbles are leaking through my enormous grin, and I am worried .... not about me, but about the two guys with rifles on top of the bulldozer dug ditch I am following this column of sheep into. ... perhaps I should wipe this foam off of my mouth.

That's nothing .... when I had a parakeet, I would use a magnifying glass to compare the serial numbers on the side of each individual HARTZ MOUNTIAN bird seed.

sigh .... this is true. I was suspicious of about 65% of them ... knowing they were false personas ... but I did not have enough evidence to know WHO. I remember when I was a small boy, and our family was on a long car trip, in the summer, with no car air conditioning ... going to visit relatives. I told my Father "Daddy, I gotta PEE!" He, not wanting to stop, said "Hang your butt out the window, and pee." Horrified at the idea I voiced my objections, and he said "Oh, yeah, well ... hold one hand over your face so they cannot see whose butt they are looking at! Everybody has a butt ... just don't let them know that one is YOURS!" .... same thing.

They wanted to get their picture taken with this PARTICULAR cart, because it had a small human head with mouse ears !

Actually, this is very VERY good advice from an organizational viewpoint ... because about this particular subject ( ... about this particular subject ... ) most JWs are as ignorant as a rock, having NOT been told about what is really going on, and having no natural curiosity that demands they become well informed. It's like a large flock of Turkeys, realizing it is pouring rain, they look up to see what is going on ... and they all drown. Never go into a gunfight with a knife. You don't tug on Superman's cape..... You don't spit into the wind ... You don't pull the mask off the Ol' Lone Ranger, and you ... don't pick a fight with an empty gun. Don't mess around with jim lyrics.mp4

This week one of the Earth's Intellectual Giants died ... Charles Krauthammer ... and having listened to his razor sharp clarity and dry humor for years, I am truly saddened and depressed by his death. I agree with Space Merchant, that there as many types of JWs as there are people in general .... some are terrified by everything .. some NOTHING terrifies them. It seems the higher you go, the more scared they are. This has been true since World War II, when the rank-and-file brothers held firm against Nazi terror, and "management" caved and compromised. It is very hard to get razor sharp clarity in one's perspective and observations, but one thing is sure. The more words you use, the probability of clarity greatly diminishes. Krauthammer once said the way to solve the Immigration Crisis letting terrorists into the United States is making each captured illegal eat a bacon sandwich. Ten pages, summarized in one sentence.

The way that disfellowshipping is handled today has only one purpose ... to maintain the powers structure of the Governing Body. If a person was disfellowshipped for being right ... he is NOT automatically reinstated ... the fact that he was right makes his crime ESPECIALLY grievous.

Any "Theology", or "theology" has to make common sense, and have the long term best interests of Civilization as it's goal ... which is what Jehovah has planned for mankind. If you live in a fantasy world of playful animals romping across and open field, and cartoon characters giving morality lessons, in the fantasy world you will stay. In the REAL world everything that lives has the natural right of self defense .... if they choose to exercise it ... and can competently manage it ... and have the added value sometimes of pure, dumb luck. Mothers DO NOT have the right to abort their children ..... UNLESS ... their children are threatening to kill them, such as a ectopic pregnancies in the case of ANY OTHER REAL THREATS TO THE MOTHER'S SAFETY OR LIFE. You have the NATURAL RIGHT to defend your life and welfare, by killing those that if you don't stop them .... WILL KILL YOU. If you choose to exercise that right ...you are allowed to kill your own children ... in self defense. It is no more theologically complicated than that. You know a scriptural interpretation is correct ... when it makes good common sense in the real world. If the explanation sounds contrived ... it is.

It was a check drawn on the Bank of Iran, which required Hawaiian I.D. I have been telling various versions of that "Shaggy Dog" story for a half century and more, and this is the first time the risk of the Funeral Director cashing the check has come up.

The thing people often fail to realize is that there are EXTREMELY righteous people out there, inside and outside of Jehovah's Witnesses, that are dullards. They do not know they are dullards .... and it doesn't bother them a bit. It's like being dead ... you don't know you are dead ... but it makes it HARD for those who love you, and everything about you. My very best guess about Stephen Lett, who I call "Poppin Fresh" (The Pillsbury Dough Boy), is that he is a very fine Brother who is truly one of the Anointed, and God loves him dearly ... although the cynical side of me visualizes him taking huge bags of money and a shovel out the main gate of Warwick, in the dead of night, across the street, and into the woods , to the massive Real Estate acreage he has in his name. Sorry ... I just cannot "turn it off". My best guess is that he DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE THINGS HE SAYS ARE NOT TRUE ... which would make him totally innocent of the charge that he is ANY kind of liar. As John 9:41 says, paraphrased "...Justice must be tempered with mercy for Blind pawns.". Even blind pawns that think of themselves as enlightened Power Players. For a person to be ANY kind of liar .... he has to actually KNOW that what he is saying is not true.

A 9,560 year old tree does not have a Bible, ... but it and its buddies can be made INTO Bibles !

According to my calculations, derived from a mayonnaise jar, I keep on my from porch to catch "divine acorns", during Noah's Lifetime there were 26,942 people directly created by God... which I call "Homo Theocraticus" on the Earth, before the flood . There were probably about 300 MILLION sub-"Homo Theocraticus", some classified as "Homo Sapiens", and some as "Homo Erectus", which had evolved over several billion years, but not considered "real" people with a spritual capability or destiny. Think of them as Mankind Beta Version 1.0.  Of course, trillions had been born, lived their lives and died before the generation that was alive at the time of the Flood, but had no more standing with God than Non-Israelites had, later. There may be some slight allowance for error, and the "divine acorn collection jar" captures falling "divine acorns", but it also catches leaves, bugs, and an occasional squirrel that gets his head stuck in the jar. One time I caught a black raven sitting on the edge of the Jar, looking inside, and wondered if it might have been an "Omen Pigeon". Ya never can tell with Ravens ..... ...... and don't even get me started on "Homo Stupido". Â

I rest my case ......

I am sure the Society will properly address this with true compassion and understanding after a Billion or so dollars in Real Estate is confiscated by the National Governments, such as the Russian Federation. Solutions will be MUCH harder.

My wife has actually seen a disfellowshipped Father who after attending his Son's Wedding, followed the people to the local park where the pictures were being taken under the trees, and he was met on the sidewalk by both of his sons and asked not to enter the park. He asked if he could stand on the sidewalk, and take his own pictures, and they asked him to leave, because it would make the other Jehovah's Witnesses "uncomfortable". With great anger and obvious great pain he replied "We wouldn't want anyone to be "UNCOMFORTABLE", would we?", as they turned their Father away. She tells me that he looked like he had been stabbed in the heart, he crumpled, and with controlled rage, and an obviously broken heart, staggered away back to his car. I wonder how "uncomfortable" it would have been for them, for him to have died right then and there, on the sidewalk, of a heart attack? Jehovah's Witnesses are becoming universally known for one thing ... their penchant for family cruelty. It is SO EXTREME .... that Pacifists are getting an earned reputation for terroristic cruelty.

I watched Jack Ryan's supplied Youtube video and the best... the very BEST part ... was when the video narrator was concluding everything and made the statement ... "This is just food for thought". It is unusually refreshing to hear such intellectual honesty. I wish we would say something like that when we come up with explanations of everything about everything, instead of always being 100% WRONG all the time, about ALMOST everything... but if you refuse to believe it, your family is taken away from you as hostages.

I have often wondered it it was me, or EVERYBODY else, that had problems with delirium ...... and then I realized ! ... ... For me, it's not a problem .... .... I rather ENJOY IT

The contrary viewpoint .... makes sense ONLY to people who never never experienced Anarchy ... which is worse than Stalin, Hitler, and Phil Pot combined. I grew up in the "Hippie Years", and was disinclined to obey any authority ... so I have a "resist forever" personality. The Bible counsel is quite plain, and very well considered. Submitting to legal, empowered Government is a protection, in most cases. Anarchy is when the strong steals your woman, and while you are dying, they are cutting the meat off of your legs for the stew pot. ...and that is ...... "normal".

So ... assume every five years a branch bends over to touch the Earth, and it reproduces a tree trunk ... and the old trunk dies out.. That means that the trunk has replanted itself, and the old trunk died 1,912 times. Boy, if the math had worked out to 1914 years this would have been GREAAAAT! to plug into the GB Body Member David Splaine's "overlapping generations chart!" Now... 9,570 years divided by 5 DOES make 1914 years, plus ... you can get a "9" out of it and a "570", which sounds very biblical. It is late ... I have the flu, and am very tired and congested. I will let better minds than mine figure out the obvious typical / anti-typical ramifications.

It looks like the GB is slowly adopting the customs, practices and organizational practices, piece by piece of the Catholic Church. As long as I can still eat Polish Sausages in Friday, and not go to Hell .... I'm good !

I just happen to have a spare "star in a stick". When you tap the star on something, glitter comes out. I will give it to him for free, as I control the glitter supply. BROUHAHAHAHAHAAA!

Hey ... they had "expenses" ! Yeah .... that's the ticket! "Expenses"

Of course there is NO POSSIBLE WAY TO KNOW .... but my best guess is NO. The Borg and Ferengi are fictional "Star Wars Universe" creations by the movie and TV series scriptwriters. That we can say for sure.
