A chain will always break at its weakest link. It is easy to find out which link is the weakest by simply just stressing the chain until it breaks.

But emotinoal stress is harder to measure. We all snap at different points.

My chain has snapped  when some one I love calls me cheap. How dare you. After all I did for you and you are still not happy.

Tolerance is all about how strong we are. The opposite is weakness. The link snapped because it was weaker than the other links.

Healthy people are generally more tolerant. That is they can withstand more stress.

Big issue is the Quality and Quantity  of that diet. Diets work according to what your goals are. If I want to get fat an lazy I need to go on a Diet of Beer and Ice-cream and Chocolate cake, and have no limits to the quantity.

If I want to get lean then I need to limit my intake of these items, But, how lean is lean? I need some muscle, at least enought to pick up my beer.

If I want to get strong and build muscle, I need to have a diet that has more protein, but that is not enough, I need also to start straining my muscles. Moving around and that sort of thing. But how much muscle do I want? Do I want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Just a hunk of muscle that does no more than pick up weight and put it down again, or do I want to be more like bruce lee, Lean and fit and able to move around very quickly?

The fitness  industry would have us buy all kinds of powdered foods and  sell us all kinds of  exercise equipment at a cost. . The secret of the best of the best is DIET. OK it is great to have some muscle, but. Some of us can not. Some of us are just missing a few body parts and can not exercise.

Do I want a healthy diet or a Poor Diet?

What is needed is a  Change In the Diet that I am already on.

Not one person can survive with out plant life. A diet is anything that I put into my body. Includes water, air, and all the other crap that goes into my system.

Even a cow eats plants, and If I eat the Cow, then I am dependent upon the plants that feed the cow.

Quantity and Quality. Key issues. Also the diet is not just about food, it is about education. Poor education leads to poor health.   A body needs more than just plant life (food) to live. At least my body does. I can not live well if I do not have music, Love, Interest, and a host of other cravings.

Do not put crap into your system and you will not have to worry about getting it out. However it is sometimes out of my control what gets into my body, (and mind). Pollutants are everywhere, food is not as pure as it could be, and education is kind of out of touch with reality some times. I have no control of what gets into my mind, or so It seems?. Tv Radio, and just talks around the “Water Cooler” with fellow employees, will fill my mind with all kinds of stuff. (some of it is not that great).

Often I see a tv commercial that shows a lean and fit person using a fad exercise machine. Now, here I am drinking my beer and eating my ice cream thinking that If I buy this machine, I will look like that.

I also have a great dream  machine right between my ears. My mind can fabricate any thing under the stars. So? What to accept as truth? Well Diets work. What the hell is a diet anyway? It IS Everything you put into your body and mind. Simple enough.

So next I had to do an Inventory. An Itemized list of everything that went into me. Next

Now where are we? I suppose weight is an issue. How much does a pound of body weight weigh? 1 Kg of fat weighs just as much as 1Kg of bone, or 1 Kg of muscle or even 1 Kg of water.

Body transformation is a term that I like.

The goal of a diet is to supply you with the nutrients that you need to be happy and healthy.

If your goal is to be lazy, then maybe a diet of morphein and booze would work.

If your goal is to be fit and athletic,  Well then you need more than just diet.

Diet is intake,what about output?

As I understand it, the super natural exists only in the minds of people.

In the super natural world, Supermen can Fly. Spider men can exist.

In the super natural, I can fly and any thing under the sun is possible.

But is the super natural real?

Well, yes. It is real in a sence that I can precieve it in my dreams.

But Ontological? No

The natural world that I live in is so amazing enough as it is.

Dreams are part of that world.

I understand that a part of my brain. Don’t know w what is called.

Is responsible for my dream like state.

Opened an account.

Then proceeded to look at muti-tack recorders.

I am checking the price. I wonder? where is the final order screen?

I have bought a few things from the net, and each and every time I oculd back out BEFORE I Paid.

Now there is this screen saying that I must “Commit” to the purchase.

Wow. Lets go. Marriage.

I push and am looking for info on how to pay Duty, and Taxes and such.

I back out. I do not give my credit card info.  (Thank God)

Now I get Emails telling me that I MUST pay. I am Obligated.

They tell me that i made a Purchase.

OK> then if I made a Purchase “where is my stuff”

They tell me you can’t get your stuff till you Pay Money.

I tell them I paid not Money, So how can that be a purchase??

They told me I hit the “Obligate to buy button”

I tell them that if I was obligated to buy then I would have sent the money.

Why would I not? If I really want to Purchase something then I would pay for it.

I inform them that this is how the USA has gotten into this finacial mess. in the first place.

They sold a lot of stuff, and never got any money for it.

BOOM.

To me a purchase means that a $$$ was exchanged. Anyting else is just speculation or gambling.

No $$$ no sale. Period.

But It is their bushiness not mine.

I see e-bay more of a Online Gambling site. You bid and hope you WIN.

Kinda like the stock market.

Bottom line is that I got more than enough crap to fill my house.

So now I get a Non-Payment strike and my account may be suspended.

I tried to cancel the account, but could not.

I tried to contact help, but all they had was hold the line for 20 minutes. No online chat, no real info.

Now I know that millions and billions of people love e-bay.

I just think that it is not right for me.

Just my story , thank you for reading

PS: After a couple of days, I got my account deleted.

Now I have to wait for 6 months for the smoke to clear.

They are waiting to see If any more items may trickle through.

Final value is this. ” I am not smart enough to use Ebay”

Once upon a time, long , long ago. In a far off land, in a mythical valley that was ruled by supernatural beings known as “Fairy God Bankers” (the fed) , there lived creatures known as ‘Bankers’.

Now the Bankers were farmers, by nature. The bankers loved to farm and farming was their passion. These farmers managed large farms (banks) and milked ‘Cash Cows’. (people who borrow money)

The cash cows were were happy to give their milk (interest payments) to the farmer in exchange for a comfortable stall  to sleep  in, (house with furniture), and enough food to eat.

But one day a disease spread though the valley (greed). The farmers wanted the cows to produce more milk (money). The cows who did not produce more milk were sent to Hamburger Heaven (bankruptcy). Many of the cows became unhappy about this, so many of them left the farm (unloaded their debt) and swore they would never return to the valley .

The farmer lost his income, which came from milking Cash Cows, and when the farmer went broke, he could no longer pay his bills.

The farmer by the law of the land, had to give a portion of his milk, 39% (as a tax) to the fairy God Banker, who ruled the land, But now the Fairy God Banker was also unhappy because he was not getting any milk either (credit crisis).

So the Fairy God Banker thought he would step in and help. He took an empty milk bucket, waved his magic wand over the bucket, and created a truck load of brand new cold fresh milk ( money ) and gave it to the banker (farmer). The farmer now could sell the milk and pay the the “Fairy God Banker” his share in taxes.

Some of the farmers were so happy that they took a $400,000 vacation. But the truck load of milk would soon be all used up, So the farmer had to start working again. The farmer did not know how to get get the cows back into the barn, so that he could start milking them again..

The trouble was that the cows were afraid to come back into the barn. The farmer they thought was cruel and thoughtless because he sent a lot of fellow cows to “hamburger heaven.”

So the farmer was forced to make the stalls even more comfortable than before (renegotiate loans at fair market value). And he had to make  the living conditions better (lower interest rates).  And he had to provide better food, so that the cows would enjoy being milked again (advertise, sell a better story to the public)

In the end the cows all came back into the barn and everyone lived happy ever after, except of course the poor cows that went to hamburger heaven. But in this fairy tale, those cows will all be reincarnated to come back in the next life as either bankers or cows or what ever you want.

That is all we have tonight children.

Dec 16 2008

How to strike a Lethal blow to the American Infidels… Hit them in the pocket book… Money.. The American financial crisis, is evidence enough that the terrorists are winning. While the USA is chasing after a few rock throwing warriors over in ‘who knows where’ the homeland  lies in ruin. No money to save them.

People are forced out of their homes due to lack of money, Money that is going over seas.  The USA spends 58% of their budget on war. Don’t you think the Terrorists know that. Lets stress the American out to the max. The US do war very well and war costs money. Terrorists don’t care about money. Just how much Money have the terrorists invested in this war, compared to the US? Pennies to the Dollar.

When they finally catch ‘Bin Laden’,  the next terrorist guy will appear and give the US another kick in the shin. Then off they go again on another crusade.

Can you fight a faith war with guns?  The weapons of mass destruction that started the invasion of Iraq did exist, but only in the mind of president BUSH, and his staff. He sent the largest military in the world to defeat something that only he and his followers believed in.

Are Guns the weapons to defeat beliefs? I don’t think so. Education would go a long way, but the US spends 6 times more on the prison system than they do on their own education, and 60 times more on weapons than they do on their own welfare.

Terrorist are not that stupid. They know the chain will always break at its weakest link, and that is .. for the average American..MONEY

I could be wrong, but this is my my opinion.

Never do I hear, ” How well did she/he live”

The big item is how much time did they get. How long did they live.

The thought was always on the Quantity of time, Never the Quality of Time.

A person  who suffered miserably for 80 years  with a chronic Illness gets better marks than does someone who has only lived 1/2 that age, but was increadably happy.

Some of us, are always 5 minutes late to wherever we are going, or the train is 4 minutes too late, or something should have happened 3 minutes ago. It seems that we never have enough time.
Why do people get into car wrecks? Not enough time? Just had to run the red light because I was 2 minutes late.

Time addiction is just plain nuts.

The fact is that time can not be held, nor bought, nor sold.

I wait for the day when I can throw all my watches away.

Some day, I will just be able to BE.

Never late, nor early. Always on time.

Please note that I believe that many of our law enforcment officers are doing a good, job. They are neither over worked  nor are they  underpaid.

I deal with mental illness all the time and usually I get results without having to kick someone in the head or shoot them. Most of the crap they deal with is mental illness. I see mental illness as a day dreamer who is having a nightmare or some other bad  dream. the Dreamer can not tell what is real.

There is a part of the brain that dreams. This is active when people are awake. (so to speak)

but what happens when a mountie is mentaly ill, or day dreaming, As the case of Bill Gillespie, shot, and permanently disabled by the judgement of a single officer who most probably should never have been allowed to be a cop in the first place.

Now we have the new bc DUI law that gives cops absoulute power.

http://www.canadianlawsite.ca/impaired-driving.htm#news

This new law has set us back 2000 years. In the old days the Romans would just nail you to a cross and let you die and rot, That is how they controlled the masses. FEAR.  The police and security industry is all about that. FEAR. You cross the line and you will be punished. Would you feel safe being stopped by one of the 30 or so cops listed below? I think not.

Today you can be arrested because the cop is PMS ing or he does not like your tattoo or your demeanour.  If you are a bit of a twitchy guy or gal, then  even if you blow “0″ you can get a suspension because the cop thinks that you are on drugs. And no right to appeal. You have to come up with the cash and the know-how to fight this bastard.  What if you are a sedate person by nature, He will now get you for being too quiet, you must be on drugs.

Remember , our tax dollars pays for this. And have we ever gotten value for our money? I do not mind paying taxes if it gets a result. But Arresting 15000 people in the last couple of months has returned a profit of only 10 lives being saved, at the cost of innocent people having their live ruined, like bill Gillespie, then I think it is a major wast of cash.

In general , we spend 80% of our resources to try and fix 10% of the problem.

Now it seems that the end justifies the means. The cops want to have the right to become legal criminals. Like James bond “a licence   to kill’  absoulute power

A criminal is  someone who causes harm. The law enforcing industry is guilty. of causing harm. Too many innocent people are in jail for crimes they did not commit. Now the real story is that You and I are the real law enforcers, We know who is who.

But never is this the case. They ALWAYS get away with it. Unfair. You bet.

Like I said, We have gone 2000 years backwards.

But take a look at the following 29 cases, and then you decide . This is not the whole of the problem, but just an introduction.

The Canadadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, look good on paper.

http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/charter/Charter_index.html

The charter of rights is there to Guarantee that no police officer can exercise Absolute power, but, as these videos clearly show, that many officers either did not read the charter, or forgot what it said, or just plain ignore it.

There is also a way to keep the Mounties in line. Report your issues.

http://www.cpc-cpp.gc.ca/index-eng.aspx

In any case . A healthy distance between myself and the Mounties, is probably the best insurance that I can have.

(01). A good  kick at a Victoria Night Club.

“” Victoria police Chief Jamie Graham said yesterday that “many officers” who have viewed the video are “not shocked at all.  This is use of force. This is what we’re trained to do,” Graham said.

Very disturbing comment from the Chief of Police. This means that the cops are now an a Attack Squadron, and no longer Peace Officers who are trying to help the community.

(02.).Robert Dziekanski, Tasered to death  at Vancouver airport. Mr. Dziekanski is about the 18th person Tasered to death by the RCMP

Constables Gerry Rundel, Bill Bently, Kwesi Millington, and supervisor Corporal Benjamin Robinson,  Were involved in this senseless death.

(03). Same cop who was involved with the taser death,  was also involved in a Drunk Driving death. Cpl Benjamin Montgomery Robinson was drunk and crashed into a motorcycle and killed Orion Hutchinson. The coverup here is very disturbing.

(04). Ian Bush (1983–2005) , a resident of British Columbia, Canada, was shot in the back of the head and killed while in police custody on October 29, 2005 by Constable Paul Koester.  There have been dozens of police in /custody deaths.

(05). Kevin Geldart, 34, of Moncton, N.B., died after he was repeatedly shocked with Taser weapons by RCMP officers in 2005.

(06).  Mountie Kill Another Mountie. Apparently he had cysts in his brain.

Kevin Gregson, age 43, is a former (RCMP) officer who is alleged to have murdered Ottowa Officer Const. Eric Czapnik in the early morning of December 29, 2009.

http://en.video.canoe.tv/video/featured/featured-videos/1906868830/mountie-arrested-in-ottawa-officer’s-killing/59581822001

(07). ( CBC News) – A Vancouver-area RCMP officer is facing impaired driving charges a second time after getting stopped behind the wheel while his driver’s licence was suspended. This man was a 16 year veteran of the force.

(08). PRINCE GEORGE - An RCMP officer,  Const. Justin Harris,who has been accused of buying sex from two teenage prostitutes in Prince George between 1993 and 2001 has been ordered returned to active duty.

(09).  Both Hughson and Frazer were “highly intoxicated” when they left a bar in Maple Ridge on May 10, 2006

(10). Cpl. Andre Turcotte was sentenced to a 60 day conditional sentence for the assault of a Penticton man in 2007.

(11).  Bill Gillespie,  shot by Rcmp in Chemainus BC while unarmed and laying on the ground. This is only 10 Km from my house. ? Bill was coming back from an AA meeting and did not promptly pull over. The Shooter was a woman cop. The case is so tight lipped that it really makes me sick. Bill is screwed for the rest of his life, and the Public Servant is getting away with it .

(12). Winnipeg. Mob of Officers beat crap out of man who is down and already subdued.

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Charges-dropped-after-video-shows-police-beating-suspect-83074632.html

(13).  Articel in “The Telegram”

http://www.thetelegram.com/index.cfm?sid=335635&sc=79

Const. Donald Alexander Langer of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, a 25 year Veteran, Is charged with DUI and for kicking out the back window of a police cruiser. This is disturbing.

(14). A less disturbing video. Why detain a man and handcuff him in full view of the public, when he in fact is innocent. At least they did not force him to the ground and grind his face to the pavement. The accused has a good message thou. Stand up for your rights, It took hundreds of years to get these rights on paper. Now let us see if the RCMP can read.

(14). Also disturbing is this.  Two rcmp , Graham Belak, 30, and Shawn McLaughlin, 33. Got away with rape. (The Yukon News)

“”McLaughlin, who is married with two children, told the court he asked if the woman was interested in a threesome,”"  What are these guys doing hanging out at parties like this? You have to live two lives as a RCMP. One is the clean cut keeper of peace, and the other is the Get drunk and party life.

(15).  Const. Peter Hodson fired for selling pot. Strange. When they shoot someone to death they get suspended with pay, but selling a harmless substance like pot gets them fired. Screwed up???

(16). On October 2nd, 1999:  Darren Varley (1973-1999)was shot dead by RCMP Constable Michael Ferguson while in police custody. The constable got off with a very light sentence. Why?

(17). June 21 2010,    CTV News

“A member of the Vancouver Police Department has been charged with four counts of domestic assault.”

(18) June 18 2010,    The Citizen: .

Rcmp crashes into a car and sends woman, Pattie Daniels, a 30 years old mother, to hospital in critical condition with skull fractures, who later died as a result of the collision.

An accident? Or was the cop just testing out the power of his/her souped up V8 Cruiser? The cop was a 2 year rookie. Where did they get their training, Hollywood?

(19)A provincial court judge last week ordered a stay of two counts against North Vancouver RCMP Cpl. Darren Baker who was arrested and charged with DUI, saying the Crown failed to disclose evidence.  So he gets away with it.  How convenient?

(20). Paul Boyd  was the man shot and killed by Vancouver police on Granville Street. Aug 2007.  Don’t cops know that the handguns they carry have only one purpose, and that is to kill.

(21.) This disturbs me much.  The charter of rights prohibits people from having Absolute Power. These cops broke All the rules here.  The guy asks, ‘why do I have to put my Camera down’, the cops says ‘Because I told you too’.

(22.)

Two Victoria police officers have been charged with assault against two brothers who were arrested in October 2008 for public intoxication.

Const. Brent Keleher is charged with two counts of assault against Jeffrey Meyers after he was arrested on Oct. 18, 2008 — one while Meyers was in a police cruiser and Keleher was driving it to the station, and the second while Meyers was at the police station, according to court documents.

Const. Ryan Young is also charged with two counts of assault — one against Jeffrey Meyers and the other against his brother Trevor Meyers — while they were at the police station.

Neither Jeffrey nor Trevor Meyers was charged with an offence in relation to the arrest.

(23.) I found this disturbing also.

Police surveillance videotape shows Willow Kinloch detained in a padded cell, where police officers are seen holding her down, handcuffing her, tying her feet and leaving her tethered to the cell door, where she stayed for four hours.

Read more: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/01/22/bc-tethering.html#ixzz0t7UihYoq

(24.)

A Lower Mainland Mountie is facing drunk-driving charges after her vehicle was stopped near Langley’s Cascades Casino on Friday night.

Langley RCMP were called to a complaint of a suspected impaired driver as a car pulled away from the casino on July 2.

“The driver was later identified to be an off-duty RCMP police officer driving her personal vehicle,” said RCMP Cpl. Annie Linteau in a release Wednesday.

ing+charges+after+police+pullover+Langley/3246765/story.html#ixzz0t7WSCRLc

(25.) Judge John Combs acquitted Joel Donald Kempthorne, 49, of impaired driving and driving with his blood alcohol level over the legal limit, because the arresting officer’s actions were “excessive” after the officer pulled a gun out an put it on the neck of the accused. What was the name of this so called officer. Maybe its time we all carried guns. At least the public might have a chance.

“The gunpoint arrest was arbitrary and unnecessary and breached Kempthorne’s rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the judge wrote.”

(26).  Vancouver Cops in hot water again after cop pushes disabled woman.

(27).   Surrey RCMP Const. David Clarke, 35, is charged with selling marijuana and possessing stolen marijuana along with stolen ID documents and police property.  I thought that Const. Peter Hodson was the only guy who did that. Well, this just keeps getting more real each time. I wonder  if it is Illegal to steal a illegal substance?? You know,  pot is Illegal, so no one can possess it, but if you steal it, then can you not put that guy in jail for theft?

(28).

(29). 

I find many organized religions are HEAVY on the theory, but, LIGHT on the practice. If God is part of the religion, God can be whatever you choose it to be. It could be just nature itself, easy to see and get in touch with.

A few non Supernatural  defentions of Religion.

1. a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

2. INFORMAL an activity which someone is extremely enthusiastic about and does regularly:

3.any object of conscientious regard and pursuit

4. to resolve to mend one\’s errant ways: The company got religion and stopped making dangerous products.

To be religious, one is not obligated to believe in the supernatural.

Notice From the Property owner

ATTENTION

To all members of the

JEHOVAH’S Witnesses and the MORMONS  Groups

You are not welcome at this address

Please leave immediately

Do not knock on any doors, or make any vocal comments,

and do not leave any literature behind when you leave.

This is a private property, and as such We  have a right to privacy.

If you do not respect our rights,

We will call the police and charge you with Harassment and trespassing

My History

*. After 13 years of being systemically harassed by the Jw’s and the Mormons, I have had enough. They keep coming and coming.

*. I tell them no, but to them no means yes. What part of “NO” do they not understand?

*. If I talk to them, they will not listen. They seem convinced that the world is coming to and end (Armageddon), and the only way to be saved is to join their group and become a JW.

*. If I slam the door shut, they will put me on their ‘call back”  list. In weeks they are back.

*. If I slam the door shut again, I will once more be put back on the ‘call back list’ and they will be back, sometimes in day, but never longer than three months.

*.No end in sight. Just endless consistent harassment, with one single goal, and that is to recruit me as a member of the watchtower society.

*. If I do not answer the door, I get put on the ‘Not Home, call back list’ and they are back in a week.

*. If I am sitting at the window in plain view, (my chair is is plain view of my front door, and I do have a very large picture window, about 6 foot from my front door), and  it is obvious to me that they can see me, I can hear them talking out loud, ‘Oh , I guess he is not home’, Which also means that I get put back onto the ‘Call Back list’.

*. The last straw was when they came around to my back door. This is right by my bedroom window which was open and the blinds were up, and I was buck naked sleeping in what I thought  ‘ was the  Privacy of my own home’.  Wrong! Knock, Knock, Knock. I had to get dressed and open the door, even thou they saw that I was in the room. They could not have missed seeing  me, and why would they bother a naked man, who is lying on his bed, getting some sleep because he works night shift??? It boggles my mind.

*. So I  chase them off and I think that is it, they finally got the message. One week later they are back at my front door. By now I am thinking  of getting a can of spray paint and marking these neighborhood ‘PESTS” with a big red X across the chest. IT is either that or just punch their lights out. That is when I thought of a quieter method. THE SIGN.

Systematic Harassment

Systematic Harassment is how the Watchtower Society try and get new recruits to join their fold.  They believe that the world is going to end soon, and (in their minds) the most important thing for them is to help as many people as they can to get into heaven. They are not Bad people, just a little messed up inside.

Never have I seen a happy JW at my front door.

Right to Privacy

I have a right to my privacy. I do not need to make any excuses why I do not want to talk to J W’s. I have  politely said no, over 100 times.

What part of no do you not get?

Now with my sign, they still come to my door, but they do not knock, they leave. Great, now I can get some sleep? I think I might have to move the sign from the door to the road, in this way they will not even step foot on my property.

In any case, If they ever bother me again I WILL charge them to the full extent of the law. I will photograph their faces, and the car they came from and the law will hunt them down, and do the rest.

It is no longer a case of a few individuals playing a game of knock knock. I was even thinking of starting a class action law suit, (or something along that line),  which would eventually forbid religious door knocking.

Telemarketers  were also at one time a problem, but now that I am on the national do not call list, I rarely get a bothersome phone call. It may end up the same way with the J W’s

Note: the Mormons come around once and a while, but not near as fanatically as the J W’s

The Last Visit

Just recently I was washing my car in the driveway. Two J’s approached me. They did not see my sign because they headed straight for me, ( so I did not call the police. Remember I mentioned putting the sign on the road?) ( But imagine also a road littered with No Trespassing, No J W’s, No this and No that?) . I opened the dialog and the conversation went like this.

Me: ‘Come on guys. The answer is no’

J W’s: ‘So you are not interested?’

Me: ‘How many times have you been to this house?’

J W’s: ‘This is my first time’

Me: ‘How many times has your organization been to this house?

J’s: ‘I haven’t got a clue’

Me: ‘Well that is your problem then. You haven’t got a clue. Go back and find out just how many times that this address has been visited by your organization Then come back. You guys are actually systematical harassing the neighborhood. You haven’t got a clue? So then, If you haven’t got a clue about a simple thing like that, how can we even begin to have an intelligent conversation Go to my front door and read the sign.’

Then they left and read the sign

This guy was just thinking from his own Selfish Point Of View. He saw the visit as an innocent step in his preserving his status as a member of the J’s He really had no idea that he was “NOT the FIRST’ but, in my 13 years or residence here, was in fact closer to the #100 th. To him it was a virgin visit, to me I was like the Whore who had seen many virgins.

Consider the Damage that the Watchtower Society has caused me; enough to write this post. Just one JW at at time.

Toe the line or be Shunned

But the JW leaders use a method of hate to promote love. When a JW does not engage in door knocking, he/she will be shunned by the society. That in turn will be in effect Rejection. Or Hate.

Here is a good site, written by an ex-JW, that explains the process of shunning.

http://spiritualbrother.blogspot.com/2009/04/shunning-study-in-punishment.html

I found this site to be a great source of Ex=Jw’s comments.

http://www.exjehovahswitness.net/

A person who is seeking love or acceptance and has only found this one outlet for acceptance, (IE the watchtower society), will be subject to a power struggle. Either you toe the line, and fulfill the membership requirements, or you are out on the street on your own. If you do as the leaders tell you, you are promised love and acceptance, if you do not, then you will be rejected or (hated).

But love will be reserved for you, when you finally toe the line. In effect there is only one way to love and that is to do as you are told. This idea-logical slavery. Insanity has never been easier to see than by watching the Jw’s in action. So who is going to educate these poor lost souls?

This blog of mine, (hopefully can shed some light to the human madness) but I doubt if it will ever make much of a difference.

The Answer is Still NO

If the Jw’s come to my door 1000 times more, the answer will be no. I will never Join the Jehovah’s Witness Group. I will Never become a Member, Ever.

But why do they come? It is because if they do not, they will be rejected by their own society, and they need this society because they are dependent upon other human beings, and a group, to feel acceptance and love.

To be rejected at the door to door level is not that important. To be rejected at the group level is more severe. The Herd instinct, is , that people need people. . Power and security lies in numbers. To be cast out of the herd would mean certain death. And many suicides have had their origin with the J W’s.

J W’s reject the very people who depend upon them.

A Poll

I believe that a Private Residence is a sanctuary. There are no business hours that can be placed upon a persons privacy. Some of us have to work, while others need to sleep. The 9-5 business model does not work anymore.

The Jw’s, in particular do not respect our privacy. They feel that they can bother us as much as they want, during regular business hours. The problem is that there are no such hours.

This Post has received more responses  in a shorter time, than all my other posts combined. So I have decided to make a poll.

Poll Question:

Do you support a Law or other measures, that would restrict Organizations such as the…Watchtower Corporation …From systematically harassing private Homes? 

The lyrics come from the bible passages of Ecclesiastes 3

I am by no means a hard core Bible Thumper nor am I a Religious Zealot nor am I an rebel without a cause. But the early 60′s did rock my world, and I like to think that at least some of what I am today had its roots in the bible, and songs like this.

Here is the Bible text that that the lyrics came form.

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.

15 Whatever is has already been,
and what will be has been before;
and God will call the past to account. [a]

16 And I saw something else under the sun:
In the place of judgment—wickedness was there,
in the place of justice—wickedness was there.

17 I thought in my heart,
“God will bring to judgment
both the righteous and the wicked,
for there will be a time for every activity,
a time for every deed.”

18 I also thought, “As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19 Man’s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath [b]; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal [c] goes down into the earth?”

22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

Describe the taste of chicken.  Those who have eaten chicken know for certain what it tastes like, and, given a taste test between chicken and a banana, would most likely be able to tell the difference between the two.

But to define the taste of chicken by saying that chicken does not taste like a banana, does not describe what it actually tastes like, you are only saying what it does not taste like.  The best way to find out for yourself what chicken tastes like is to go and eat some.

But what about god? Can anyone really describe with accuracy the concept of god?  To those who claim to know god, the explanations may seem simple to understand, especially to others who have had the same experience. But what of those who have no concept at all of god, for e.g. the atheist?

With the atheist,  it may be impossible  to get them to understand a concept of god. It might be easier to describe taste of sound. The concept of god is just too abstract for some people, to make any sense.  Some concepts are impossible to grasp, but some others are a little more palatable, (so to speak)

My Favorite Definitions of God:

1> God is absolute Reality.

Reality, being the sum total of all its parts, Including all and excluding none.
Then realize that human beings can only comprehend a small portion of that reality, and that different people are tuned into different parts of this reality. Example, a blind man will comprehend light differently than someone with good eyesight.
Then I recognize that ‘thought’ is also a part of reality, and that God, need exist no where else but in ones own thoughts, or mind. (that god does exist in the hearts and minds of people, but is not limited to that space alone.)

(Now is God absolute Reality? I do not know for certain, and in the absence of absolute certainty, I am forced to rely on faith. I do tend to ‘Favor’ that idea, but will give way to a better idea if it should come my way.)

2>  God is energy, constantly dissolving and reforming. This energy can not be created nor can it be destroyed. It exists only to express itself in new forms.

(Now since energy and matter are interchangeable , they are actually different forms of the same thing, I like this idea too. But is god really energy that has condensed into matter and matter than has dissolved back into energy? I do not know for sure either.)

3> God is a living being that all things are a part of.

(I like this too.  Its like the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone, and the thigh bone is connected to the foot bone etc. Since I am a living being,  I am part of the earth because I need food and water, The food needs the sun to grow, and gravity to keep the water flowing, the sun needs the rest of the solar system to keep in its proper orbit.  So I can see how I am a part of it all.  Just hold your breath for 5 minutes, you will soon see that you cannot survive for long without air, and air comes from plants. You get the picture?)

4>God was  an alien species, who were on the way to earth to colonize it. Human beings were  self replicating robots, designed by the aliens,  who were sent to earth in advance., with a mission  to survey the earth and then prepare things for the landing.

The humans sent visual, auditory and other information back to the mother ship with telepathy. Telepathy was  to the aliens what radio is today. The humans were controlled by the aliens also by telepathy. They were directed to different parts of the globe to explore.

However, the mother ship ran into an asteroid and was destroyed. The telepathy link was broken and the humans were left without direction. The humans, however,  were programed to survive,  and since they no longer had  the direction of the alien god species they developed their own self consciousness.

The telepathy mechanism still functions today, and this is why we have people looking up to the sky in search of god. They are waiting for instructions from the mother ship.

( I like this one. It inspires my imagination. Makes me wonder what these gods looked like. But I tend to put less favor on this definition of god. Possible, yes, but likely, no.)

5> I like this too. Neat idea>

Pantheism

Pantheism is a metaphysical and religious position. Broadly defined it is the view that (1) “God is everything and everything is God … the world is either identical with God or in some way a self-expression of his nature” (Owen 1971: 74). Similarly, it is the view that (2) everything that exists constitutes a “unity” and this all-inclusive unity is in some sense divine (MacIntyre 1967: 34). A slightly more specific definition is given by Owen (1971: 65) who says (3) “‘Pantheism’ … signifies the belief that every existing entity is, only one Being; and that all other forms of reality are either modes (or appearances) of it or identical with it.” Even with these definitions there is dispute as to just how pantheism is to be understood and who is and is not a pantheist. Aside from Spinoza, other possible pantheists include some of the Presocratics; Plato; Lao Tzu; Plotinus; Schelling; Hegel; Bruno, Eriugena and Tillich. Possible pantheists among literary figures include Emerson, Walt Whitman, D.H. Lawrence, and Robinson Jeffers. Beethoven (Crabbe 1982) and Martha Graham (Kisselgoff 1987) have also been thought to be pantheistic in some of their work — if not pantheists.

God Is Consciousness

What if god were conscious life itself. It takes awareness to know reality exists at all. A rock can not know it  exists, or can it? Life begets new life. Consciousness begets new consciousness. If god were alive, then you would know god by becoming aware of life itself.
