Re: Jehovah's witnesses [Re: LunarEclipse]

I've been making the same point throughout many posts.

Many people think once the rapture hits, it will be for all of eternity. We were in a state of perpetual rapture for all of eternity and removed ourselves from it because it was so much, it wasn't even appreciated any more.


We can achieve periodic states of Nirvana, and Bliss, whatever, to refuel, reconnect and strengthen ourselves, but to stay in them for long periods of time let alone eternity, is yes, too much of a good thing.

When something becomes spoiled, it just rots from there. Some times, I like to think we were like the spoiled Bratz mooching off Creator, sucking off its teets just drooling on cosmic herion, not creating or giving nothing to the cause and IT was like, Damn people, go out and get a job or something, become productive and responcible mature godlets, Get A LIFE of your own already and make something of yourself, show me what you can do and become!

However, I don't think we got the boot, I think those of us here just decided Ya, time to cut the cords and grow up and thats what we are doing.

So those temprorary states are like, going home for Sunday dinner.

They believe that 144,000 go to heaven. The people that will go to heaven are called the annointed and are the only ones that partake during the Memorial (Last Supper thing with wine and bread). And for the rest there's Paradise. In the not so distant future Armagedon will come when God will kill most of the people on the planet. Only His select few will survive along with people He resurects. The people that survive get to live forever on Earth in Paradise.

Quote:
An absolutely critical date for the Jehovah's Witnesses is 1914 AD. It is the date when, according to the Jehovah's Witnesses, the time of the Gentiles ended (Watchtower, 5/1/93, page 11) and "Jesus-the heavenly warrior Michael-became King of God's heavenly Kingdom," (Watchtower 11/1/93, page 23).

""demonstrated by the fact that it is not allowed to celebrate one own's birthday.... ""

sweet, if you forget belief and knowing, and experience the now as a whole, you could technically say you were/is born now, and that the only thing you should celebrate is your birth now, whitc is all the change, so separating "one day" from "other days" making "that one day" special, could have the cute effect of bringing all the other days down a nothc? not raising the one above the others, just lowering the quality of the others? keeping only that one day like all eternity could pass? :P Happiness can set you free
It never bind
Love cannot be measured
It can only see
Time is action
Again and Again
We could se
or let it be I must express the joy I feel
The present change
The instantly
This moment I create
but now is her
Given in birth
I need not crave
I create, happiness is something temporarily,
it always has to be renewed,
So if one need a source,
and the source is life itself,
Well I be damn, I'm happy all the fucking time!

Sorry for this humurous post, but my grandmother used to tell me that if you put wind chimes outside of your door, they will not knock :p Anybody heard of this? LunarEclipse, what do you consider a man? A body with an ego (what about so called buddhas, can they know God?)? I consider a man an ego, and i consider myself to have infinite potential (equal of god). Peace

Beautifully put. I loved all of what you wrote. I hope you hang around and post more here. I will give you your first rating for that. You said something I was going to write about elsewhere and that is, you can only get as far as you reach..... so reach far........and like you said, get off your ass and then , take the steps to get there.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Interesting that your grandmother would tease you with a koan. Was this typical of her behavior to you or in general?


I don't really know if this was typical behavior of her, but she's a solid christian. When i bust out and tell her i'm God, she gets very angry. I'm sorry to bring my bullshit posts to this part of the shroomery :p I feel that i'll have something to offer here some day, possibly just my opinions or ideals, what else do we have?

I don't understand why people get so emotionally involved in things when people disagree with them.  Someone disagreeing with me is an enjoyable experience, I love when someone challenges my beliefs or does not agree with everything I say.  Don't get mad, have a heated debate and learn! :thumbup:

For sure, that's how you actually learn something. Getting mad over somebody elses opinion is being ignorant. Taking in as many aspects of the same idea(s) will get you the closest to the truth.
