The "Woke" Mentality inside the Brethren... Not good.

Good afternoon, I am writing to you from here in Long Island City. Long Island City is a section of Queens which is a borough of New York City. Queen is actually on Long Island the same as Brooklyn. I bet you didn't know that. Anyway this morning I went out with a brother and my wife to the diner before the meeting. And we were addressing our age and where we stand in our organization today. One of the things I talk about was maybe I should return to university just to keep my mind busy, a sense of purpose. But then reality kicks in. I did not do well the last time When the state sent me to college. In fact, I ended up with a Linux certificate and that was because the college was being merciful with me. They have to show the state that their programs work. One thing we did notice; the brothers and sisters inside our area have a tendency to be offended very easily. Not just in our area, I have observed it is becoming a trend. When one makes a factual observation and associate

Death's End by Liu Cixin

Death's End by Liu Cixin My rating: 5 of 5 stars These are my thoughts on the novel Death's End by the Chinese writer Liu Cixin. I have to say, when it comes to hard science fiction this novel is right at the top or very close. It concludes the trilogy of "Remembrance of Earth's Past".

He did finish it, but the conclusion of the plot was just weak. One of the reasons that I came to that conclusion, could be my bias against philosophy and beliefs that I am not very familiar with. The book was written i

Sense of Purpose

Good morning from the wonderful city of Camden New Jersey. It is 9:40 a.m. I took my meeting yesterday from Mexico it was an interesting meeting and I enjoy the Watchtower Study. I haven't seen a Watchtower Study like this in a long time at least for me was relevant. And talking about Myself. Dan Burgess mentioned something that hasn't occurred to me. He made me realize that I have lost my sense of purpose. Since a young child, my focus has always been to accomplish the task given to me or achieve a goal. I'm not going to rant about my upbringing mostly you guys already know it. But it is true, I have no sense of purpose but I do have an acute sense of perceiving what is real (The Arm-chair scientist in me). Because I have no sense of purpose, I consider everything that I have done in the past to be a total loss. It is like inputting data in a template of an Excel sheet. The template only functions if there's data in it. If you erase the final sum or product of th
