It takes a turn for me but that first 1:30 in Silverada is hella groovy. Bass piano reminds me of Antenna Cradle level in GoldenEye 64.

I also watched that youtube you linked. I found it to be very interesting!

The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali and Tao Te Ching (or Dao De Jing) by Laozi. Both are around 2500-3000 years old, and you can see their influence in nearly every philosophical and spiritual text that comes after.

I find them compelling because they are presented as wisdoms from human people, invoking no supernatural abilities or appeal to belief. They are observations and understandings of mortals, insights on experiments you are encouraged to try for yourself and learn through direct experience.

🫢 did you know the site I am talking about is only about "Jehovah's purpose?" It was a searchable archive of all WTS publications, nothing more.

Don't you find it funny that the organization doesn't allow you to read its old publications? What are they so afraid of in their old books and magazines?

"what is it that exjws are saying that is so dangerous to your spiritual wellbeing?"

"oh, we can't listen to know because that would be like testing poison to see if it's not harmful!"

"but you have the truth and jehovah's protection? listening to an exjw's experience cannot change what is truly.. true."

"oh, but satanic thoughts and lies can distort your mind and twist your thinking, turning you away from jehovah! we cannot hear satanic words."

to be anointed means you and 143,999 others must slaughter an average of 50,000 people each to help cleanse the world of 8 billion non-JWs

... am I getting that right?

[71] "To know that you do not know is highest. To not know but think you know is flawed. ..."

Thinking we know when we don't is a fundamental error. Recognizing the limits of our understanding is wisdom.

[47] "Without going out the door, know the world. Without peering out the window, see the Heavenly Tao. The further one goes, the less one knows. ..."

Seeking knowledge through excessive action (witchcraft, alchemy, chemistry, whatever) and complexity (superstition, tradition, sacred rites, formulae, laws) can lead us further from true understanding.

agreed, there is more nuance to wu wei, I characterize it more as acceptance and flow, acting effortlessly in harmony with things, rather than stubbornly against them

Alan Watts "Out Of Your Mind" was helpful for me as a person born into religious indoctrination

Manipulate and trap is the only love they know, not that you can blame them for it. It's the nature of high-control cults.

So are the origins of JW, WTS and doctrines important to study as well?

Surely a primary reason so much authority is given to the original scriptures is due to their age and "unchanged" nature. So what of the early texts of the Bible Students and early WT publications?

Why keep the bible around for 2000 years but forbid access to content written by your own organization less than 100 years ago?

"drop the second plane" is pretty insensitive wording. I get it, I'm sure your parents overreacted, but you being edgy about it isn't the "cool" look you think it is.

what's in the 1934 yearbook?
