Les canadiens ont donné 434 M$ en dons depuis 5 ans pour faire avancer les religions américaines telles que les Témoins de Jéhovah, Pentecôtistes, Adventistes, Baptistes et autres et ont demandé à leur bon gouvernement canadien un crédit d’impôt pour ces dons.

Canadian exJWs, your voice matters!

Norway stood up to Watchtower over shunning and coercion.
Canada can too — if enough people know.

Good morning Coca! 🌞 I open BS every morning to enjoy the only post that helps me start the day with a smile!

I’m not sure I understand. It suggests to create a separate Bluesky account for pictures or something like that.

Thanks Mary!

Words matter. Don’t let them be distorted, overused, or dressed up to appear virtuous. Stay true to their authentic meaning instead of bending them to fit a purpose.

Absolutely, you’re touching on something so important here. Guiding someone through practices that impact the mind carries a huge responsibility, which demands high ethical standards—something so-called enlightened leaders often dangerously lack.

Fascinating. I had never considered that meditation could have such effects. The mind is such a complex and unpredictable thing; it can often take us in directions we don’t anticipate, even when our intentions are positive.

When you read something and feel seen

Why do we seek control over others? Often, it stems from fear—fear of uncertainty or vulnerability. Sometimes, it’s about asserting power and importance. Other times, it’s a defense mechanism, a way to mask our own insecurities. But true strength lies in self-regulation, not in dominating others.

Perhaps it is easier to admire passion and complexity from a distance—through the lens of a sonnet or a novel—than to accept them in our neighbors or ourselves.

Here in Canada, we heard on the news that Russia launched more than 70 missiles and more than 100 explosive drones on Ukraine targeting the energy system, leaving one person dead and left, hundreds of thousands of homes without electricity or heating on Christmas Day. No words.

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.

-- Albert Einstein

No, that sense of wonder fades as we become more disillusioned with time. Instead, we often find deeper satisfaction in tangible things, like the love and connection of family.

All thought, emotion, action, every word you speak
Come from Love or Fear.
All things flow from there.
So consider where your center sits while thinking, feeling, acting, speaking and self-talking.
Just pause and center yourself in love.
But take no Crap!

Even in rejecting one form of belief, many of us still crave something magical, whether it’s the mystery of the universe, the poetry of existence, or the beauty of simply being. Perhaps it’s not about believing in magic, but about honoring the sense of wonder that makes us human.

Humans have an innate tendency to seek the magical, the extraordinary, or the transcendent—whether through religion, myth, art, or science. It’s part of our wiring to wonder about the unknown and to find meaning beyond the mundane.

Wow, I’m amazed to see how my beliefs align with this philosophy—it’s like finding a hidden map to my thoughts. There’s something beautiful about leaning into these ideas naturally, without rigidly adopting them or doing it for the sake of others.
