Leonard Cohen Karma and Kijiji

Leonard Cohen’s financial misfortune changed his Karma. Can it change ours?

By 2006, Leonard Cohen’s lifetime financial assets had been devastated by his close friend and business advisor.

Leonard Cohen’s karma has changed since then, and he is spreading joy and humility to his audiences.

That spirit travels ahead of him, with him and after him.  Leonard Cohen became part of my karma and I owe it all to Kijiji.

But the memories are strong. Share your remembrance of Levon if you like.  Continue reading →

Witnesses are fixin’ for us to die

Jehovah’s Witnesses still calling on God to smite the rest of us 150 years later

Codey Bramley Witnesses are fixin for us to die photo

Ready to drive your call - 6 months of bible study and Codey Bramley is A NEW MAN: one of 28 people to be baptized at the 3-day Jehovah's Witness conference in New Zealand

Unlike the Catholic Church which has amassed gold, paintings and buildings in the current world, Witnesses are hoping we all die soon. They want to take our SUV’s and houses.

Good luck Codey with your new life that took only six months of bible study and a dunking.

You and 7 million Jehovah’s Witnesses are in line to collect the earthly goods of all 7 billion members of the human race alive today.

Bob Dylan Saved, but not yet

I’ve heard it “all before and I know the score.”

The world is not ending nor will some religious people get raptured to Heaven.

There is a lot of work to do, here there and everywhere.
