One overzealous idiot always added: Meditate on spiritual things . . .
I often wondered how to do that "meditation" when your life is crammed full of work/school, five meetings a week and 60 hours per month in the field. (I auxiliary pioneered - any way of getting those hours back?)
Guys, here's the REAL "5 pillars of Witness life"
1) Masturbation
2) Porn
3) Lying about masturbation and porn
4) Pretending happiness
5) NOT THINKING
Have they not pinched this "5 pillars " thing from Islam?
The Five Pillars of Islam
Shahadah (declaration of faith): "I bear witness that there is no god, but God; I bear witness that Muhammad is the prophet of God." By reciting this, one enters Islamic faith.
Salaah (prayer): Muslims are required to pray five times a day, washing themselves before prayer and facing in the direction of Mecca while praying.
Zakat (charity): Muslims are required to give away a percentage of their earnings to those less fortunate, regardless of their religion.
Saum (fasting): Muslims fast for one lunar month each year, a period called Ramadan. During this time, Muslims reflect on their behaviour and strive to purify their thoughts.
Hajj (pilgrimage): If it is financially possible, Muslims are required to travel to Mecca once in their lifetime.

Phaedra8 days agoI was raised with the same "five fingers" as life is to short described.
Phaedra, I would love to read LITS thread and/or comments about this. Can you link us to that thread? I couldn't find it using the Search function. Thanks!

Effexxor could be added to that list, and the JW leadership must love this drug, because it causes sexual dysfunction in most users. My "EX" doctor said that in the medical profession, they call it "Side Effexxor". I didn't think that was very funny, and it's one of the reasons why she is now my EX doctor. *smiles*
** for anyone who is saying to themselves "HOLY S***, is that why I can't <insert word>???"
YES, it is. Check this out on verifiable medical sites, and ask your pharmacist. Depending on the practitioner, your MD may or may not be knowledgeable.
