  Latest WT has some Awesome Points for Struggling JWs to Consider

  by Funchback in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is long but i hope it is well worth the read.

  for those of you who are still active as jws (be it due to your own will or because you are trapped), please consider the october 15, 2003 wt entitled, 'how can i make wise decisions?

  consider these points that come straight from the 'faithful & discrete' mouth:

  First, they quote Napoleon Bonaparte: "Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious than to be able to decide." Then, the WT says:

  You may agree on both counts, since people generally treasure being in control of their own lives.

  If the WTS trully believes their OWN words, then there is nothing wrong with taking control of your OWN life. In other words, perhaps now is the time for you to determine WHO is really controlling your life: Is it you? Or, is the the 'faithful and discrete' slave?

  aaannnnnnd....the frosting on this "cake" is that "SELF-control" is a gift of the Holy Spirit....it's an ambiguous statement....could mean having the ability to control one's own self (ie: life) without interference from others.....a gift that the WTS does NOT give to their members.....so....begs the question.....Which spirit is "channeling" through the WTS?

  Corn on the COB

  by Beans in

  1. social
  2. current

  man this stuff is great eh!

  what a great time of year, all the local farms in my area have there corn out and i pick it up on the way home.. today at one of the local vegetable stands i saw a sign that said "please do not husk the corn" i thought this was awesome, i get so bored watching and waiting for people husking the corn.. why not just pick it and when you get home it's more of a surprise!.

  i have found that if at the top of the husk is a clean white it usually a great cob!.

  Andi, first of all, I know from my own experiences that we are somewhat "programmed" by our parents.....BUT....there are other avenues to explore before you "go down that road"....I blew ballistic alla time when I was going thru "mental pause"....and (double jeopardy) I also have hypoglycemia....of course, these, too, BOTH can affect a person's temperament and cause ya to come unglued at the least provocation....if it were me, I'd have a complete....did I say COMPLETE?.... physical checkup to see if anything's out of whack (hormones, blood sugar, etc.), then approach the counseling if ya don't find a way to even out with treatment of any physical ailment....

  Hugs,

  You are ...

  The Cap'n

  Profile: Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.
