"The truth will set you free"

I think people would rather live in fantazy than accept truth.

Why?

Because truth is Terrible.

Truth is not Black or White or Grey or Something In-between.

. Truth means its easy to allow others make us be or do things we dont want to be.

Truth is we are not so sure of ourselfs.

Truth is we dont know the darkness from the light.

I think Truth is BALANCE.. That Truth is a contradiction.

I think with Truth there is no Right or Wrong..And that is why Truth is so TERRIBLE and why people would rather live in fantazy and invent there own standards of right and wrong.

What I have written is a lie because I belive I have my standards of right and wrong.(My truth) And these are different from other peoples so therefore my standards are not Truth.

.And this is why Truth is so terrible( Truth is not black or White)

.Truth is Why Organisations like Jehovers Witnesses begin. Because people think they have Truth and other people Buy in-to.

This is why I think Pilots Question to Christ "What is Truth" Was a fair point.

Is there a doctor in the house?

here's another subject i find ironic and interesting.

i know of an elder who is an gynocologist.

and he is in good standing with the organization and a well respected man.. a long time ago, out of curiosity, i asked a co once; if we 'strictly' go by the wt, and if we are looking at this 'objectively', openly and 'technically', and go by what the society says about touching another person in this way, isn't this elder committing pornea every day?

Is there an artist in the house?

Hi PUTERNULT......

Everything you wrote in your post is fine. ...But Iam an artist and own a gallery in Sweden ( I therefore meet many artists) And from my experience there is an image of Masculinity or Femininity that can ...What am I trying to say?

Theres no right or wrong as how an artist protrays the humun body. But when you can draw a beautiful humun form, isnt the next challege to create that beautiful form in another way?

Ie The bogus superficial image of Men and Women as portrayed on the T:V screen has little bearing of reality to the viewer of him or herself. (It may be who we wish to be but it is not us) It therefore makes the man or women of the programme regcognise there so thought imperfections.

Anyway basically I would like to see some of your beautiful figures also changing bed-pans or working in factories making soap or distributing watchtowers...Only because in my opinion it would another dimension to your art.

who was the most admirable but dedicated witness from your congregation?.

i remember an old lady who becme a witness in her 60s.

it was great doing service with her.. she only knew one way to preach and that was to let the householder have it...real fire and brimstone..the householder had no chance to reply...and probobly very little understanding of what she was on about or who she represented.. i admired her because i could see she was shit scared of the service(a real gentle soul).and the above example was the only way she could handle the service.. her family thought she was mad to beome a witness......and she was just a nice person.

Leaving/DF'ed because of homosexuality?

by peace-arms in

how many cases are there of people leaving the jw organization or being df'ed because they decided to be gay?

is it common?

i haven't heard of many cases, but i also haven't researched a whole lot.. .

Hi

Iam not a homosexual....But now I have left the organisation I love the freedom to accept people for WHO they are with out the judgemental attitude.

Iam only slowly learning how arrogent I was and how delicate the humun mind is to accept PROPERGANDA:

That is why I started a thread last week on what Jesus meant by judging.

I think we go through life in a dark room with the blinds closed. Occassionally those blinds are opened and we have the chance to accept new ideas. But we do this when we stop being so righteouse or superior then we allow those blinds to be opened.

I mean everything I belived in all my hopes goals and aspirations were nothing but a pipe dream. But the hardest thing to accept is I judged better people than me as lesser. This is hard to live with.
