Humans have a basic need to "belong" and to be a part of something bigger than themselves alone...

Convention(al) Wisdom
by darkspilver inconventions satisfy a basic human urge: the longing for belonging.. at conventions, people who share similar interests - even obsessions - come together to bond and to be themselves.. the outside world doesn't matter.
in fact, for the weekend duration of most conventions, the outside world doesn't even exist.. the conventioneers have each other and that's all they need.. http://conventionalwisdom.com.
the mermaid convention.

Dec 2016 study edition 'Setting your mind on the spirit.' WTF?
by Esse quam videri inso the study article 'setting your mind on the spirit means life and peace.

Yes, because the very notion of spending time on a boat, "enjoying the wonders of creation" cant possibly bring one closer to "the creator Jehovah" now can it??
What if the sailboat is used to preach to people on islands?
Or what if the sailboat is used to enjoy an afternoon of spiritual refreshment with the friends, after first preaching all morning, and then sitting on the deck studying the latest articles from the Faithful and Discreet Slave?

Did the flood happen?
by BlackWolf inso we were talking about noah for our family worship tonight and it ended with a little debate between me and my parents about how the flood was possible.
you know, where did the water come from, how did all the animals fit, etc.
of course it led nowhere and my parents came up with some strange theories like that there was "an expanse of water in the sky" and that's where all the water came from.

Those formula prayers. I want to scream
by stillin inwhen the co is visiting, i think i hear "thank you , jehovah, for this special week of activity" until i want to vomit.. also "jehovah, please remember those sick and afflicted.
we pray that they can make a recovery and be back with us.".
stale, canned, institutionalized garble.

Yes! Great thread.
The other "prayers" that bug me are those that seem to "teach" Jehovah something by previewing or reviewing the content of the meeting or article...as if he wasn't listening or paying attention!
"dear J, thankyou for the WT that just taught us (list several points)" We can imagine him hearing the prayer and saying "yer, I know! I was listening too you know"

Hey Blackwolf, watch this clip!

Especially at the end, where he uses logical and undeniable facts of comparison...
Humorous and Factual!

A famous and very smart man once said:
"The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" (Albert Einstein)
By that definition then, is the society or are witnesses in general insane? After all, they have repeatedly proclaimed dates, or "time periods" for the end to come - that have always proven to be wrong.
Then, they have denied ever having done so.... yet repeat the very cycle for the next generation (sorry, I mean the same overlapping generation)
