  "My way was derived from the way of Jesus and it worked perfectly every time accorfing to thousands of facts and witnesses."

  How about providing some references so people can check on your claims.

  Noise pollution

  have you recently had a moment when it was completely silent and there was no noise whatsoever?.

  as i see it now we as a western society have grown to become more and more noisyer then we have ever been, now that we can coveniently purchase lots of cheap machines ouer lives are becoming more and more filled with a culprit that i call noise.

  noise in itself is often not perceived as such nausiance but often as an affordable companion of leasure and covenience.. the public property that we call air is very often taken for granted and disregarded by ouer fellow people, big citys are already very noisy places but should we really care about noise?.

  Outer noise is certainly an irritant and distraction. The inner noise of the mind is even worse. Beneath that inner noise is a beautiful silence that is always available. It's unfortunate that more people aren't aware of the inner silence that lies at the core of one's being. With more and more people walking around with earbuds in their ears that inner silence is covered up even more. It's rather sad that people look "out there" for solace/entertainment/happiness streaming from their TVs, radios, iPods, and cell phones when all along those things can be found within the silence inside themselves.

  How can someone who doesn't know the language..translate a book?

  by Judas I. in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i see people all the time trying to interpert the scriptures for other people who don't understand it.

  my question is:.

  a simple word like "fire" or "burned" in the bible.

  "I am talking about God's language."

  Huh? Just what language would that be? One of my favorite quotes goes something like this, "God's language is silence, everything else is a poor translation."

  How Do I Get Rid of these Thoughts?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  though i no longer think like a witness i still think "that is what i would think if i was still a witness".. everytime i see a birthday party or christmas on tv i think "ohh, if i was a jw i would think they were pagan, and not really having fun.".

  when i speak to someone at work and they say they got drunk or wasted on the weekend i think "oooh, if i was a jw i would be offended by that, but i don't really care anymore.".

  i would much prefer to be able to take life for what it is, not constantly compare what it was with what it is and what i am thinking it will be.. any suggestions on how to erase the ridiculous notions that were drummed into me from birth?

  My brother and his wife have travelled extensively over the years. She is more enthusiastic about these trips than he, and now he now longer goes. His wife still travels, but now she goes with female friends and her sister. They're both happy. Don't let your husband thwart your desire to travel. Just because he no longer wishes to see Europe shouldn't dissuade you from fulfilling your desire to do so. Just my 2 cents.
