it always surprises me just how many long - departed ex's refer to their life in the witnesses as being time spent "in the truth".. imho, every time we use that particular phrase, we are just re-imprinting ourselves with an old belief system that triggers off negative feelings about ourselves?.

when we talk about our past experiences, isn't it better to refer to them simply as being "when i was a jehovah's witness"?.

after all, isn't it an incredibly stupid action to leave "the truth"?.

I call it a cult also. Once I was in chat and a newbie asked me if I was "in the truth"...I said no that "the truth was in me" she liked that.

Do You Love Yourself???

by minimus in

i believe that before you can love another, you must love yourself first.

some seem to loathe themselves.

others seem to adore themselves.

Yes...more and more every day. I am more aware of how "I speak to myself" If I say something to myself that is self defeating , I try to change it to something more positive. I actually enjoy doing things by myself...like go to movies or out to eat...I enjoy my company.. especially when I try to find something funny in different situations...I crack myself up!!!

There is No Conclusion.

by Blueblades in

.

what has concluded that we might conclude in regard to it?

RubyTuesday

I think DJ hit the nail on the head.

An awful lot of life doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe thats what Will meant.

If I focus on that I will go mad

This reminds me of a scripture in the bible (not sure where) It says (to this effect) We should NOT try to figure out everything...that it Will make you crazy.

I think we should just enjoy life and try to make it better for others.

Do you think you will ever experience terrorism yourself?

i bet the people in the twin towers never thought they would be the victims of a terrorist attack.

sometimes the stuff that happens overseas seem so far away.

i look around my community and find it hard to believe that anything is going to happen here.. i live in southern califonia, near san diego, and who knows?

I live about 20 minutes from a major power plant(Diablo Canyon). I was a little worried right after 911. My bosses wife is a nuclear engineer there and she told me that It is probably one of the most safest places to be if something happened. It is extremely well gaurded.Its funny...when you drive out there ..if you look hard enough you see snipers sitting on hills ready to shoot. As for your question...no ..I really don't think I will ever experience terrorism...but who knows?
