When Jehovah's Witnesses do bad - Are criticisms of JW's valid? Part I

by rambaldi in

friends

when we see news reports of jehovahs witnesses who are reported to have done something bad, what do we think?

sometimes people ridicule us for that.

obey and become his special property, disobey and be rejected.

Anyway, that`s all the worth I find in your posts...

Can you control your dreams?

for years and years i have been able to wake up in the middle of a dream, and go back to it right where i left off.

if its a good one, that i didnt want to leave, i think about it, fall back asleep, and im back in!

or, like the other night, i was mad at my bf in my dream.

I hate that sometimes when I'm starting to fall asleep, I feel like I'm falling and then wake up. Anyone get that?

I read once that this is a reflex from the times when our ancestors slept in trees. It was important to avoid falling from them.

I am able to lucid dream, provided I spend some days preparing myself to do it. Anyway, it doesn't mean CONTROL over dreams, because I can't elicit a dream whenever I feel like. What is possible (to me) is to randomly become aware in the middle of dreams, and then have some control over it (like flying or changing the subject of the dream, materializing objects...)

Now that you are out, do you have a WANDERING EYE?

by zagor in

after many years of repression do you now find hard to restrain you natural feelings?

it doesnt have to be wrong as one cousin told me, you admire beauty of the sunset, the song of birds; you appreciate exotic meal and equally you can now more appreciate the natural beauty of opposite sex.

reason why im asking is because today ive met a dub from my former congdubgration who immediately assumed i was "immoral".

i had to come home early from work today because a 17 year old girl came over to me and was all upset she asked if she could come up and visit with my wife and i. she said the brothers are always picking on her and she can not do anything right.

i asked,what have you done she said nothing every time it is some one making things up and she is tired of even trying any longer.

teenagers come from over all the area they they know they can come and talk to us and we will not judge them.

Keep going, Sky!

The best education for me was my vocabulary education. My thinking is limited to my vocabulary and my understanding of my thought language. I can't think of principles and concepts if I don't have the vocabulary to express those principles and concepts. Language and critical thought are my best rewards for my education.

That´s why the Party in 1984 created a new language, in which the vocabulary was progressively diminished... Those in command never want the rank and file to have too many tools for thinking.
