I think real spirituality is not easy, it's a constant struggle with yourself to grow, to be a more noble person, to carry your own burdens. When you realize no one is watching, keeping score, then the real test of who you are begins. Are you willing to keep an eye on yourself, criticize yourself, direct yourself in the right way? If no one is watching, but you, are you easy on yourself or tough? Are you selfish or generous? Self-centered or compassionate? And, as another person said, can you do it all with a sense of humor, lightness, joy? Can you do it without becoming superior and judgemental of others? At least, that's what I think is the path - become like god, even though there isn't a god, develop your higher mind, not your selfish nature. Oh well, I'm just babbling on, but that is what I think spirituality is.
Hortensia I think you've nailed it!
When I finally was able to defrock the Bible, God and Jesus went right out the door too. In my journey to my own spirituality I've concluded that God is within me, we are all gods in our own right, we must be to survive this human ordeal we are going through. God and Satan are concepts to keep us in check with society, we all have a little good and a little evil in us, it's the one we feed that defines who we really are and that is my spiritual journey if it makes any sense at all to anyone else but me, good. LOL

jw Massage therapist
by carla inwhat is the deal with this?
it seems i hear more and more about some jw woman who is a massage therapist.
i can't think of a more unseemly occupation for a jw woman that is legal.

Bare hands, bare skin, no clothes under towel, deep muscle massage, rubbing, pick your adjetive. I personally do not have a problem with them, I am wondering why jw's who change commercials to fast food chains wouldn't have problem with actual physical contact with the opposite sex when, for goodness sakes I have heard that at times even old ladies (say 80) are made to sit in the back seat when getting a ride with a brother so no hanky panky goes on.
I know it does happen. There was a JW guy who decided to go into this line of work, young good looking surfer dude, free spirited kind of guy too. He had a cute wife and two adorable girls and was a devoted JW husband, ministerial servant ect....long story short he was giving more than massages to more than one woman.
Lost, his family and his reputation, oh and his JW standing in the congregation.
Yeah it does happen but then again you can say that it happens regardless of the kind of work you are doing.......although I don't know of too many other kinds of employment where you are so exposed and so up close and personal with your clients. I would think one would have to be a very steadfast person to put themselves in situations like that and keep chaste.

what about NOT making new friends...life as a hermit for most part
by oompa ini actually saved a classified ad from an east coast paper that needed experienced crew on a 48' sailing yacht.
i was at this town for my 10th wedding anniversary and staying at a nice b&b.
this was back in april.

Has anyone here just decided to be ok with giving up on wanting/needing/making new friends to replace ones that now seem alien to us? I am kind of liking the quiet and may be content like this.
Yeah I'm so there and have been for several years now. I have friends but I don't seek them out, maybe acquaintances is more the word and I'm just fine with that. I'm busy, love my life and do what I want unencumbered it's really nice. Hubby and I get along wonderfully and I keep in constant contact with my children, family is all I care to take time for. I feel very content.
I'm sorry you don't get along with your wife/son. I hope you find some joy and passion in your life and maybe if you plan another sailing excursion for a few months knowing you have your families blessings it will fill you up and you'll get back to being that same but better funny guy again.
