"I'm OK... Your OK" What Books Have You Read, That Have Changed Your Life?

by Was New Boy in

jw

the first book i read (that wasn't a novel or school asigned) that change my life was "i'm ok your ok." i read it when i was back in bethel.. it puts forth the idea that all of us have three major qualities in dealing with life.. the adult personality..... is the concept of reason.

it ask the questions of why, when, who, where, what.. the child personality.....playfullness and emotional and sometimes irrational.. the parent personality....the parent has all the rules/dogma.

this is what is right.... and that is wrong.. it said that the churchs were always "parental.

My list would be, from the order I read first:

-Windows 95 Manual. (Kept me sane in the early teen years. Hobby).

-The Bible (Lead me to atheism).

-The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. (Inspiration and first solid philosophy that I learned).

-The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo. (Inspiration)

-Cosmos by Carl Sagan.

-The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

-The God Virus by Darrel RAy.

-NFPA. (Lead me to my career)

And of course all those textbooks from college. lol

Tell me how this is NOT a scam

by sabastious in

i know a lot of tradesman and they are all witnesses.

that's because when a young witness man is about to enter the working world he thinks not of his future prospects, but of his present circumstance.

he is recommended this approach by his peers, his role models and his god.

there are 2 classes of ex Jehovahs witnesses

by the max in

hi im part of a group of ex jh,s, we meet for drinks and dinner, go to football games.many of the guys do drugs,(i dont, i like sport) , most live very hedonistic lifestyles, lets leave it at that,(im happily married).

my point is, when i left, i was honest, and got df,d.

now im experiencing the same kind of shit that i experieced in the hall, the ex jw,s are just as judgemental, and stupid as when they were at the kingdom hall, for eg you were df,d we were not,it doesnt matter to them, that their doing coke and getting into group sex.

Atlas Shrugged Part 1

by littlerockguy in

went and saw atlas shrugged part 1 at the rave theater here in little rock friday night.

i was surprised it showed here since it had such a limited showing.. anyway i was really surprised at how well it was done on such a limited budget and a very tight and short schedule to have the whole picture done and it really followed the book very well.

i went to the 7:15 showing and the theater was packed but but not sold out.

That's a good question Falcon. I can't think of one, although Graps of Wrath is a good example.

Uhhhh The Bible? lol

Top Mexican drug lord a Jehovah's Witness

by dogon in

has anyone seen this yet or am a i a bit late to the party?

funny how giving money to the borg makes it all ok. they sure are fucking money grubbers at the top.

what a bunch of fucking ass holes the jws are.

Well, when you don't believe something in a wikipedia article you can always go to the references at the end of the page. Most of the time I skip the entire article and go straight to the sources.

In this case it's just two online newspaper articles and they don't provide much information. One of the articles expresses the concern of a Catholic Priest about drug lords using religions to increase their numbers and power using this case for example. But there is no more information than he was just a convert. Pretty weak article.

Streets,

I personally like The Fountainhead better than Atlas Shrugged. At the time I could really identify with the character of Roark. And I also had an intereste in architecture so I think that has affected my bias towards Atlas Shrugged.

Both books are good though.
