I lived in Hong Kong briefly, 30 yrs ago. The kingdom hall was in the red light district in a two or three story building. I would pull up on my Triumph and hopeful hookers would approach, only to see the tie etc and realise I was heading upstairs. Now I look back, I should have hung out with those women down stairs. All were very hot and at least they plied an honest trade, not like the kh!

WItnessing work in Hong Kong
by Listener ini was in hong kong recently, which is a lovely country but very much a big city where people live differently because of it.
on one of our days we were walking to the ferry through a covered walkway and there were heaps of people handing out all sorts of leaflets to passerbys, you couldn't walk 10 steps without someone trying to give you their leaflet.
i was surprised when we came across about half a dozen witnesses trying to hand out magazines.

I have eaten it in Thailand. Once in the north (pig's organs and blood) rather tasty if you didn't think too much and once in the south in a soup. This was clotted balls. Not bad. Also on the menu was monkey and an endangered species, barking deer. The heading on the menu was "fruits of the forest".....

Repressed Feelings and Unconsciousness based on Analytical Psychology
by TastingFreedom inwhen it comes to reaching out to our suppressed emotions, feelings and desires from growing up as jehovah witnesses, the information below helps to understand about personal unconsciousness.
in order to deal with confronting the repressed feelings and emotions that we may not realize exist because our 'ego' (consciousness) neglects our 'shadow' (unconsciousness).
sometimes we do things without realizing why, well this helps to understand what happens to our mind.

Me too Satanus.
When Jung's teachings came my way (by synchronicity) I felt I had met a long lost brother, or maybe father. All I read answered so many questions and relieved the tension of " have I made the correct decisions in my life?" My view of death is slowly changing to acceptance and possibly a little curiosity...
When my grandchildren were born, I realised why I needed to die. To give them the freedom and space to grow tobe complete individuals.
As to the original point of the post, I agree that in my case, I kept so much pushed deep under as a jw. It caused illness and emotional distress. Once I freed myself, I was truly born again, to be the complete person, faults and all. What a revelation!

Your worst field service experience.
by littlebird inmy worst field service experience was this.. i didn't have a car at the time and so a pioneer sister was picking me up of service every couple of days.
she was my partner and i got a door where the woman was clearly not interested.
as i am stepping away the pioneer sister starts in with all the objection stoppers.

Speaking of dog stories. I had a friend who went to this door. A woman answered and a large german shephard came from behind her. She made no effort to contain it. It lept at my mate. Sadly for her and the dog, he was an ex professional boxer and life long street fighter. He gave it a killer left hook and the dog was out cold. Now that's a conversation stopper!

Yeah, I was there and yeah, I remember the bomb scare. Geez it's too long ago to remember exactly but I was baptised in 76, so it was after then, prob 78. I can remember that they got city brothers to inform their country cousins not to stare at the prostitutes in Kings Cross!!

Why Is There NOTHING Written In The Bible About Jesus' Early Years?
by minimus inwhy doesn't the nt have anything about jesus on record prior to his baptism?
after all, he was a perfect boy.
you would think that little jesus would've been talked about by everyone in the town,.

I like the Gnostic theory that the wise men at Jesus birth would have watched over Jesus (Who paid for their exile in Egypt? Why just accept him at birth but never show interest again?) and waited until he was of age to be taken to India and the far east to learn from the great mystics. They saw him as the Messiah, so of course he needed to be taught as much ancient wisdom as possible to be a fit spiritual leader.

Has anyone ever heard this theory about God and Satan?
by serenitynow! inthat satan is the evil alter ego of god?
that god has some sort of split personality.
that would explain the mass killings of people while still saying that he is a god of love.

Well, I guess they both need each other. Imagine god without the issue of rebellion to "teach" humankind. How could god have displayed his perverse sense of rightness by murdering babies etc in a "perfect"world?
Satan without god would be one in a multitude of faceless soulless spirit creatures performing mindless tasks for infinity.
Sounds like a kingdom hall

Pad Thai needs garlic, chile, ketchap manis (sweet soy sauce) a little fish sauce (can be deleted) and the final secret is lime juice. Don't forget roasted crushed peanuts. Damn I love Bangkok!

I like facebook, as it is a simple way to communicate with family and friends. You must be careful to edit your profile so information doesn't get into the open. It's a social place as well, when someone puts a link to say, your favourite band is playing locally this Saturday, everyone of your friends get to see this info. I check it briefly through the day. You also get alerts in your email if you prefer, when someone responds to your comments.

An earlier poster equated the Allied war effort with the Jews as far as killing innocents. Only one MINOR difference. god told the jews directly to do the killing, this god of love. That is what the thread is about.
Gang members have a clearer sense of love and honour, than the god of the bible.
