What is Zen
by Enigma One inafter dumping the dub's i was against all religion of any kind.
slowly but surely i started to embrace a belief system that matched my own internal one.
part of my job takes me to asia.

The Grasshopper 'IN' The Shoe Box
by Golf ini came across this story and it had to do with people who yell, scream and bitch about everything in life, and they can't and don't 'do' anything about it.
this fisherman (dave)picked up a newly fisherman (paul)in his community one early morning, and on route to their destination, which was some distance, paul noticed a shoe box on the front seat.
he also heard lots of noises in the shoe box.

My concern is not who's in the shoebox, but who will end up in the pine box first, Golf? In the end no man wins that race or competition. Amen.
Those who wish to change the world
According with their desire
cannot succeed.
The world is shaped by the Way;
It cannot be shaped by the self.
Trying to change it, you damage it;
Trying to possess it, you lose it.
So some will lead, while others follow.
Some will be warm, others cold
Some will be strong, others weak.
Some will get where they are going
While others fall by the side of the road.
So the sage will be neither extravagant nor violent. -

Huge shock!
by Crumpet ini just got a major shock.
i can't believe the new levels of cruelty possible within families who are jws.. a friend on this board who i've known since i was a baby practically has managed to get me a picture of my little sister who i haven't seen for 8 years - the one who i've mentioned my dad said was working on the bethel quick build team.
the one who i've described my fears that she and my younger sister are staying single until armageddon.

I understand what you are saying Pub....I do. But JW's assume that worldly people have no heart, no feelings, no emotions. They are wicked tools. So yeah you plan works...but you need to incorporate some EVIL into the plan as well. Make them understand how much THEY have hurt YOU. You have to cut through the pre-programming. That's all I'm trying to get at. But by being 100% HONEST you can face your maker and say you did the best you could. That's all. No B.S. No games. Just honest emotion. If the JW's can't see that and acknowledge that.....well, they'll have their own maker to face for that.
I dunno. I remember shunning people myself. Saying things like "THEY turned their backs on JoeHoover".....someone needed to shake me like a newborn to wake me up.
It's fu**ing sad either way. I get angry at this stupid cult. So sorry if I'm a bit abrasive at times. -

Did anything violent happen at the KH or Bookstudy when you were a JW?
by booker-t ini will never forget when i was a jw and was attending the bookstudy on a mon night a man broke into the bookstudy which was in the elder's garage and pulled out a gun.
he shot the father of the jw teenage girl he was secretly dating.
apparently the girl's father had forbidden her to date this non-jw man in his 40's.

I think I'm in love with KattieKitten. A smart ass answer at the ready always. Gotta love that. Although, Richie is pretty good too. Well, when he's not out Photoshopping Checks for the District Convention.

Yes, because dishonest communication lies at the heart of every healthy relationship / friendship. NOT.
Not trying to be obstinate, but I'm not one to be politically correct and hand out cyber hugs for behavior I see as unhealthy. That's all.
