Hmmm, how to discribe this in a short written post. I didn't mean it from an ego centric point of view....that you didn't "get it" somehow. In your advice you seem to go within oneself to expand outwards to the universe. The universe grows from you outwards. Wherein I believe it should be the other way around. The universe is ever expansive and compacts itself as it draws near to you. You, me, we are insignificant within the universe. I see a danger of being "self-centered" instead of simply being self-aware.
The enlightened possess understanding
So profound they can not be understood.
Because they cannot be understood
I can only describe their appearance:
Cautious as one crossing thin ice.
So with your approach JT...I just see a potential danger....that's all. Am I making any sense at all? LOL I'm on cold / flu meds right now so my brain feels fuzzy as it is....so if it doesn't make sense....just let me know, I'll try to refine my thoughts.

What Did YOU Give Up For The "Truth"???
by minimus indid you forfeit a college education, a great paying job which would've kept you from the meetings, a career, a trade, your loved ones, a vacation, etc.
so that you could be a good little witness?

My body is my temple. And my temple is my core of spirituality. So I try and take good care of my temple.
Good genes, clean living, regular excercise. Does a body good. -

Poppers....my approach and JT's....and well, your's are quite different from one anothers. I only wanted to point that out to Tetra. I see a fundamental difference between our styles. Is either right or wrong? No. It is up to the one seeking enlightenment. But I thought it was important to point it out. That's all.

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.

Gretchen....good point. Sometimes we need to just sit back and reflect on life's challenges. Then it's time for action, so therefore we move. Life is a journey and an adventure, not a competition.

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.
