  i'm not into politics and don't put much stock in the government having anything to do with my happiness, but i decided it would be a new experience and why not.. i have to admit it felt good.

  seeing democracy in action was great and as small as my 1 little vote is, it feels empowering to have a say..

  I'm So Happy!! A NEVER Give Up Hope Story

  by onesong in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  like most everyone here, i had a painful yet liberating exiting of the org.. one of the most difficult parts was saying goodbye to a dear friend.

  he couldn't believe that i no longer was a "believer", and during our last conversation 3 years ago, he ran out in tears extremely upset.

  i told him that i would always love him and thought there was a good chance that that was the last time i'd ever talk to him.. however last week......he called me!!!!.

  i try to be open minded and not judge anything but when i see these movie commercials----.

  i think it was saw iii or something, all this blood, gore, shrieking and grotesque violence, all i can do is ask with a sense of awe --why?

  why would someone want to watch that?.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he's a good friend of mine who will have plenty to add here.

  (he's written volumes on the dubs) having recently attained some much needed freedom he was able to join the forum.. he may be a little hesitant to come forth at first, but with a little coaxing...he's got a good "coming out of the org.

  " story and lots of insight!.

  JESUS AND ZEN

  by onesong in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in his book " the zen teachings of jesus",michael leong presents a very different way of understanding some of the things jesus taught--thru the eyes of eastern thought.. here's a couple of examples.

  when jesus is questioned as to the greatest commandment and his reply "you must love god with your whole heart, mind and strength.
