Interestingly, Anthony Robbins has recently published updated information and given lectures where he has recanted much of what he used to teach; admitting that much of it was incorrect.

Arthur, i would be interested in knowing where i can find this updated info.

Thanks!

were you forced to join the (misery ) ministry school?

by headmath in

.

maybe you have some fond stories of this.. my story is that i was forced to join when i was about 12. i always got an assignment that dealt with beastilaity in exodus or somethin.

i was forced many times after I vehemently told them i did not want to. ironically the brothers and sisters told me i gave the most interesting talks .... yeah, that''s cause i did not want to bore them with the same wt style.

i was meant to leave as soon as i entered.

Friday District Convention notes: Control, control, control

well, one third of the convention is over, i had no choice but to attend due to my current situation.. the talks were worse than last year, and as usual if you have seen the program you will not find jesus in any of the talk titles - in fact, the only time jesus is mentioned is during a prayer or in connection with the ministry.. when you become aware of how sidelined jesus is, you can't help but notice that jehovah's witnesses are a modern version of the old testament religion - it's all about control, be attentive, obey the "faithful and discreet slave" etc etc, in stark contrast to belief and salvation through jesus.. only the talks with midly interesting material or that had ridiculous phrases used by the speaker are shown here.. friday.

9:50 be attentive to jehovah's promises of deliverance .

would you believe that this 20 minute talk was solely about being attentive to the program?

we need to follow direction, if we were told to use a 1" paint brush, then we need to use the 1"paint brush! So don't ask questions Brothers, just do what you are told!"

Bunch of b.s. When I was in Bethel, the overseers in my department asked us if we had suggestions or advice with regards to procedures.

In the olden days at bethel you were never suppose to suggest anything cause they would say we more than likely have already tried that so don't bother asking. Stupid reasoning. It was later on, with newer overseers that needed to produce #'s that now invited suggestions and advice. I was happy that I was listened to and they changed some procedures in the dept. that I worked in.

Shoot. The apostles asked questions for Godsake!

So many variables at work. I think that personality plays a big role...his personality type (extrovert) make it much easier than for some (introverted or as another books calls them ... HSP's or Highly Sensitve People)

"All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs. So how do we
change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain
to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief
cost you pain in the past, but it's costing you in the present and, ultimately, can
only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure
to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief."
Anthony Robbins

anyone else on here read his books "Awaken the Giant Within" or "Unlimited Power"? Thoughts?
