Is there a Jehovah's Witness gestalt?

by Terry in

there is a german word: gestalt which means that.......... something is more than the sum of its parts.. .

a diamond seems to be an excellent example of this principle, doesn't it?.

carbon (as in: carbon dioxide) is everywhere and it is "cheap".. but, diamonds are prized as very valuable and expensive.. a diamond, however, consists of almost entirely of : carbon.. .

And the longest possible time that we will have to

endure this old system is until we die,

really when they said in the 1918's millions now living will NEVER die?!?

Called Sports Talk Radio about Joe Paterno/Child Abuse Scandal - BUT.......

by flipper in

........... i was refused by the call screener to be allowed to talk on the air about child abuse !!

this happened on sports talk radio 680 am out of san fransisco ( the s.f.

giants / 49ers station ) .

I was thinking about doing the same thing.

Ironically the call screener reaction reveals a problem with such allegations (both PSU and dubs) 1st people dont want to believe that established institutions be they religous or educational can be so corupted. 2nd people are scared of false allegations coming back on them. its the ultimate catch 22.

WHY IT IS WRONG FOR ELDERS, MINISTERIAL SERVANTS AND PIONEERS TO SOCIALIZE WITH THE WEAK ONES!

by AvocadoJake in

there is a sister in our hall who has made it clear why her "jehovah" does not like weak ones.

her husband the po, will refuse to work with those who are not getting ten hours or more a month.

the weak ones "are spiritually dangerous and will bring you down.

Should Joe Paterno resign over the Penn State child sex abuse scandal?

by james_woods in

first, i don't know if we have had a thread on this yet - so if this is a repost, ignore appropriately.. but i am thoroughly disgusted by this developing scandal - an assistant coach at pen state is accused of multiple, repeated, child sexual offenses.

a member of the football staff exewitnesses and incident reported it to paterno (years ago, it is reported) - and paterno reported it to the athletic director.

nothing was done, nothing was reported to the authorities.. finally, the scandal broke over the weekend.. i am deeply dissapointed with paterno - this guy was one of my football heros.

I went to my first Hypnotist show last night. I was amazed at how much it was like JWs

by life is to short in

ok i was a born in and never watched or touched anything to do with hypnotist's as we are told to avoid them at all costs and i always followed all the rules to the letter.. so yesterday we have the county fair going on and they have this hypnotist show so i went to it.

the hypnotist called up about 15 people on stage and tried to put them under.

about five of them he just could not put them under so that left about ten people on stage.. of those ten the hypnotist could do almost anything to them, it looked like it was staged expect one of the young women had been sitting right by me and her friends were right next to me, so it did seem legit.. the hypnotist had them fall asleep and when they were in that state he would tell them that when they woke up they would react to key words he had said to them or when he touched his face a cretin way.. it sort of freaked me out because it was like how i was in the religion.

Is the "Watchtower Study" = Question and answer a form of brainwashing??

by Witness 007 in

on sundays study we were always told to keep answers brief and from the paragraph as some brothers would add "other meterial" to their comments.

the "correct" answer is right there in the paragraph.

read question --------find answer in paragraph------underline/highlight------read related {not] scripture-----raise hand---give answer from paragraph as though it's your own thought.
