  Rudofl Steiner

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  2. entertainment

  rudolf steiner 1861-1925, developed eurythmy a performance art.

  he wrote hundreds of books, a brilliant person in many fields from austria(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/rudolf_steiner).. steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach.

  he based his epistemology on johann wolfgang goethe's world view, in which "thinking… is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear.

  Rudolph Steiner was a 'white supremacist' of the highest order and believed that the German people were superior to other races. Jiddu Krishnamurti was the smartest one (in my opinion) that broke away from the original Theosophical movement and the influence of H.P. Blavatsky and Annie Besant.

  "I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever , by any religion, by any sect........the moment you follow someone, you cease to follow Truth."- Jiddu Krishnamurti

  "Thought is so cunning, so clever, that it distorts everything for its own convenience." - Jiddu Krishnamurti

  How many Jehovah's Witnesses does it take to change a 'new light' bulb?

  It depends on how many on the Governing Body vote for it.

  Did you learn how to debate in school (or elsewhere)?

  last night i was taking another look at the term "dialectics":.

  the art of investigating or discussing the truth of opinions: discussion; debate; logical reasoning; etc.. the dialectical method is, at base, a discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject but wishing to establish the truth through reasoned arguments.. while i intend to do further research on my own, what is your own experience regarding preparation for debate, the do's and don'ts, maintaining your cool, .

  i ask, in part, because i observe that some online debaters present facts and figures and use sound reasoning while maintaining their decorum; many do not.. thank you..

  I took some debating classes in Jr. High School. This course is excellent in learning to hone your skills and teaching yourself to reach logical conclusions. I have it in my personal library and highly recommend it.

  What the 'Hell' does Biblically drunk mean? I bet if every Elder in the world had to blow into one of these on meeting nights or before an Elders meeting, the results would shock the rank and file.

  so the wife was sick and stayed home from the meeting.

  she tuned in through the phone so she could listen.

  she had the phone on speaker and therefore i could overhear what was said.

  The 'brave new world' of "Big Data" is here! Jehovah needs cash and his henchmen, the Governing Body, are now using 'predictive analytics' and 'big data' to follow your every move. They used these tools to determine how, when and where to set up the congregations shuffle and Kingdom Hall selloff. Now they will use these same tools and the corresponding data base to 'dip into your wallet' whenever necessary.

  You may feel that at 35 years old, time is running out for you. Don't give in to that 'siren call' that may be nagging you to get married or find a love relationship to make yourself 'complete'. Educate yourself and learn more about who you are. Venture forth into the world of love and commitment on your terms and not out of need. I highly recommend this book. Good luck.............we all deserve a measure of love and happiness.
