pale.emperor, if you want to learn about how to 'apply' existential philosophy to your life in a pragmatic way, than I would highly recommend that you read this book. It is rather long and comprehensive but still easily understood. No need to wade through all the writings of Dostoyevsky, Camus, James, Tillich, Sartre, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard or Kafka and distill their thoughts into a single 'philosophy of life'. This book will help you put a mirror up to you psyche and then you will be able to determine how you want to answer the question of your life.

Old Navy..........Although he is not 'officially' as Existentialist, Viktor Frankl's LOGOTHERAPY has a strong foundation in existential theory. To quote him on love: "The truth-that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love."

Is The Person Who Helped You “Get Into The Truth” Still Around?

by minimus in

i helped, unfortunately, many people to become baptized jws.

recently, over the last few years, i saw many of my students who were still “ in the truth “ lament that i was no longer associating or active in the faith.. i do feel bad that i did such a good job that most of them still are in the cult.. are your teachers still around or did they wise up and leave the lord’s organization?

2018 BRANCH ORGANIZATION Manuel Says The members of the Governing Body do not regard themselves as the leaders of Jehovah's people.

by Fabian in

thanks to atlantis, this statement is mentioned on chapter 1 paragraph 1 in the middle.

but i like how the statement says members but the sentence right before has the governing body dudes in a collective whole like voltron here is the paragraph in whole.

1. governing body: the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is made up of brothers who are anointed servants of jehovah god.

Jehovah's Witnesses 'governors' have been playing the game of 'follow the non-leader' with their congregants since the time of Pastor Russell. Still marching in circles, still getting nowhere.

Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

by dubstepped in

jw
friends

so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

Favourite New Film

by jhine in

l recently went to watch green book , which l thought was excellent , it had everything , it took me though the whole range of emotions , from anger to joy , laughing then wanting to cry .

the quiet dignity of dr shirley mixed with volatile nature of tony lipp and seeing their emerging friendship was wonderful .

what really shook me was that these attitudes existed in my lifetime , not that long ago .

This is what a 'collage' of Black men looks like. Actually, I enjoyed GREEN BOOK immensely.
