Self esteem ....

by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

does it play a role in choosing one's partner or significant other?

.

do you believe that someone with low (or high) self esteem would deliberately choose someone in that very category because it made them feel more comfortable?.

I think it would be tough for polar opposites to maintain a lasting relationship.

True, and we all have had bouts of "the blues" from time to time when we may not be feeling so good about ourselves. I believe that's a normal part of life.

But (for example), someone with chronic low self esteem or someone who always has a poor perception of their own self worth (although it may be a wrong perception) ... would they deliberately hook up with a "basket case" so they won't have to leave their comfort zone?

Well, you can bet they didn't get there from Sister SingleRegPioneer.

Nope, those look like the Presiding Overseer's ...

Horrible Apostates fall into Jehovahs Trap

by Jim Dee in

as you guys are probably aware, the new watchtower for studying has shed new light on the generations issue (ie whoops we got it wrong, we were right before) .

the co's here in aus have been briefed to inform the congregation (either formally or informally) that is is part of the cunning of jehovah .

when jesus parted the non beleiver disciples from the core 12 (or was it 13) he made an outrageous statement and watched the weak walk off - thats exactly what jehovahs organisation has done today .

Circuit Assembly This Weekend

by united states of nothing in

well, i went this weekend and there were a few key points that i thought were pretty interesting.

one thing is that we are not to use the word 'society' any longer.

i don't know if anybody else has heard of this before but i wondered what the reason was behind it.

Also they came out and stated that you cannot have responsibilities and have a Myspace account.

I hope these "responsibilities" include field circus and the theocraptic Misery School too!

I have been hearing rumors that each congregation elder body is supposed to search Myspace for members of the congregation to keep it clean.

Elders assigned to search Myspace? Hmmm .... who's assigned to make sure they don't wander on to non-designated sites on the evil internet?

Do j.w.'s celebrate New Years?

by hubert in

although it may have been, i have never seen this question here.. i've never heard anything about celebrating new years from any of them, but i'm curious if they do or not, and if they send new years cards too?.

if they don't celebrate it, what scriptures would they use to support this?.

Do JWs celebrate New Year's?

Yes they do ... the New Service Year that is.

This momentous occasion occurs every September. Celebrations are marked by an increase in pioneer forms being filled out, new personal literature being obtained, new clothes, new shoes [whilst carefully trying to avoid a showy display of one's means]. Of course one must not forget the new year's resolution to do more in the preaching work [of course].
