if this has already been discussed i apologize.
i'm only here sporadically anymore.
in a recent wt study a photo was featured in the magazine that showed a "brother" ignoring the "worldly" people around him, including one who appeared to represent the group "anonymous".. i have come to learn that nothing can be taken at surface value when it comes to the borg.
The caption of the photo says: "We are not striving to save Satan’s world. We are promoting God’s new world"
They are basically saying: Occupy and Anonymous are trying to save the wrold. Don't bother trying to save the world because it is doomed anyway.
So, the WTS is saying that Anonymous are "the good guys" in the world.
shunning, rejection and discrimination are things that many have experienced for different reasons.. sexual orientationinterracial relationshipsreligious conversion.
these different groups think they are alone, but they are not.
it is time for the people of these different groups to come together and recognize their shared experiences of pain due to rejection and shunning.

Emma S. Phillips and Bridget Gaudette are developing a new book called "Grieving for the Living: Effects of Disownment in Adulthood".
You can listen to a radio interview with Bridget where she discusses her experiences:

"i contend that we are both atheists.
i just believe in one fewer god than you do.
when you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why i dismiss yours.
Tec,
What do you have against Prometheus? He helped humans by giving us fire, agriculture and the knowledge to build houses and other structures. Before Prometheus gave us these things humans were the most miserable of all creatures on the earth.
After Prometheus did these wonderful things for us he was punished by Zeus by being chained and every day an eagle would fly down and eat his liver. Because Prometheus is immortal his liver would grow back every night and then the eagle would come back and eat his liver again. This suffering went on every day and every night for hundreds of years before he was released from the chains.
How could you reject Prometheus after the way he sacrificed himself for you?

By simply professing to be a Christian, you are by definition rejecting the existence of the following gods. You are an atheist against the following 610 gods. Why did you "throw out the baby with the bath water"?
prometheus was punished by zeus after he gave humans fire and taught them the basics of civilization.
some say prometheus was the savior of humanity and raised us above the beasts.. prometheus' punishment for helping humans was to be chained so that an eagle would fly down and eat his liver every day and then every night his liver would grow back.
prometheus is immortal and cannot die, so he suffered like this for hundreds of years before he was released by heracles.. depending on who you talk to prometheus was chained to a mountain or a boulder... and this is the controversy that has many people divided.. i think it is vital that this controversy be resolved so people can properly recognize prometheus' sacrifice..

i figured out why many people become jws or remain in the religion.
they actually believe that they are special!
they look down on everyone else because they alone are god's people.
> Special because they are the target of the worlds attention!
This is always my favorite one. In my opinion the Jehovah's Witness "Education Campaign" has been one of the greatest failures in all of human history.
I challenge you to find any random person on the street who has a reasonably good understanding of the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Last Known WWI Veteran Florence Green Dies at 110
By DANICA KIRKA
LONDON
Florence Green never saw the front line. Her war was spent serving food, not dodging bullets.
But Green, who has died aged 110, was the last known surviving veteran of World War I. She was serving with the Women's Royal Air Force as a waitress at an air base in eastern England when the guns fell silent on Nov. 11, 1918.
It was not until 2010 that she was officially recognized as a veteran after a researcher found her service record in Britain's National Archives.
Green died Saturday at the Briar House Care Home in King's Lynn, eastern England, two weeks before her 111th birthday, the home said.
Retired Air Vice-Marshal Peter Dye, director-general of the RAF Museum, said it was fitting that the last survivor of the first global war was someone who had served on the home front.
"In a way, that the last veteran should be a lady and someone who served on the home front is something that reminds me that warfare is not confined to the trenches," Dye said.
"It reminds us of the Great War, and all warfare since then has been something that involved everyone. It's a collective experience ... Sadly, whether you are in New York, in London, or in Kandahar, warfare touches all of our lives."
She was born Florence Beatrice Patterson in London on Feb. 19, 1901, and joined the newly formed Women's Royal Air Force in September 1918 at the age of 17.
The service trained women to work as mechanics, drivers and in other jobs to free men for front-line duty. Green went to work as a steward in the officers' mess, first at the Narborough airdrome and then at RAF Marham in eastern England, and was serving there when the war ended.
Decades later, Green remembered her wartime service with affection.
"I met dozens of pilots and would go on dates," she said in an interview in 2008. "I had the opportunity to go up in one of the planes but I was scared of flying. I would work every hour God sent. But I had dozens of friends on the base and we had a great deal of fun in our spare time. In many ways, I had the time of my life."
After the war she stayed in the area, raising three children with her husband Bob Green.
Once her service record was rediscovered, the RAF embraced the centenarian veteran, marking her 110th birthday in February 2011 with a cake.
Asked what it was like to be 110, Green said "It's not much different to being 109."
She praised the officers she had served during the war as perfect gentlemen.
"It was very pleasant and they were lovely," she said. "Not a bit of bother. They kept us on our toes and there was no slacking."
A delegation from the air base had been due to visit Green on Feb. 19 to celebrate her 111th birthday.
"When we heard the news there was a palpable silence, because we all hoped she would make it," said Squadron Leader Paula Willmot.
The war's last known combatant, Royal Navy veteran Claude Choules, died in Australia in May.
After his death, Green became the war's last known surviving service member, according to the Order of the First World War, a U.S.-based group that tracks veterans.
Andrew Holmes of the Gerontology Research Group, the researcher who found Green's service record, also said she was the last known survivor of the conflict — and the sixth oldest person in Britain.
Green's husband died in 1970. She is survived by two daughters, a son and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The date of her funeral was not immediately known, but Willmot said air force personnel would attend, and the RAF Association would provide a bugler and a Union Jack to drape on the coffin
"It will be a real send-off for her," Willmot said.
i do, so i was just curious.. i know the org tends to attract/cause/contribute to people having low self-esteem, so i figure a lot of people must have it as bad or worse than me..
I went decades, not years, decades with depression and low self esteem... only I didn't realize it. I grew up feeling like that all the time so to me it was "normal". School councilors would ask me if I had low self esteem and I would always answer "no".
The first problem is for a person to first know what "normal" is before they can know if they are depressed or have low self esteem.
