(i love asian films, especially subtitled)
right.... back on topic
you can say what you think, but it would be better if you actually KNEW the person you were judging and assessing.
that way you don't make as much of an ass of yourself.
and since anyone (who is well-adjusted) would be insulted if they were compared to a crazy schizophrenic,or an accident waiting to happen,
you really should aplogize because you could be wrong, even if you believe you're right.
what, in your opinion, is most important thing for a typical jw?
what affects him in his day to day life?
what causes them to make the decisions they do?
looking good
(books, dresses, ties, hair, car, attendence, comments, parts on the school/assemblies)
for all the other JW's.
it's all about appearances.

ahhh, so you know Richie?
ok, i'll ask him to confirm this..
I'll also ask him if he thinks your 'professional' psychological assesment of him is even remotely close to reality.

rosalee,
since you dont know richie
and you dont know danny
and you dont know trevor
and you dont know anyone else here to make any kind of sound judgement
why dont you spare us your prejudice?
ignorance makes even semi-intelligent people look stupid
if you have bothered to read any of his posts, which i doubt you have,
you would read that he is a happy young man.

When the hell did I do so?
I have never backed up Danny, more the opposite. I never once backed up any of his insanr ideas.
I wont even go to his website because his posts are enough to give me high blood pressure and I have the opposite. LBP.
And I sent condolences to trevor because of my misplaced faith in ONE PERSON.
proof that your perception of reality is seriously skewed!

Don't any of you see Richie is screaming for attention... any attention?
Don't any of you see another Spencer or Danny in the making?
No because Richie is a well balanced, intelligent, thoughtful, caring young man who isn't bitter and angry
and
he is not a pranaoid schizophrenic unlike the two people you so wrongly compared him to.
Rosalee, when you stop offending people here and start making comments that actually have a basis in reality,
I will throw you a party.
this version just makes my day... from the movie into the wild about a high school kid who sells/gives everything he has and just leaves materialism behind ..i havent seen the movie but i will..... www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs4krdwtzru.

Love it!
thank you!
sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste.
according to the author of a book i was looking at recently we have at least eight.
those previously listed and these: the ability to sense heat or temperature, the ability to sense pain and awareness of the location of our body parts.
Great thread!
Nothing to add, just wanted to say that it was very interesting reading, thanks all!
i'm not after a discussion on the rights or wrongs on abortion, what i'm asking is whether or not your views have evolved over time.. perhaps leaving the watchtower was enough to allow your true feelings on abortion to find expression.
maybe abortion is one of those subjects where you still find yourself in agreement with your old jw self.
did becoming a mother change your perspective in any way or solidify your views?.
((((((((((((((( nj ))))))))))))))))))))
and a hug for all those other women who did what they felt was the best decision at that time,
because that has to be one of the most difficult choices one ever has to make.
i've struggled with trying to believe in a god since i left the fold.
i've been indoctrinated by dubizm for most of my life and more and more it all seems pretty incredulous.
the latest lady liberty post about adam caused a lightbulb to go off...and i know you'll let me know if i'm wrong in my assessment.. all my life i've heard, "god cannot tell a lie" and "the bible is true.
Even when the Bible is read from different translations, it's still confusing and still full of violence and hatred and wrong scientific teachings.
The observations in it are from humans who lived 4000 years ago. Of course they are not going to know anything remotely correct or advanced scientifically.
(that the moon isn''t a luminary source, just a refractor of sunlight)
it was also put together by a group of men who did so with the motive of keeping control and power over the people.
It is simply a collection of writtings by men.
Yahweh is the being that they imagined to explain the unexplainable and to justify their thirst for blood, revenge,murder and rape.
Whether or not god exists, I cannot say for sure, but one thing I do know, is that god isn't in those pages.
Look at how small we are...we are insigifigant.
You would think that if god really gave a shit, he would of at least attempted to send a book that united mankind, not divided them into chaotic religions hell-bent on killing others simply because they did not follow someone's interpreation of the bible-books.
As far as I'm concerned, religion has only shed blood and caused untold grief and suffering. Religion is the bane of society.
Spirituality does not need a bible or religion. Spirituality can be a belief in a high-power, or it can just mean you appreciate life and nature around you, and you live your life doing the best you know how to your family, friends, neighbours and strangers.
Spirituality should not be dictated by a group of people. It's a deeply personal, individual, state of mind.
