  Favourite foreign languages?

  by greendawn in

  what foreign language or languages do you enjoy most listening to, though you may not be able to understand the words?

  i find several foreign languages pleasant to listen to, french with its refinement, italian with its sing song musical quality, and german with its coarse but resolute intonation.

  i also like the sound of russian and castillian spanish.

  Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, and Sanskrit - though that's more music/chanting. French is nice too.

  You're not responsible for other people's reaction to the post, Nvrgnbk. If we're going to blame each other for everything that could be a sensitive sore spot because some other influence like JW parents or something, then we're blaming the wrong person.

  Tell that to a 6 year old, dumbfuck.

  I don't think any 6 year olds would be reading it.

  Did the time come when it became unbearable to walk in the Kingdom Hall?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  i didn't attend any meetings in the month of august.

  i worked too many hours and i just don't care any longer.

  just the thought of driving 45 minutes,greeting brothers and sisters who don't really care about each other,singing the dreadful songs,listening to the boring talk(which are repeats of a repeat),going over the slanted watchtower study and then driving another 45 minutes home.. how did you feel when you knew that it was becoming unbearable to attend another meeting?.

  (thinks: CBS ..? Network station? oh bible study..)

  Enrich your inner life friend, even if you can't be reading some material you can think about it and reflect. When you've strengthened yourself from within, you may just have a positive effect on the family.

  I was going to post this in a new thread, but since that doesn't seem to be working I guess this is as good a place as any.

  You can look at how people deal with stuff in three ways: Ignoring it, working around it, or going into it. Ignoring it is pretty simple, it's different in working around it in that you are distancing yourself, just walking away from it all. Obviously, nothing gets addressed or worked out.

  When you work around it, you know it's there and take the thing into consideration - that's basically what faders are doing when they have relatives close by. But again, the whole thing is there in tact so it doesn't really get addressed then either.

  If you go into it, then you are really looking at how it all works, what makes it tick, and that's when real change can happen. More often than not it's probably a combination, like someone can go into it to some degree but really do a lot of working around so they can preserve some aspect of their life. If you really go into it, there may be consequences in terms of things falling apart - but it is thoroughly addressed, inside and out. Of course you can just look into it without doing anything, but we tend to want to do both. Besides, we may not see some things until we take action sometimes. Anyway, hope this is helpful.

  just felt like sharing this with you all.

  i was thinking about what started my big doubts with the wt doctrine.

  i remember often questioining certain things but the biggest doubt was when i started some research in the wt literature about a subject i knew a lot about.

  You realized they have no brain, I realized they have no heart. What's left?
