  "Nourishment For The Spirit" #2

  max, excuse the plagiarism of your thread heading.

  royalties on the way!.

  a few weeks ago maximus began a thread which he named nourishment for the spirit which resulted in a most interesting discussion of books that we had read and that meant much to us as individuals, some acknowledging that the books had added much to their lives.. now i would like to ask a question.. have any of you read or viewed a piece of art, read a poem, or heard a piece of music that actually changed an ethic in your life or adjusted a previously held viewpoint?

  Kent, Common Objectives & William Barclay

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was always impressed with the way that william barclay could encapsulate large and very complex issues into, not just a simple form ( are you listening duns!

  ) but with a sincere purity attached.

  i was honored to meet him when i was very young man in my university years and though a convinced atheist at the time who actually shoved socialist newspapers at people in my local high street, i could not ignore the genuine tranquillity that accompanied this wonderful personality.

  hello folks,.

  there is much work taking place behind the scenes, away from this board, that relate to a number of issues that are presently of acute concern to the wts.

  some of these concerns are obvious, and are presently being dissected ad nauseum on this board this morning.

  The Long Goodbye......

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after a transatlantic discussion with my wife we have both reached the conclusion that we will not be posting to this board again.

  though we see the board as serving a useful purpose for some, it does not at present suit the path that we have chosen to walk to extract ourselves from the wts.. this board is in an invaluable place for those of you who have recently left the wts and need a place to stretch your wings and share you hurt and pain.

  but once we learn to fly, it seems important that we should leave the nest as quickly as possible, lest we become caught in a vacuum between the wts and real life.

  i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.

  i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.

  i have served in a number of countries in europe as a pioneer and elder over the past three decades.
