it seems like what we give comes from some huge reservoir that is only available under the right circumstances, but anybody who has ever "given" knows that the gift wasn't only from themselves but from that reservoir.
These days, during my fade, I'm looking for ways to "give" to replace my efforts in the field ministry. I really did try to bring something good to people that way...
all things in moderation...including moderation.
greetings fellow music lovers:.
given the numerous "name your favorite tune" threads that are posted here on jwn, it appears that none of us can live without la belle musique.
often my cd player runs through the night.
My wife always turns it off. She is afraid that she might not be getting my full attention. I live an almost musicless life, other than in the car going to work.
I drink Perrier all the time. I put a splash of pomegranite juice in it and THAT'S good for you! Antioxident, doncha know.
i keep hearing this chatter regarding a new rule regarding the holding of your spouse's hand during a congregation prayer, which, i agree, would be ridiculous.
but where did this rumor start, or was it just some free-lancing elder expressing his own opinion, which escalated to this ripple effect that i see here?.
i haven't seen any less holding of hands at the kh i go to....
I looked at the picture in the link that truthseeker had and the one praying is holding his own hands. Who is taking pictures during the prayer? Why is it in black and white? Was the prayer also in French or was the picture actually taken in NYC?
I want to know!

should i forward irregularity of dignified brothers in our region to headquarter if not handled satisfactorily at branch?.
.
the WTS has a mose lenient view than in years past. Brothers who have "other responsibilities" like HLC may not be able to put in the hours, and are certainly not going to be punished or removed. Probably, the best we can do is worry about ourselves.
just when i thought i could be successful in my fade and out of the radar, an elder from my old congregation has started the search and rescue mission on me.
he and his wife came to my parents' home yesterday looking for me.
thank god i wasn't there.
The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also. -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)
Somehow, that seems relevant...
i am glad we went to the meeting this morning.
it was about how jehovah's witnesses have always taught the paradise earth for most of obedient mankind.
it mentioned how early christian leaders such as origen and augustine introduced neo-platonic thought into early christianity and allowed ideas about an immortal soul to crowd out what the bible says about the earth.
I got a little hung up when we got to the part about millions now living never dying. That was said when...? and where are those millions now?
Is that what they call cognitive dissonance?
somebody asked recently.
