did you ever stop to realize that we humans are nothing more than dirt?
we are composed of all the foods we eat and the beverages we drink.
everything that we consume comes from the ground, from crops grown in dirt.
I have a question, and this is not for making fun.
If you put together all the chemical elements that come into the composition of this "dirt" that we are, and, would you have the same result? Clearly there is more to us than our physical components.
does anyone know if these publications are available?
i don't mean "my local kingdom hall", sorry.. - the nations shall know that i am jehovah .
- jehovah's witnesses in the divine purpose .

- The Nations Shall Know that I am Jehovah
- Jehovah's Witnesses in the Divine Purpose
- School and Jehovah's Witnesses
Thanks.

Me, I consist of wonderful flesh and resistant bones. I also have a je-ne-se-quoi about me. And trace elements! Don't forget trace elements! Selenium, I am high in!
I can also be very irritating, but overall people can live with me (except for zealous Jehovah's witnesses who feel I am well below them).
Nothing was different when I felt that I was "dust in the wind", except that I felt miserable.
It is so curious that people don't usually want to think of themselves as "star dust". No one wants to say, for example, "Gee, asteroid 12345HFASJL-34 travelled all the way from the Pleiades, hit the Earth, and its materials broke down into small particles. A bunch of nice plants with wonderful flowers grew on those, and then nice bees came in a sunny morning ("there went the sun") to pollinate. So there were fruits, that a gracious deer ate. A hunter found the deer and killed him to feed his five children. And one of them is me!" Instead, people want to think of themselves as dirt. As if dirt were not a good thing to have. Try "biblical" agriculture on solid rock.
Thank you very much, YKnot, for that link.

I look forward to more of this. My congratulations.
i would appreciate it if anyone could tell me when the magazines (wt and awake!
) were first published in spanish.. thanks..
Thank you very much, Blondie.
i recently began a wonderful relationship with a guy who also happened to be a jw.
i have learned alot about him and how the religion effects his life and now i am interested in learning more about the religion - but from a beginners' point of view.
could anyone give me an idea of the basic beliefs and practices of jws?.
Jack, I'm a worldly like you. Learning what this religion is about can be a huge thing and it can take long months for concepts to really sink. In my opinion, checking this forum and reading the information on JWFacts.org is the best way to learn.
If you want a nutshell: it's a mind control cult that makes many, many people miserable. But if I just give you the words, and you don't find out by yourself, it won't feel to you that you have really learned something.

It's a pity I can't share here. I was very much of a fan of Dr. Who.
my mother was a hippy who kept a pile of erica jong and germaine greer books beside her bed.
(like every other avowed feminist in those days).
needless to say, she didn't feel the need to do the cleaning and we lived in an unkempt home.
I have a few thoughts on this but can't post right now.
