  2. friends

  i was just doing a bit of research on theosophy, which was founded by a woman named helena petrovna blavastsky (183191).

  the founding of the theosophical society took place in 1875. this movement had three main objectives.

  the first focused on the formation of a universal brotherhood without regard to race, religion, sex, caste,ect.

  I can't get past the bitterness.....

  by desib77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know why but lately i have been so intolerant of people.

  i find myself bitter when people spew nonsense as if it is fact (political, religious, etc........).

  i went on a girl's weekend with a good friend of mine (non jw) and everytime she started talking about how blessed she is and how god put stuff on her heart i felt ill. i feel ill just telling you about it.. so, am i the only one feeling bitter these days??

  "Pay Attention to Yourselves and to all the Flock"

  by Cthulhu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been following a number of threads here periodically and have decided to join so as to contribute.

  i was wondering if any of you would have any idea as to the value of the book mentioned in the title of this thread "pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock," the elusive elders manual.

  you see, my grandfather died recently and, unbeknownst to "the others" i managed to obtain said book before anyone else could.
