I also just finished reading "the power of now". and 'stillness speaks' ......very interesting reads.
I've ordered "a new earth" and I've signed up for the Oprah thingy.

i'm considering reading this book and was wondering whether anyone from jwd has already read it and would like to share their thoughts on it.
being ever-the-skeptic, i'm intrigued by a philosophy that appears to embrace reality and the here-and-now, but i'm wary of the new-age-y-sounding-ness of it as well.
what do "believers" think of the book?

i have finally got grandma to agree to seeing her grandchild , and hubby does not want it , he thinks that if she cant be bothered to make time for her then i should not chase it up , this is his mother , im not a dub , i can see his point but think it important to try and keep in contact .
any advice?
Does Grandma Dub want to get to know her grandchild?
my parents choose not to get attached...you know, with Armegeoden coming anyday and all. i guess it's less painful this way.

the reason why i ask is this:.
i recently was given a recording of a public talk given by a "representative of the watchtower society".
i want to post some of the highlights on youtube, but first i want to make sure i get this guy's name correct.
do it ..do it...

for me it was the fact that god is allowing all these innocent people to get killed to prove a point ,i mean it was a big bet he had with satan.. i explained it to my wife this way if i had our children killed in the most horriable way just to show they couldn't live without me how does that make me look?.
When I think back when I was a little girl. I could never understand why Eve didn't go running off when a snake started talking to her. Did snakes talk all the time? At the very least, why didn't she yell over at her husband.."OMG....Get over here A, you've got to see this."

i started to put this in the great thread here on weirdos in your hall which i have so enjoyed, but there was a bit more story to it.
there a pitiful little hunchback young man of about 25 that was soooooo introverted it was really sad.
so he calls my house to speak to my elder dad, and i answer the phone.....unfortunately, at 15, i sounded a lot like my dad, and as soon as i said "hello" he blurts out...."brother oompa, i just wanted you to know i have gotten rid of all my pornography, and am going to really try to work in harmony with my prayers to stop masturbating.
I remember in the 70's when my elder dad got a taperecorder that hooked to the phone. Whenever the brothers or sisters called our house, he went to his room and switched on the tapereorder and taped the conversation.
Don't know what he did with the recordings,...probably took them back for the other elders to hear.
Hope no one had any big secrets.

i'm not sure if it was mentiopned.
but i think that we are talking about not just one call from each person, but we are talking about spending a good length of time calling repeatedly.
othrwise it just won't have much of an impact.
Sounds like a great job you have there.
Are you being sarcastic?
It really is a great job. I do other stuff, too. not brain surgery, but enjoyable...and I have a big desk next to a big window, and I can play on the internet.
