  WOULD YOU........................?

  by Terry in

  here is a serious question for you to contemplate and answer.. if, near the natural end of your present life you could receive a drug that induced within your brain a state of mind most closely resembling one long orgasmic "experience" (but, which would prove fatal within 24 hours) would you.........?.

  1.refuse and accept whatever pain or misery naturally happened according to chance.. 2.accept and go out with a cosmic virtual "bang"?.

  of course, tell us why you have chosen the way you have chosen.. part two.

  Terry, I think it is a great hypothetical question - & some people need to lighten up! Going out with an orgasmic bang sounds good to me ...

  The day of death is better than the day of one being born...

  "a good name is better than oil, and the day of death is better than the day of one being born.." .

  i remember that scripture from the book of ecclesiasties (sp?...it's been a long time).

  i attended the funeral of my friend today, and that scripture came to mind.

  I think that it is because it makes you realise how precious life is, and how we are here for such a short time. When you think about that for yourself (rather than for someone else, which is horrible), it can make you question how you are living your life and whether you are getting the most out of it.

  20 years ago..a talk concerning field service..sisters crying..eyes opened

  by confusedjw in

  1. watchtower

  well i can't recall now which public talks it was - one of my first - and it dealt with field service / preaching.

  so i thought i would interview several people in the congregation about service and their thoughts and feelings on the subject, expecting something very different than what i got.

  to my shock (i was an over zealous young buck who thought the sun rose and set on the wt) three sisters burst into tears as they told about their feelings of inadequacy and guilt over field service.

  LOL @ Terry!

  I liked field service, too, because it felt like I was doing something. It's the only thing sisters can do tachieve anything or to get a bit of attention. A friend & I used to go out every Sunday - usually just us, because no one else could be bothered! We thought we were doing the right thing ... I always thought it was pretty unproductive, though. Why doesn't the WTS just put ads on tv?!!

  Weird Logic

  by loosie in

  2. experiences

  let's hear the weirdest comment or suppossed logical thought you've ever heard a witness say.. i'll start: out in service once a sis and her son were in the same car group as i was.

  he was having a nose bleed and told his mom that the blood was running down the back of his throat.

  his mother said " well don't swallow it yo uknow how jehovah feels about blood don't you!".

  Mmmm, I like the one where if anything bad happens, it's Satan trying to disrupt J's organisation. If anything good happens, it's because Jehovah & angels are helping ... does not make sense ...

  Hi, I'm pretty similar to Ig.

  I'm now an agnostic, because I think that that is the only sensible option! We don't know, nobody has ever known, and I should probably accept that humans will not know the 'truth about everything' in my lifetime. I only have one life, & it is my responsibility to make the most of it! That doesn't mean that you have to shut off from all religious/scientific/philosophical talk - just engage in it with a raised eyebrow & a glass of wine!
