"I'm OK... Your OK" What Books Have You Read, That Have Changed Your Life?
by Was New Boy inthe first book i read (that wasn't a novel or school asigned) that change my life was "i'm ok your ok." i read it when i was back in bethel.. it puts forth the idea that all of us have three major qualities in dealing with life.. the adult personality..... is the concept of reason.
it ask the questions of why, when, who, where, what.. the child personality.....playfullness and emotional and sometimes irrational.. the parent personality....the parent has all the rules/dogma.
this is what is right.... and that is wrong.. it said that the churchs were always "parental.

The Org is totally NOT preparing us for Armageddon. But shouldn't we be grateful for it?!?!
by Pika_Chu inso, yeah, now we know that family worship night is essential to our survival into the new system.
'cause satan apparently didn't give a s**t about attacking jw families until, oh, a couple years ago.
now he suddenly feels like it.

Fear & Loathing is one of my all time favorite influential books, too. Good taste, you have, Low-Key.

Mr. Falcon
the max - cool, sorry I'm alittle slow. I get what you guys are talking about now. It's kinda strange but I've know JWs who were secretly up to no good, but all the time even when they were among other JWs who they were doing naughty things with, they would all sit around and talk about doing things according to Jehovah's righteous standards! It was almost like they were in denial or something.

Homeschooling and JW children
by Pams girl inhow many jw kids are homeschooled where you are?
its not very common here in the borough where i live.
i just found out on the grapevine that a girl i know is taking her kids out of our very good primary school because she feels the other children are having such a bad influence on her kids.

Mr. Falcon
I grew up with quite a few home-schooled JWs (although I myself was not). I did have one interesting observation. When it came to home-schooling, they either followed through and finished their course (strangely some even going to community college later) or they never even bothered to do their schooling and resulted in being barely literate white trash with no skills whatsoever.
The many cases where the kids didn't finish their schooling seemed to me like the kids just didn't want to go to school and the parents were just like "whatever".

Atlas Shrugged Part 1
by littlerockguy inwent and saw atlas shrugged part 1 at the rave theater here in little rock friday night.
i was surprised it showed here since it had such a limited showing.. anyway i was really surprised at how well it was done on such a limited budget and a very tight and short schedule to have the whole picture done and it really followed the book very well.
i went to the 7:15 showing and the theater was packed but but not sold out.

Mr. Falcon
how about Crime & Punishment as the direct opposite of Atlas Shrugged?
Whereas man's indomintable spirit was celebrated by Rand as a force that gives one a purposeful and fulfilling life, Raskolnikov's madness and self-entitlement led to a sort of self-banishment from his own insular humanity in which he created.
What the devil am I talking about?!

Mr. Falcon
while we are on the subject, what book would you guys consider to be the anti-Atlas Shrugged?
I was thinking Grapes of Wrath or On The Road. What do you all think?
