  Science my son and I.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a recent o.p origins of the universe bought home to me with ovbious clarity that i have no scientific background.

  this realization was rather embarrassing for myself to admit, particularly as my child of 11 has began asking some rather intersting questions on scientific matters.

  anyway i have subscribed to " scientific america" because i find it a great magazine for those with no scientific background.

  Thanks Cofty & LoveUnHateExams. I took a peak at "khan academy" and will research it further.

  Keinlezard, Thanks for engaging and your opinions. Communication is never easy, so I appreciate your attempts at English, particularly as my compulsory French at school showed me how hard it is too speak and write in another language.

  My son is in charge of his education and I am their to support him, the "watchtower" is not. My son will have a better education than the " better than university" education I was told I was receiving growing up reading the awake magazine.

Anyway I have subscribed to " scientific America" because I find it a great magazine for those with no scientific background. The readership seems aimed at general readers, and therefore the articles I hope will encourage my son and I to create a shared interest in his ovbious desire to learn about science.

  If you are familiar with " Scientific America" your comments on the magazine would be appreciated.

  Jeannibeanzz, " interesting rebel:, your Facebook comment made me think....

  there are too many rebels on the forum, so please don't associate my inferior comments with those of " rebelfighter" However for really meaningful and worthwhile " rebel" comments I recommend a poster called " rebel 8"

  "You Can Do Just Enough Ministry To Dislike It"

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when you were "in" did you ever actually enjoy the ministry?

  and i made no secret about it.

  instead i would joke about me feather knocking, and made sure i had my bible in hand so as they come to the door they know what im about so they can shut me down before i even start.. i always wondered how or why there were people who enjoyed it.

  I hated door knocking because I am very shy, but I made some great friends from it. The trick was to knock on the door and find some great people who invited you in and who you found a connection with. So if I knocked on a door it was always the person who opened the door and not preaching the magazine in my hand that was important to me. Why? Because I learnt that the person who opened the door was always more interested in me first and the magazine second. I am pleased to say I have friends today from door knocking, because we connected not by my preaching, but by a connection we had for playing records, or talking football ect...

  Tornapart " I don't think changing clothes in certain places is unacceptable, people do it all the time on the beach. As long as a person doesn't go totally nude"

  The Rebel:- have you ever been on a nudist beach, because if you have you would find even having clothes to change in certain places is unacceptable:-)

  What is the purpose of life?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

  because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

  i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

  As a kid when I grew up I was always disappointed when my favorite T.V show got cancelled. With modern day technology and a modern day application, I wouldn't be disappointed if some threads got locked.

  As a 16 year old art student I remember how a lady model took off her towel and then she was naked, it was the first time I had seen a naked woman. I was embarrassed and aroused, but as I started to draw I was able to look at her like a marble statue. It was only during the break when she moved and took a cigarette did I get pleasantly disturbed again. Oh how I remember those great days of being at art college and following a football club outside of watchtower control ....

  Maybe what I have to say has no value, but in my opinion DJS is not a bully, and rebelfighter is a person who is very fragile, and has been hurt in life. Cancer took my father in law two years ago. I am glad you got over your battle with cancer rebelfighter. Anyway maybe the trick on an O.P is to bend, just let things go? I mean who really cares anyway about the O.P? It's simply not worth all the fighting.

  Just my opinion.

  Didn't superman change clothes in a phone box :-)

  Anyway I am not judging but I have noticed a new trend for public breast feeding, and have seen it in the coffee shop and at the public library.
