Were visits to the library an important part of your childhood?

greetings, fellow bibliophiles:.

i remember how sad i was, as a little child, when our beloved carnegie library was razed (unsafe, structurally).

the same tragedy occurred when we moved to a new town and that similar architectural treasure was demolished to put up a new and gleaming building of steel and glass.

YES!!
I didn't go to our towns public library until a 4th-grade school trip there.
I loved the school library, but my parents were not really interested in my education.

When I was old enough to ride my bike, I was there all the time.
Not only was it this place of discovery, and new worlds, it was a place where I could meet with my friends and play games without "big brother" watching.
We would play role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, and Traveler.
Some of my happiest memories as a kid was being in my town library.

Today, bookstores and libraries are my favorite places.

Will #metoo have an affect on forcing changing attitudes at Watchtower?

by jwfacts in

despite decades of the feminist movement, watchtower's attitude of woman being inferior has changed little, with pauline sexism justified as inspired, on the basis that women are lesser emotionally, intellectually and physically.

jehovah's witnesses seem to accept this with little resistance.

is there anything about the #metoo movement that may wake followers up?

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Wait, you were seriouse:)

I loved watching that show when I was a kid. I am glad she lived a long life.
Every week someone important form my childhood is passing away, very very depressing.

The fuse is burning quickly.

Venus you are laughable.

Your logic is actually WORSE than the WT.

HAAAAAAA you are joking, right?
Past life experiences - really.. from Kids? I don't know if you are just putting us all on, or are really a moron.

By the way - you have not actually answered 1 question or point that has been asked of you.
You are obviously a Troll:)

And I think the only one who thinks Stevenson was a VERY eminent Scientist is you.
He was a quack who had Tenure.

Despite this early interest, most scientists ignored Stevenson's work. According to his New York Times obituary, his detractors saw him as "earnest, dogged but ultimately misguided, led astray by gullibility, wishful thinking and a tendency to see science where others saw superstition."[7] Critics suggested that the children or their parents had deceived him, that he was too willing to believe them, and that he had asked them leading questions. In addition, critics said, the results were subject to confirmation bias, in that cases not supportive of the hypothesis were not presented as counting against it.[8] Leonard Angel, a philosopher of religion, told The New York Times that Stevenson did not follow proper standards. "But you do have to look carefully to see it; that's why he's been very persuasive to many people."[7]

OMG Venus - you answer - which didn't answer anything - was so stupid.

Please go back to the KH or any other Cult Like Religion.

In your spare time - please PROVE to me that Leapherchans don't exist, because I have faith that they do!
They are part of the zeitgeist of many cultures and have been talked about for thousands of years.

Oh by the way - I know you are but what am I.

Hey Venus, who made god?

Did heaven exist before god existed or did he make it after, or did heaven always exist? Is heaven (which is a specific place as per the bible where god lives) also co-eternal?

If god existed for eternity:

1. How did we get to now? if god existed forever ago - how could we ever get to now, unless god had a beginning?

2. If god existed forever, why did he wait so long to make Man? If he was self-sufficient, and completely happy and fulfilled, why did it take literally forever to make a. jesus, b. other angels, c. man? Did he get discontent at some point, or board even?

Just asking.

Do you have JW-related dreams (nightmares)?

by compound complex in

greetings, dreamers:.

i guess it's never going away: daytime carryovers of jw-related stuff seeping into my dreams.. the majority of these dreams take place at conventions but with really weird trappings.

last night i dreamed i arrived at the site with no books, no lunch, nothing but my car keys.

ttdtt

I do, sadly I do.

Most are about going to the KH for some strange reason, and all kinds of uncomfortable things happen.
