  What makes you---YOU?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  of course this is an open ended question but have you ever really thought about what makes you who you are?.

  is it our looks, our personality, our physique, our intelligence, our experiences and subsequent memories, our beliefs?

  is it a combination of all these things and even more?

  Nothing.

  I guess I figured that out after listening to Lawrence Krauss' lecture on A Universe From Nothing.

  At the most, I'm just a field of energy dancing for itself.

  Existential crisis over.

  Omg first time I comment on a Christian/Katja thread and I said "outstanding" twice in the second last sentence.

  Did I mention I thought the episode was outstanding? I did?

  Okay... cool. Just making sure.

  Nice thought for the day ...

  just thought i'd share what i found in my fortune cookie.

  (i know, fortune cookies are inviting demons, just like lucky charms cereal 😜) well actually it's more of a proverb, like most of them are nowadays:.

  "as one grows to understand life less and less, one learns to live it more and more.".

  @Compound Complex: "...those who feel certainty are stupid" - Bertrand Russell.

  How many of our loved ones are living in a false state of certainty? They don't even claim to have truth, but rather, are IN it!

  Hawkings and Boorstin appear to have understood our plight with waking family up when expressing the following sentiment: "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge."

  It's like when you're dead. You don't know you are dead - it's only painful for others.

  Same with being stupid.

  @stuckinarut2: "More hype about nothing. The GB really do have a gullible audience who will clap and ooh and ahh over the most inane "releases"."

  It would be like attending a car show and hearing "NEW, from Chrysler... a car space."

  @Christian Gutierrez You guys really set the bar high by starting with such an incredible interview! I watched Jason's story twice. I'm just wondering how on earth you're going to top this masterpiece with episode two?!

  Thank you so much, Katja, for sharing Jason's story with us all. Between your gentle nature and Jason's sincere method of delivery, this homemade docu-series has surpassed all expectations. The whole episode was just an outstanding demonstration of yours and Christian's outstanding workmanship and passion for the community.

  Love to you both from Sydney.

  Suicide in the spiritual paradise all too common

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just heard that a young brother committed suicide this week - the whole congregation is naturally very distressed.

  what a tragedy.

  according to my source he'd only been married about a year and his wife found him - he’d hung himself.

  @Phoebe That's so negligent and deadly, the way this "shepherd" dismissed you when you were checking out of this universe for good... He obviously paid attention in that atrocious elders' training video where the elder caring for a suicidal sister instructs her to chant "I am an integrity keeper" as a fix all for her inescapable suffering.

  Just like cyber bullies have to answer to the law when a teen suicides as a result of the merciless taunting online, so should these elders for every congregational member who didn't pull through the way you did. I wonder how many poor souls weren't as strong as you, Pheebs. We're just so lucky to have you here today supporting us on this forum. I can't imagine how much more fortunate your children are to have a mother as lucid and resolved as you are today

  Are most Jdubs narcicistic? Does the religion breed narcicistic behaviors?

  by Whynot in

  https://pro.psychcentral.com/exhausted-woman/2015/05/15-narcissistic-religious-abuse-tactics/.

  i read the above posted article and it made me wonder how many narcicistic people join the borg because it fits well with their personality.

  i also wonder if being indoctrinated makes you become narcicistic.

  All Witnesses fall short of the perfect standard they're held to by the Organization's teachings and culture. The subconscious fear of congregational discovery and subsequent judgement, coupled by the deadening discomfort of impending destruction at Armageddon creates a cocktail of psychological dysfunction. A few bow under pressure and become the depressive types who you see burning out along the way. And a great deal find comfort in pure deflection. In order to avoid confronting their own heinous imperfections, they project all of their indiscretions and shortcomings onto others, thereby absolving themselves from any negative attention. The position of constantly looking for and pointing out the faults of others as a diversion from taking stock of their own is the core element of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

  @stuckinarut2 My father told me that the brother delivering the public talk shot up like a rocket from the impact. He's the same brother who married my folks. And to this day, one of my older brothers works for him. That brother still walks with a limp, nearly four decades later :(.
