It means to look objectively at the facts instead of getting all hissy, cos something has been said that threatens a cherished belief.

What is this "don't take it personally comment all about ? "
by caliber indo you think when someone takes things personally in a way they are "selfcentered" because "its all about them" .... or does it mean maybe that the person is just very caring and sensitive?.
"(a phrase people use as a disclaimer to make an excuse to say or do something rude or mean to you to prevent you from having a poor self-image or so there won't be repercussions").
when a person says not to take it personally, don't they mean it may be upset them ... just like they are requesting you not to be upset ?.

crossquestions6995 Re the opening post: “This site is not a healthy forum for discussion or healing. Its an arena for jaded athiests to bash anything Christian or God related.”
My take on your post is that, on this forum, there’s a healthy balance of Atheists, Christians and those that ain’t too sure. We could do with half a dozen Muslims, a few Jews, a Buddhist, a Hindu, and a great big spoon to stir the pot.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a simple life, just worship Dawkins - you know it makes sense.

What have Jehovah's Witnesses copied from the Mormons
by konceptual99 inhave jws pinched anything other than family worship from the mormons?.
could we see jws implement a type of meeting structure similar to the mormons to try and engage different ages in different ways?.
could we ever see a jw feel free to do anything like...?.

Not a lot. Many years ago, when I was a tender and callow fellow, I knocked at a door with an elder. The guy who opened the door told us he had no time for Jehovah's Witnesses. I asked how he knew we weren’t Mormons? His reply, “Mormons wear better suits. You ain’t as damned smart.”

I fear the GB more than I fear a God
by Comatose ini realized this about myself yesterday.
i was noticing how on a thread i thought about commenting on, i held back out of a fear i still have of speaking out against the governing body.
i have been disrespectful to the god of the bible and openly proclaimed i do not think he exists.

THE GLADIATOR
Comatose I was so well conditioned that I am still afraid to be disrespectful to the GB. To speak out against god is one thing, but to do so against the GB is even worse.
Very wise.
The Governing Body actually exists and has the power to cut off your privileges.

KateWild Why don’t you write a book? Then we can see how it should be done.
Dawkins is God to me and that's saying something - cos I'm an atheist.

Grace - I am a man without faith, but nothing you have ever said has caused offence. A long time ago, I took a cheap swipe at you, your response was so kind and accommodating that I was both moved and humbled. Hope you will reconsider. You are an asset to this forum.

A new start? Watchtower renaming at HQ Columbia Heights
by Gorbatchov infriends,.
who was in any doubt that our jw believe is a marketing model, see this pictures of the still existing hq of jw at columbia heights.. earlier comments on jwn that something is going to change in the organisation, these comments are true.. in a few years we will not talk about the watchtower society, we wil talk about jw.org.
i think the current leadership will make a transfer to a new start.
