  ...for the average jw as i see them out in door to door work.

  i shake my head and think; they just don't know.

  or maybe they do, but are in a dilemma similar to thousands if not millions right now.

  who's demanding?

  faith in ourselves has superseded faith in god .

  early in the 19th century, disputing the religious dogmatism of the puritans, ralph waldo emerson preached that "it is by yourself without ambassador that god speaks to you.

  GB, Education, Jack-ass, Witnet?

  by Pathofthorns in

  1. jw

  very interesting comments in this thread at witnet.

  the original poster suggests how it was perceived by some to be shocking that dan sydlik (gb member) used the word "jack-ass" in a talk.. but as pointed out by bodhissatva in the following post, that it was who dan sydlik referred to as "jack-asses" that was the sad thing.. brother sydlik was saying that bethel especially needs people with skills, certifications, and qualifications.

  to make this point, he said (in his characteristic booming voice), "of course, any jackass can swing a hammer.".
