I remember being at a watchtower study and the conductor said this so gleefully it made me shudder. Espically since my kids were not attending meetings , doing the typical teenage thing. I thought this man just doesnt get it , he in essence is talking about my family and their distruction. How insencitive!
blood meridian by cormac mccarthy.
i am legend by richard matheson.
my work is not yet done by thomas ligotti.
I just finished Demian by Hermann Hesse.
I took my time reading it , well it is one those books that makes you think. Underscored many things too, and it was a borrowed book. Not good book karma I think
One sentenced I marked (notice I didnt say underlined) was "I can see your thoughts are deeper than you yourself are able to express."
Well that's how I feel. I have been silent for to long.
i have heard much railing from the wts about the snares of "worldly philosophies".
according to the wts, much of what is evil in the world, including the teachings of "babylon the great" is rooted in philosophy.
this appears to be one of their hotbutton "buzzwords" to promote irrational fear about anything related to philosophy.
Interesting comments
I actually had two elders counsel me for reading books on philosophy after looking at my books in the book case. I wonder what they would have thought of the books under my bed. lol

You are a sweet, tender person. I'm happy you found someone you can connect with. Isn't that what we all truly desire?
Best to the both of you.
hey guys i need som help.
i'm writing a letter to my family about the doubts and concerns i have of the wts and how they aren't god's source for spiritual food.
i don't feel that disfellowshiping and shunning is scriptual, however i'm having trouble find evidence.

I agree with your thoughts. If you are going to follow Jesus example, You would show mercy and kindness. But sadly this is not the spirit of their system.
mine is"i refuse to prove that i exist," says god, "for proof denies faith, and without faith i am nothing.
"but," says man, "the babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it?
it could not have evolved by chance.
They did not utter the word "escape" because they did not want to admit they were prisoners. Dream is our personal myth. Both from OLd Gringo, by Carlos Fuentes. A beautifull book.
he told my husband ?i don?t care, i just need to know is this the truth or not?
i just don?t understand why.

CZAR good analagy. I will remeber this one. Also a very heartfelt letter from this eler I feel his painful conflict. .
after i left the "troof" the first thing i did was run out and get a tattoo.now ,some 18 years later i still dont regret it.i even have gotten a couple of new ones in the past couple of years......i mean not that i am covered in them,but i think if a women has them ,there is nothing wrong with that has long as they are not all over everywhere.ie...neck,face or lower arms......... i just think it is sexy on a man..( a few....not on the same areas as the women ..ie..face and neck as well.
) but for a women to have them all over her is not attractive....i think for a women to have a couple in a suddle place..( like for your partner to see or find.lol) is sexy as well...this girl in our town, has them covering her face and arms.i just think she looks scary......(i do also think that they must be done professionally and kept realistic.
)...i know your not to judge a book by its cover but, this girl wonders why, parents will not let children to her house to play with her child?
Damn it Six- There you go again choking me up with your a.. sence of humor ;-0
