the reality that all of us ultimately must face is that we get older and our bodies, and our minds eventually fail us.
i have seen this first hand in my family, in the jw community, and in the ex-jw community.
it is simply a sad part of the human condition, as is physical, emotional, and mental illness.
I'm chiming in at 63!
Yeah getting older makes you take a closer look at death and sickness and all the things that come with getting older. I think about both sets of grandparents more and what they went through facing the grim reaper.
On a positive note: I think a lot about my childhood and see how first learned things and how my ideas have changed and matured with the passing of time and better understandings. Sorta a review and make sense of the whole experience thing going on with me.
watchtower study edition nov 16 pg 19. classic............................ .
Giving money to the WT corporation is only thrilling if your completely and totally brainwashed by corporation directives that tells you how to feel about giving money to them, remember and repeat the mantra: Listen, Obey, and be Bless by the Watchtower dudes.
i think everyone here is under the impression that i am a watchtower sympathizer, i am not.
i just like facts and when people say things, which are their opinions but that facts point out as not being true, than that is when i get so motivated to make a comment.
i have read posts here, listened to six screens and read jwsurvey and seen things that people say, which are opinion, but pass them off as fact.. there are legitimate things that people on here and former jws have concerns over without manipulating what is said or trying to pass off opinion as a fact.
i have often seen many categorise the organisation in different ways.
some say cult, some say high control religion.
cult or high control religion?.
How about a 3rd option? 3)Mind Control Cult.
i just ran across this quote which resonated with me.. by way of introduction, hmp whatton is europe's largest prison for contact and non contact sex offenders against adults and children.
it's based in nottinghamshire in the uk.. david potter is one of hmp whatton's most experienced facilitators of treatment programmes.. in an interview with the bbc he said "in groups, a lot of the work we do is aimed at building the self-esteem of people that have committed a sexual offence, because a lot of sexual offending is as a direct result of low self-esteem.
in groups we try and build their sense of self worth.".
I think you may be onto something, as in : you got to love yourself before you can really love others.
For sure their are other factors but the one you mentioned must be the main one IMO.
i'm thinking his willful failure to be briefed by the cia about russian election tampering and not understanding diplomatic protocall.
making off handed statements without proper research about the mater.
he's an outsider when it comes to running the government that will make big mistakes at every turn because he seems clueless when it comes to running a government.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-moore-predicts-trump-impeach-resign_us_58261464e4b0c4b63b0c6dee.
I can barely believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually starting to feel a measure of sympathy for the United States government
I know what you mean. They are going to have their hands full with this guy as commander and chief.

I think another issue that he is facing is divesting himself of all his business interest that will interfere with his running the US governing properly and not to fatten his wallet from favors his high office can grant.
This is going to be a major hurdle Donald Trump and he never really thought it through and he is very likely going to let his narcissistic personality disorder get him all fumbled up with lying and cheating when it comes to that,, but for sure he will be under a lot of scrutiny in these dealings which could lead to impeachment. This narcissist is under a lot of pressure and his speech about all kinds things will keep getting meaner he can't help it he's got the disorder, just keep him away from the nukes for god sake.

I hope the US government enacts regulation in the future to prevent embarrassing situations like this moron suffering from a personality disorder becoming president from ever happening again. At least some type some kind of appropriate psychoanalysis recommending them safe for the job of running a country. After all many lives are in the balance and it seems like the most human thing to do.
