  What is the best advise you have ever been given?

  awhile a go i was uptight about a matter i can't remember now and my friend said to me " give the other side the victory".

  a while ago my little boy was getting uptight and argumentative with his mum i asked him " to let it go" in effect i suppose " giving the other side the victory".

  anyway i am sure our life exsperiences have allowed us both receive and give good advice.

  WHAT IS FACT. ( A bizarre fantazy)

  i think my earlier post " what is a fact" has run it's course.

  in this thread i would like to present the same question " what is a fact" from a different viewpoint.. many j.w children have loving parents ( that is a fact) but parents who insanley demanded unquestioning obidience to their deranged standards.. so " what is a fact" to innocent children is that a god who they have never seen nor heard, will destroy them if they dont live to the g.bs deranged standards.. so basically these children have been taught the wrong meaning of words:-.

  love is conditional.

  Or let me ask a question.

  Who of us can say 100 % that all they believe to be a fact is a fact?

  You see the facts i grew up with were never facts at all:-

  My O.P of a boy with loving parents is true. The rest a " bizarre fantazy"

  Then my reading on the holocaust. I belived as a fact the authentisity of the " Anne Frank diary". I belived each and every word i read in " Night" by Elie Weisel. I belived in the words in the book " Halina" ..I read the " The last Enemy" a story about a spitfire pilot during world war two. All these books are classics and presented as factual truth belived by millions.

  Now i have researched these books they are to me nothing more than " bizarre fantazies". Yes much of the contents have truth in them, and they feed the humun soul. But if you research it becomes easy to learn the " facts" from " bizarre" fantazy.

  So properganda and statistics dont make fact. Then why are we so sure 6 + 6 does not make 13?

  Or if you dont understand my above point about 6 + 6 , let me put it another way, why should a person who has been bought up on " facts" that were not " facts" believe 6 plus 6 equals 12?

  Does money buy happiness and a longer life? You decide...

  i poured over time magazine's sep 8-15 2014 edition article "who we are" and put together this spreadsheet on the results from their poll.

  i found the statistics quite fascinating.. most people would say that "money doesn't buy happiness", but this poll seems to me to indicate the exact opposite of that.

  it also correlates education levels with higher earning that result in that happiness.

  As a silly experiment i once went 2 weeks without money. It was i realized shmeful as i had my mortgage paid and a freezer full of food.

  What i learnt however was the less we need money the more happy we are. So my conclusion is live within your means and dont get in to debt.

  Being in debt i can imagine brings unhappiness.

  Money is very important to happiness, but i value my ability as an artist brings me a higher level of happiness. The heath of those i love is an even greater happiness.

  I have a friend who won the lottery, she bought her son a house, and went on holidays. She has no money left. What she did with the money is still her happiness.

  As a child my little boy through the ages of 4 and 6 had an invisable friends named Moley. He used to create the most imaginative and incredible stories, and i delighted in writting those adventures in to a book.

  But who wrote that book?

  I believe it was written by a little boy and that i was just the secretsry.

  Back to my O.P. The easy answer would be it doesn't matter where you get your information from, what matters is if it's true or not.

  But is their more to the answer? I would say we are at a stage now when people can get an incredible amount of information to support what they already think as a fact.

  Now my little boy let Moley go when he no longer needed him. And moley never really existed that is a fact. But he did exist, in my childs mind that is also a fact.

  I think my earlier post " What is a fact" has run it's course.

  In this thread i would like to present the same question " what is a fact" from a different viewpoint.

  Many J.W children have loving parents ( that is a FACT) but parents who insanley demanded unquestioning obidience to their deranged standards.

  So " What is a fact" to innocent children is that a God who they have never seen nor heard, will destroy them if they dont live to the G.Bs deranged standards.

  So basically these children have been taught the wrong meaning of words:-

  Love is conditional

  God is all loving, but will destroy all that dont meet his standards.

  The G.B have direct communication with God, and this God has a name " Jehover"

  To please this God " Jehover" i must aim for baptisam, and give my all my love and effort to the organisation.

  All the above is a bizare fantazy but for a child growing up a Jehovers Witness it's a FACT.

  I have much more to say on this subject, but would welcome your viewpoints . Thanks.
