  What About The Soul?

  by Francois in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't recall that we've ever gotten into this issue; maybe we did and i just don't remember.

  if so, it won't hurt to revisit it; if not, it's way past time that we did.. we were all trained to believe that humankind does not have a soul, but that we are souls.

  this teaching came from the spiritual geniuses abiding at jw headquarters in brooklyn, likely assisted by their undefined "spirit-led" descision making activities and with help from someone's secret decoder ring with the secret compartment.. personally, i have 86-ed that particular piece of nonsense a long time ago.

  Does anyone miss those tuneful 'kingdom melodies' ?

  by frankie in

  2. experiences

  is there anyone out there who cannot bear those appalling kingdom melodies we had to sing ?

  i never liked them one bit, did you ?

  so wonderful to hear proper hymns (not that i'm a churchgoer) but at least they have some fantastic music.

  haunted still, after all this time.

  most of the time, i am able to separate who i am today from who i was five years ago.

  soon, it'll be the five year anniversary of my disfellowshipping.

  It's my birthday, I am mourning my lost childhood.

  by aojumper in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am so angry right now, so hurt that my family allowed my brain to be washed and hung out to dry, and then have the nerve to tell me i am on the wrong path.

  i wonder how do people let others do this to them?!

  i wish i had kept the strength that i remember i had as a very young child and told them all to go to hell!

  Could the world "go back in time" 20+ years?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  .

  the situation with sars in asia appears to be worsening and travel restrictions alone are likely to have a devastating effect on the immediate asian economy (singapore, taiwan, hong kong etc...) as a lot of these rely on trade and travel.. i wonder if the world could now cope with going back 20+ years to a time when fewer people travelled and international travel was a rarity for the majority of people.. nowadays we take for granted that we can jump on a plane and jet off to faraway lands ... but what if we couldn't?

  i think one "benefit" (bad word) to sars is that it could put a brake on globalisation which i see as a bad thing.
