  I read something about truth once.....it went.........

  The Sutra of One Hundred Parables tells the story of a young widower who

  returned home one day to find his house burned downand his five-year-old son

  lost. Near the ruins of his house was the charred corpse of a child that he believed to

  be his son, and he wept and wept. After the child's cremation, he kept the ashes in a

  bag and carried them with him day and night. But his son had not actually perished in the fire.

  He had been taken off by bandits, and one day he escaped and returned to his father's house.

  The boy arrived at midnight, when his father was about to go to bed, still carrying the bag of ashes.

  The son knocked at the door. "Who are you?" asked the father. "I am your son." "You are lying.

  My son died more than three months ago." The father persisted in his belief and would not open

  the door. In the end the child had to leave, and the poor father lost his son forever.

  "When we believe something to be absolute truth and cling to it,

  we cannot be open to new ideas. Even if truth iself is knocking at our

  door, we will not let it in." "Truth is not a concept. If we cling to our

  concepts, we lose reality"

  I found much support in that story and few ideas.

  No, but than growing up I was the kid who carried his bible on the top of his books at school.

  Life is one lesson after another, guess I'm still in school. But the JW's were a hard lesson.

  A Thought About Assemblies

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since many of you already have read the annual commands from the society about conduct at assemblies.

  ( "don't cook food in your room, blah, blah, blah") , you might consider the meaning of their counsel about bringing.

  lunch.. i think they're scared.. they fear that, if enough witnesses leave the assembly to go to burger king, they might come under pressure to allow.

  2. friends

  when i walked away from the borg, i was under the impression that after six months of being inactive .

  that my publisher card was trashed.

  actually, i was told this by an elder.

  Thanks for the info Blondie. I was told by the elders when they refused to take

  action on my abuser that his cards where no long on file. Funny, I was told

  I couldn't take my spiritual brother into a court of law. They repeated that order

  to me twice that night. Than before the night was over, told me because he was

  inactive that they would do nothing. All of a sudden he was of no interest to them.

  Blondie,

  I'm very impressed by your review.

  Minimus,

  Some of us died a long time ago at the hands of the WTBS.

  I still carry the scar.
