Myth what are they good for??
by frankiespeakin inafter viewing 7 videos about myths featuring joseph campbell who is considered a leading authority on the subject i would like to start a thread on the subject.. carl jung also found these myths fascinating,,and had a great deal to say about them for they reveal things to us about the deep inner workings of the psyche of our species.
myth are a projection of unconscious part of ourselves, that is comunicating to the ego (or conscious part of us) to cause us to act in a certain way that may go contrary to the wants and desires of the ego for our benifit.. here are some things i have come to apreciate about the subject even though not well versed in it,,i'm sure that many on this forum can speak with much more insight than i on this subject.. myths give us a connection to the trancsended,,a sort of intermediate,, a way of discribing the undiscribable in artistic story telling form that offer some type of answer to the unknown.
myths are formed help explain our place in the particular society we live.

What's in your library?
by the_classicist inwhats in your personal bible or religious library?
let's see what i have... cambridge kjv (really nice, calfskin leather), cambridge reb (really nice, not as good as kjv though), 50 year old douay rheims (with annoying jw notes and written-in textual changes inside, courtesy jw great-grandmother), rsv-ce (imitation leather, looks extremely cheap), nab (imitation leather, looks better but sucky confraternity notes in it).
that's my bible collection (i got rid of the nwt).

The org is going down----I can feel it!
by stopthepain in.
my brother called me today.he is 20 ,3 years younger than me,and out of the religion.he still has fear though that it could be true,but thats another story.. he told me he heard my mother and father talking upstairs.my mother said about the org "ive put 26 years into it,i think i'm done with it,i might just go sunday from now on".this is huge ,because she was a devoted nutjob witness.she made my life horrible for the 1st 17 years of my life.i had been trying to suddly tell her the truth about the troof,but i didn't expect this.i'm happy and yet i want to know where she stands with the borganization.. this along with what seems to be an outpouring of similar stories,i have a gut feeling the jehovahs witness mind control cult is on the brink of implosion.everyone is so burdened by it.the jig is up,gb,good riddance when you fold.the rank and file have had enough.my 2 younger sisters are on the edge of mental freedom.i hope they can fully get free of it.. this is a milestone in my families long and strange trip in mental enslavement!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know many jw's in the seattle area and eastside.
