He was my hero. I read it all..... Even the stuff not in his own name. Wish I had met him. I had heard he responded to fan mail personally. Night Ray. All the good guys are named Ray.

You & Your Family Will Be Harmed If You Dont Obey The FDS 8/15/12 WT

by yourmomma in

here is a quote from the 8/15/12 watchtower study simplified edition that just was posted on jw.org.. on page 13 paragraph 12 it says "those who ignore the warnings from the faithful and discreet slave will harm themselves and those they love.".

also, another doozy is earlier on paragraph it likens those who have not read social networking articles from the faithful slave before using, "is like taking a powerful medicine without first reading the warning on the bottle.".

im not even done reading this whole magazine yet, but i thought i'd share these insane comments.

If we don't follow a "nonexistant religious concept" it could lead to personal harm? The nerve. (They admitted it in court, remember?)

Validation - a basic human need?

by Fernando in

a friend taught me that this is a very important part of interacting with others.

in her sales activities for example she makes it a point to listen carefully, indicate where she understands and agrees, make notes, and openly staple the person's business card to her notes.. should we be seeking to validate others in our lives and on jwn as having an inalienable right to exist, have an opinion even if different from ours, and to freely express that opinion, and to be heard, and to be understood?.

i'd love to read your thoughts and opinions, especially if you are a member of the seemingly large and usually silent audience on jwn..

If you don't get validated you could get a ticket.

by Wasanelder Once in

it was only last year we had that quoted.

i've searched in vain.

i thought i'd bookmarked it but guess not.

It was only last year we had that quoted. I've searched in vain. I thought I'd bookmarked it but guess not. I have two friends studying and this would put the nail in the coffin I think. Remember how it said that if you do not "accept the full scope of revealed truth" you could be expelled? This is my paraphrase. Can someone help a guy out here? THanks to all in advance.

kafka

by d in

has anybody read kafka since leaving the witness?

i sure have and it was the most insightful into a depressed man's mind.

look at this photo.

That drawing makes Kafka look as if he has thyroid problems! The Hunger Artist is a haunting tale. In The Penal Colony was equally disturbing. You know how these insurance adjusters are.
