JW Literature References on psychotherapy (or WT CDROM source?)
by feenx ini am working on a project and wondering if anyone has specific references to policies or official viewpoints printed in society pubs about seeking psychotherapy.
i believe the current stance is that there isn't a problem with it, so long as the therapy and advise given/followed does not conflict with or interfere with bible principles or practices.
i seem to remember it being somewhat taboo still when i was younger, and that additional theocratic activity was always a good supplement to therpay, if not the best therapy.

The Spirit World - where's the middle ground?
by feenx inhey everybody :)
after a post yesterday about dead loved ones returning in spirit form i started to think, from an ex jw standpoint, when it comes to the spirit world where is the middle ground?
perhaps some ex jw's don't believe in a spirit world anymore, perhaps some still do.

SO freakin frustrating! Gnostic Gospels ebook...stupid PDF
by feenx inhey everybody :/
so i bought the book the gnostic gospels off ebook.com as i was impatient and wanted to read it versus trying to order a print version and wait for it.
i figured it would be the best of both worlds because i could read it on my work computer in my down time and then i can print out whatever i wanted to read elsewhere.

Jehovah a Dyad?
by feenx inhappy f*cking friday everyone!
so i am reading the gnostic gospels by elaine pagels, and on pages 49-50 it presents a very interesting concept, as related in multiple gnostic texts, in reference to jehovah.
among the many things gnostics believed contrary to jw's, one thing was that jehovah is/was a dyad, a duality of masculine and feminine.

Opinion: Gnostic view of Jehovah
by feenx inhey all :)
so i've been reading up many things gnostic (i know, better late than never right?
) and when i read about their theory on jehovah my jaw just about dropped to the floor and i found it to be a very interesting and intriguing that in many ways made sense with how jehovah was/is portrayed by the jw's.
