Here's the JW answer to it all......
by palmtree67 ini was talking to a jw friend about what it was that ct russell was doing prior to 1914 that made him acceptable to jesus, over everyone else.. i mentioned the pyramids, celebration of "pagan" holidays, stealing of thoughts from other religious people, the "odd" lifestyle of russell, etc.
and i asked, "so, what was it that made ct russell more acceptable to god than anyone else at that time?".

Who really supports "the work"?
by palmtree67 ini've been thinking alot about all the threads here regarding the bethel lay-offs.
i'd imagine that those laid off will have to rely on their families or social safety nets to help them out.. my man is a successful fader, but his family are all super-jw's.
parents pioneering in a foreign land, youngest pioneering where the need is great, oldest sibling is on the fast track to being a co. my man went to university and is in the upper-wage earning tax bracket.

Would you like to hear an interesting experience?
by palmtree67 inon friday, one of the patients who is a jw gave the doc the latest mags.. at lunchtime, the doc handed them to me and asked if i wanted to read them.
(if you remember, i am df'ed and the cleaning lady at work made a point of making sure the doc i work for knows it.).
i took them and said, "you're not going to read them?".

Give Yourself a Mental Makeover
by palmtree67 ini was just reading an article about how what we think and believe affects our self-esteem and well-being.
the first step is understanding the types of thinking that can hold you back.. twisted thoughts.
1. overgeneralization: we take a one-time occurence and make it the rule of thumb.. 2. blame game: we blame ourselves when we could not possibly bear responsibility.. 3. black & white thinking: we interpret everything as an absolute, with no shades of gray.. backward beliefs.
