do you believe in karma?
by SpiceItUp inwe have all heard the cliche' "what goes around comes around" but do you really believe it?.
i know this person that for many years has been unkind, devious and vengeful and then over more recent years has had bad luck everywhere they turned around.
i mean one thing after another.

Being your own best friend!
by LDH intonight while reading sheila m's post about thunder's parents not even saying anything nice to him when he got his book published, put me in mind of something i've been thinking for a while.. today, all you hear about is "self-esteem" this and "self-esteem" that---a lack of it causes everything from suicide to eating disorders and everything in between.
i believe concerned parents today are much more in tune with rewarding postitive behavior by reinforcing it through praise.. as a jw child, what special assaults on your self-esteem did you suffer and how did you deal with it?.
in short, are you your own best friend?

Putting on the NEW personality
by Lady Lee inthis whole concept of putting on the new personality when one becomes a jw is a lot more serious than most people realize.
people truly develop a second personality.
this personality is child-like and obedient.

Who leaves first?
by freedom96 ini was just remembering a guy from our hall that seemed to be the most intellectual of everyone there.
when he would give an answer, it was in depth, and always "in his own words.".
he had the biggest briefcase there, with all sorts of books, and research.

Why can't I just shut up about the JWs?
by logansrun inyou know, i'm pretty smart and pretty dumb all rolled up into one.
i have a pretty decent relationship with my jw mother who basically never says anything about religion one or the other.
well, i got into conversation with her about hindu music and how i really liked it (ravi shankar is awesome!).
