  Money and Happiness

  by berrygerry in

  wt has made a number of references to this alleged quote by j. paul getty:.

  “money doesn’t necessarily have any connection with happiness.

  nothing in my wt life brought more stress and anxiety than not having enough money.. this quote makes far more sense:.

  Would you give up one year at the end of your life if you could relive any one day in the past?

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  like the question asks: if you could relive any one day of your life, any age, any place and remember everything about it afterwards, would you be willing to live one year shorter at the end of your life?

  one day for one year?.

  i realize that someone well on in years would think twice about it, but, what about you younger ones?

  If I was able to live this day over again, would I know what I know now? And if I was able to make a change, will it affect the trajectory of my life? If the answer to these questions is yes, the I agree to your proposition.

  Where do I sign up?

  I don't think I ever felt "love." They tolerated me but did not love me.

  Which is just fine, I am not very loveable. On the flip side, I did not show a lot of love to my fellow r&f at the kingdom hall. I hope I was nice to everyone, but I never got the whole "love" thing.

  an innocent picture of a city in my country, spain.

  the pic says everything.

  many jw are really disgusted about everything, even their new preaching cart.

  so much for babylon the great falling in 1919

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  suposedly babylon the great lost her power and influence over the people and government rulers back in 1919. flash forward to today the russian orthodox church is behind the banning of witnesses in russia.

  yet another failed prophecy!

  have these guys gotten anything right?!

  It is funny that we no longer hear about the fall of Babylon the Great occurring in 1919. Does the Wt still believe this? Or is this old light?

  Why more highly educated people are less into conspiracy theories

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've seen discussions here about how jehovah's witnesses seem to be prone to believing conspiracy theories... https://digest.bps.org.uk/2017/04/05/why-more-highly-educated-people-are-less-into-conspiracy-theories/.

  this last paragraph seems particularly relevant:.

  importantly, van prooijen said his findings help make sense of why education can contribute to “a less paranoid society” even when conspiracy theories are not explicitly challenged.

  Good thread. Thus, we know why the Watchtower does not want the R&F to get an education.

  There is no bigger conspiracy theory than the God-Satan battle for world sovereignty.

  It must be a slow news day. I have gone to Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Since I was not looking for a gay bar, I can't help you. In any event, the island was quite nice, I highly recommend it.

  Position of responsibilities

  by bola in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remembered a time i read in the forum that it is better (especially for men) to seek positions of responsibility in the world than to seek positions of responsibility in the jw organisation.

  please i do not understand that stance.

  explain..

  I doubt that anyone on this forum is seeking a position of responsibility in the Watchtower. You must have read incorrectly.

  Why do you think that women should have different career goals as compared to men? Some might find that sexist and offensive.
