  Top of pages 22,23 Practical Ways to Reduce Anxiety: 1-7:

  2: have realistic Expectations Ecc. 7:16 : comment:

  relax, don't worry about Armageddon. The wt anointed generation started to overlap after 1992, after the death of Fr. Franz. We are less than 24 years into the overlap.

  Some Laplanders*** live to +107 years, even after a baptism at 9. so : relax, be realistic, 2075 is far away, go to

  1: Set appropriate priorities : --right. make the best of the next 60 years. and the wt leaders will pass away, they will end before the end.

  These stories about a universal problem are nothing but a diversion from the real and unique issues with the wt religion. spiritual autism.

  "--Mom wanted to know if that was in the "Proclaimers" Book or somewhere she could show the young JW that it WAS TRUE!! If only they really knew the real "JW Heritage" rather than their re-written shenanigans of "truth". . Doc. .

  Proclaimer book page 78 par. 2,3 : "-1925 will mark the return from the dead of Abraham, Jacob---and the faithful prophets of old-- to the condition of human perfection--" some hoped that they would receive their heavenly reward in that year. --" ***

  like this week's wt, then blame the gullible victims/believers for the depressing debacle that followed, when the princes were not Abraham, Jacob, Israel, but the company servants/ elders. ha ha.

  *** cited from the booklet " Millions now living will never die" the masterpiece that got the wt elected to be the F&D Slave in 1919.

  Thank you, now I am primed for listening to, not reading, this wt white wash.

  Blaming the victims, and giving the abusers a justification to keep acting as is, without cultivating the "new personality". spot on.

  Incredible document on the Watchtower and cognitive dissonance

  i recieved an awesome document in my youtube messages yesterday.

  the person giving it told me it was the best description of the experience he had went through which involved entering and exiting the watchtower over the course of only a few years.. .

  A recommended read. Slight correction on 1975:

  The numbers did not climb after 1975, but started to decline one year after. It apparently took a few month to sink in, that this was a total failure, and not a miscalculation by a few weeks, or something that should be glossed over,. -- or strengthen the faith.??

  Possibly many, included us, were in total denial, stubbornly not admitting to ourselves, and to others that we had been had, and kept going.- sort of.

  Will the next generation act like that too, when the overlapping generation peters out, past 2075 ?

  "--there were concentration camps in Poland,--" never a jw:

  that is how these stories are slanted. There were no polish concentration camps! until 1945.

  terrible as these abuse stories are, they are not what makes the wt uniquely abhorrent.

  Book study this week...more trumpeting over the organzations greatness

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know, there are some studies that are painful to sit through because of the blatant lies or bull shite spewing from the platform.

  then there are those that seem to have no reason for even taking place.. such was the case for last nights congregation bible study.. all it did was talk about how many books and magazines have been published over the years and "aren't we wonderful that we print so much stuff"?

  this is a study into important biblical things?

  "Self praise, is NO praise!" siar2: it is even better in german:

  Eigenlob stinkt. self praise stinks. Freundeslob hinkt, a friend's praise is lame, flawed. but

  They are brainwashing the members through these memory exercises:

  Repeat "we are great, Jesus did it, since 1914." repeat:

  Finding Peace in Older Age

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a cool sense of tranquility overtakes my troubled spirit.. i emerge slowly from a deeply entrenched, lifelong nightmare and proceed into gentle reverie, into quiet wakefulness.

  youthful ideals, embodied in vaporous form before me, are a black reminiscence, threatening to return as an untold want having neither name nor substance, only a niggling dig that skewers my soul.. i shut it out, shut out all the noise in the head: irrational thought, excessive thinking that leads to depression, to insanity.

  yet, i am hopeful that devils of the past are blocked approach to me by a portcullis that guards both heart and mind.. i see but darkly my amorphous reflection and sense it is a phantom, not the real me.

  CC, my words can not soar to your heights of expression.

  What gives me comfort is, that hopefully, when the day comes, I will not be fighting for my life, but feel it as a deserved stop, rest. I am in the last 10% of my life run, and the picture of a spiraling descent would be alarming to me, spins always end catastrophically, and I hope for the more common smooth landing, out of fuel, out of heights, or, not use my flying days' analogy, but surfing experience. --riding the last wave right onto the beach, as the sun sets.

  German jazz in Dirndl and Lederhosen.?

  a few of the melodies could come off quite nice, if you can ignore the lyrics, Even Pavarotti, can hardly be understood.

  serve them sekt, ot selter.
