An interesting story and the Jehovah Witnesses

by brainmenu 5. August 2008 10:05

"The Third Wave" tells a story of a teacher who provides a powerful lesson about Nazi Germany and more importantly a lesson about what appears to be our natural human desires and needs. The story very much reflects my own experience and has reminded me of how my desires and needs have shaped me and effect my depression and anxiety.

Also, the Jehovah Witnesses are a frequent visitor to our doorstep and on the last visit I accepted a book (bible type thing) from them and said I would read some of it (which I have). They have also asked to come back to discuss their beliefs with me for 10 minutes which much to my parners surprise I accepted (I am an athiest). When I explained to my partner that the Jehovah Witnesses have something that I was interested in she was even more surprised but I went on to explain that they have a very strong religious belief, that many people find religion gives them strength in situations such as mine and that I might be able to learn something about this trait by listening to them. Personally, I find religion to be very much in line with the story of "The Third Wave" but I hope that how other people gain strength from religious beliefs might help me gain strength in my own beliefs (although not religous) and increase my confidence and self-esteem.

I don't have high hopes of getting much out of the meeting but not working means I have spare time during the day so I haven't got anything to lose.
