"My Kingdom is no Part of this World" - should that preclude voting?
by truthseeker injohn 18:36 .
"jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that i should not be delivered to the jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence".
if jesus' kingdom is not of this world then christians with an earthly hope would obviously not be part of jesus' heavenly kingdom.. could this perhaps be a new perspective on the issue of voting or remaining separate from this world.. think about it.. jw's teach there are two classes of christians - those with an earthly hope and those with a heavenly hope.. .

How do JW's explain the Pyramids?
by LouBelle ini've honestly forgotten what kind of a response they would have to something like that: ie how did they build the pyramids?
& when.. ** the when part would have been within 6-7000 years ago, considering they believe man has only been around that long.. ** how?
they were closer to perfection and therefore it is reasonable to believe that they could devise ways that we can't today?.

WTBTS view on activities in Second Life?
by gaiagirl inmany on this board may participate in the online computer game/visual chat-room simulation known as second life, in which you control an avatar which represents yourself, and intereact in real time with other avatars, which are also controlled by actual people.. what is the wtbts view on activities in second life?
do they have any presence in any "official" capacity in second life?.
if a jw sends their avatar to a club, and causes their avatar to become "intoxicated", will the person behind that avatar be called before a judicial committee?

Could a religion form around the life and teachings of Ghandi?
by gaiagirl inghandi lived a life which many would view as exemplary, and is revered even now as a model humanitarian.
could the stories associated with his life expand over the next several centuries so that a religion based on his life and example would be created?
would future generations tell stories about miracles which he performed, stories which we don't tell because the stories haven't yet been created?

Wheel of Fortune - Satan's latest ploy
by sir82 inat the recent circuit assembly..... on saturday afternoon, there was a symposium on behavior modification "conquering the evil with the good".. along with the usual idiotic groundless assertions about the "dangers" of university education, new technology, internet porn, etc., there was this new and rather startling revelation of a subtle satanic snare that all should watch out for..... game shows!.
yes, directly in the society's outline, there was a specific and clear-cut point on the "dangers" of watching game shows on tv!
watching them could (paraphrase) "get you to thinking about how much money or prizes the contestant was winning, and then you're thinking 'boy, i'd sure like to have that new car / boat / dinette set', and that leads to materialism.".

Born Agains:- What do you beileve?
by LouBelle inthere was a post on here about been being a born again christian.
i must admit i don't know all the ins & outs of being one, but i did pop into a church and did a stint for 3 months before i left as their doctrine become clearer to me - i couldn't stay.. i'm not sure if these beliefs are held all around the earth by bas so clarification would be welcome:.
1. paying tithe: i was told by the leaders of the church that this is a mandate from god/the bible and it plays a key roll in doing the will of the lord.. 2. once saved...always saved & a constant laying your sins at the foot of the cross.. 3. the belief in the rapture.

What holiday is your favorite?
by gaiagirl ini really enjoy halloween.
the air is crisper and cooler, a relief from the hot summer.
the season is a celebration of the harvest, as the earth has once more provided her bounty which the people store up to last through the winter until spring.. .
