Was there ever a GOOD time to be a JW?
by gaiagirl inconsidering the history of the "organization", and how beliefs, practices and attitudes have changed through time, was there ever any time that a "international bible student" or jw was relatively more enlightened or had more freedoms than members of other religions?
or have they always been enslaved to one set of superstitious beliefs or another, to a greater degree than most other religions?

What are the LAST thoughts of a JW?
by gaiagirl inwhen a jw dies, from results of an accident, disease, or especially, complications resulting from "old age", what do you suppose their last thoughts are?
would they think they have wasted their lives waiting for something which never did and never will come?
or do they really expect to close their eyes and open them in a paradise?

When has Science Ever been proven wrong by the Bible?
by gaiagirl inthe watchtower sunday made a claim to the effect that when science conflicts with the bible, the bible has always been proven to be correct.
if i had been there, i would have asked "could you provide some specific examples"?.
i'm thinking that reality is actually the other way, science always disproves the bible.

"Corrupt" music video, could this apply to freedom from WTBTS?
by gaiagirl inheard this song by becky baeling, and thought how it works on more than one layer.
on the surface, it is just about a woman seducing a man, but below that, it can be about being freed from chains of bondage to a society which is in itself corrupt.

Speed limits and other traffic laws: Caesars things to Caesar?
by gaiagirl inhow conscientious have you observed jw's to be in regard to traffic laws?
do they obey them in the same manner they claim to obey bible verses?
or do they ignore them for the most part, and try to get away with whatever they can?.
