Driving songs
by arrowstar inplaying on the radio now is jackson browne's "running on empty".
this brought to mind all those times i would be driving back to nacogdoches on that winding texas two lane highway with the dogwoods lacing through the pines, the windows down and me singing harmony.
all the while, i'm pushing that pedal down...faster ....and faster.

Studies in the Scriptures
by Justin inas interest has been expressed from time to time regarding the wts' oldest publications, i would like to submit a few posts on my observations of studies in the scriptures, the original six volumes written by charles taze russell.
these are still published by various bible student associations but not by the wtb&ts.. the plan for the scripture studies (hereafter ss) was to use the first volume, the divine plan of the ages, as a base or foundation upon which the succeeding volumes would be built.
thus, the bible student is (was) encouraged to continually reread and restudy the ss in order to grasp the relationship between the first volume and the succeeding ones.. the "divine plan of the ages" is a dispensational scheme in which the present age is contrasted with the future (millennial) age, and in which there are two different salvation plans, each applicable depending upon the age in which one lives.

Little Freedoms
by cruzanheart innow that you're no longer a jw, do you wish people "good luck" or say "bless you" when they sneeze?
wish people a "happy easter" voluntarily and not just mumble "same to you" when they wish it to you?
i do, and every time i do i get a little thrill and smile to myself because it's just one more thing i now have the freedom to do, and it's a little thing but i think it shows care and respect for my fellow humans.

Do the Sadduccees deserve to be seen in a more favorable light?
by True North indoes anyone remember the old joke about the sadduccees, that they didn't believe in the resurrection and that's why they were "sad-you-see"?
i think that on the whole, the sadduccees get pretty bad press from both jews and christians and i've often thought that maybe they don't entirely deserve it.
i know that they are said to have been "the establishment", collaborating with the romans and trying to keep a lid on the trouble being stirred up by the pharisees, the zealots, and the assorted messianic movements in order to preserve their own privileges and status.
