When did you think Armageddon would come?
by comment ini was just thinking about this.
having been raised "in the truth" post-1975, i didn't grow up with any specific year in mind.
yes, there was the notion of "this generation will by no means pass away," but by the time i was old enough to think about that concept, the people who were born in 1914 (to stretch it out as far as possible, as the society ultimately did) were still only in their 60's.

Telling someone you've known a long time that you were a JW
by comment intonight i was out having dinner with a friend/colleague i've known for five or six years.
the conversation turned to religion: first religion in politics, then his general distaste for religion, and then his lack of a religious upbringing.

Where did 9/13 interview w/JR Brown come from?
by comment ini'm listening to this mp3 recording of an interview with jr brown about the wt's child abuse policy right now which i found on watchtowernews.org.. how was this interview obtained, considering that brown wouldn't speak directly to dateline or panorama but only issued a video release?.
just curious.
for some reason i can't find anyone discussing this interview on the board--maybe i've overlooked a topic--and it seems pretty significant!.

Do You Still Read Terrorist Thrillers?
by comment ini was sorting through my bookshelves today and noticed that i had quite a few terrorist thrillers.. that is, books like the day of the jackal by frederick forsyth, black sunday by thomas harris, the fifth horseman by larry collins and rainbow six by tom clancy.. i'm wondering how other people feel.
do you still read those books?
or do you feel uncomfortable with them in the wake of the september 11 terrorist attacks?.
