An insiders account: the effort that goes into a District convention drama
by truthseeker inwhile much has been said about bible dramas in recent years, very little information has been given on the effort that goes into one.. i thought i would share my experience.. i played a minor role in the 2003 drama, "boldly witnessing despite oppsition".
this was a full costume drama and revolved around overcoming opposition to the preaching work.. when a congregation is chosen for a bible drama, it is a serious responsibility.
the presiding overseer takes full responsibility for the drama, and in effect becomes the director.

Do you wish SUFFERING on some human beings? Should you?
by BonaFide inwith the recent illness of a gb member who has hurt many people, some have commented that they would like to have him suffer, various ways have been mentioned including having his mind fine, but his body suffering.. we all here have a hatred for child molesters, abusers, those who make others suffer.. and there are many examples in history as well.
hitler, josef mengele, john wayne gacy, and many others.. is it right to want them to suffer for what they have done?
should they be made to undergo the exact same suffering they inflicted on others?.
