Making peace with death
by mankkeli inhave you come to grips with the reality of dieing and ending it all, for many it was an unfathomable reality especially with the idea that many now living will never die.. but have you made peace with death?, have you resolved in your mind that death is not a painful reality and it is unfair to cheat it..

Conversation with an Elder- JW and Love
by mankkeli inexcerpt from my conversation with an elder.
elder: isn't it wonderful that we are the only one fulfilling this command of jesus christ recorded at john 13:35, by this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.
no any other organisation exhibit the christlike love that we display.. me: thats true, but we are not perfect.. elder: compare with the catholic clergy and many christendom clergies who bless soldiers going to war and these may even end up killing their members in the destination country.. me: even nowadays, in so many congregations, there are frictions amongst brothers and sisters and some may even keep malice for years.

Apostates Shut the door of everlasting life in Men's Faces
by mankkeli ini was discussing with an elder today, and as usual the conversation drifted towards apostates and their line of reasoning, he angrily looked into my eyes with the scriptures in his hand and told me:.
(1) that apostates are destructive peddlers who shut the door of everlasting life on people as they are very sure they have no portion in there.
he quoted matt 23:13- 13 woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!

WT and money
by mankkeli inbeing absorbed in making a living sometimes poses grave dangers.
it may lead to love of money.
in the first century, there was a group of religionists called pharisees who were known for their love of money.

Depressing
by mankkeli inisn't it depressing to believe that this is all there is to life?, an elder told me today that philosophers, apostates, free thinkers and many other enemies of the truth alike do not offer any hope for the future.
but this is the only organisation offering the hope.. what do you think?, the thought of living for just 70 or 80 yrs and not returning back is very depressing or do some other line of reasonings offer any hope?.
i am just curious..
