First extract the rafter from your own eye.
by outcast intaken from wol, they do keep me amused,.
we here in the san diego area have many in our territories who are retired military folks.
the brothers are instructing us to (as always) keep very very neutral and try not to get into very "heavy" discussions about this.. we are being told (and our conductor says the society also was saying this yesterday from ny) to just tell the people we are bringing a message of hope, the message of peace.. another brother tells us his radio station was saying for everyone to put their flags out and show support for their country.

There are none so blind, as those who will not see
by outcast inthis was taken from wol, the topic is "why are we lied to?".
it started out mainly as a discussion on relationships, but justifications were inserted on "when" lying was ok,.
this is the short answer to that question about the patriachs evading the truth in those occasions: because they were protecting and furthering kingdom interests and not their own, they were backed up by jehovah.. jehovah reveals truth to whom it is owing... he reserves the right to withhold it from those who have no right to it.. for instance, when the brothers under ban hide printing equipment, literature, or even fugitives from persecution, they decieve and lie to protect them, and jehovah blesses them.

So, okay you 'christians', what does God REALLY
by AGuest ini would exhort you to first ask... and then listen... to the master's voice on the matter, and if you cannot 'hear'... or exercise faith in what you 'hear'... then go to the 'scriptures'.
for indeed, it is 'written'... in the scriptures.
it is not, however, 'written' in the letters, histories, chronologies and gospels.

So Sad....
by StifflersErSlayersBrother inimagine this.. a little child,about 3 or 4, sitting there, looking around.... he leans over and sees his shoe is untied, he looks up at his parent who doesn't seem to care much, almost falling asleep, so he leans over and ties it all by himself for the first time!
he smiles proudly and looks up at his parent and tuggs on their shirt.
the parent looks down with anger and pinches the little boy on the arm real hard.

Do you get it yet?
by Deacon inthere are about 6 billion people that live on this planet today.
it is most intriguing to realize that we are nearly all identical.
our genetic, social, psychological, emotional and spiritual similarities far outweigh our differences.. humans are human whether primitive or industrialized, male or female, african, asian or caucasian, or tall or short.. the paradox is that each of us also feels so unique that we spend the greater part of our lives trying to explain ourselves to each other in the hope that we can be heard or understood, as if no one else could possibly know what it is like to live in our skin.. if we can agree on nothing else, we seem to agree that one of the primary threads that run throughout all of human existence is struggle.
