Overeating
by radar init is intersting that the bible does not speak specificly about things like smoking, blood tranfusions, etc, which the watchtower will expell its own members over.. yet the bible does speak specificly about over eatingit even goes on to say that such people will not inherit the kingdom.
yet from my experience in the organisation many witnesses would over-eat(few pleasures left when you got your head in a book all the time) and many were clearly overweight and suffering for it!.
this led to all sorts of health problems for them from back trouble to heart disease, yet i never heard of any being dissfellowshiped on the grounds of gluttony/overeating!!.

I have been Shunned again
by radar ini was reading through the local newspaper the other day, when to my astonishment, i saw a full colour picture of a jw couple.
they had won the valentine of the year competion, run by an international food store.
the picture showed, the happy couple recieving a presentation of a bottle of champaine and some flowers from the store manager.. i shared the article with my wife, and we smiled, because we knew this couple very well, they belonged to our former congregation.

The Ressurection
by radar inif the dead are not to be raised, then let us eat and drink for tomorrow we are to die.. these words raise a challenge to so called christians.. the challenge is this: does your life reflect that you believe in the ressurection?.
the main thinking of being absorbed in a lifestyle of having a good time is this: you are a long time dead.
in other words if your life is taken up with having a good time then your ressurection hope is being forsaken.

A Voice for SJ
by radar ini have been watching john edwards and his tv programme: crossing over.
this man is evidently very sincere in his belief that those that have "passed over" to the other side(spirit life) desire to speak to the "living" who have been left grieving for their loved ones.. this man has demonstrated many times, a remarable ability in revealing knowledge of events and relationships peculiar only to those people he speaks with.. he says he recieves these messages in various forms.. .
i am wondering what sjs take on this is, seeing she claims similar experiences?.

A WalkThrough The garden Final!!!
by radar inthere is a kingdom song entitled: .
"make the truth your own", i began to ask myself:, which one?.
the impetus behind watchtower admonition to give all your time and effort to the kingdom, is that the end is near, "why paint a sinking ship", was an illustration often spoken and re-iterated through the pages of the watchtower.
