Why We Come Here... or Go There.... or Don't..

    Greetings to all... and may you have peace!

    The answer is quite simple: we are a 'social' species, albeit some of us prefer socializing a bit more than others. And some QUITE a bit more than others. And people tend to 'socialize' with people who share SOME commonality.

    Our commonality... is... and not necessarily in this order:

    (1) The WTBTS
    (2) Religion
    (3) Christianity
    (4) God
    (5) Jesus
    (6) Family
    (7) Science
    (8) World Events
    (9) Our love of information
    (10) Our love of conversation
    (11) And with regard to all of the above... we might have something to say

    That's its, dear ones. That's why we come here... and go 'there'... again and again and again. And while today, the subjects may bore us, tomorrow, they may intrigue us.

    So, sometimes we 'feel like a nut'... sometimes... we don't. Some days we feel like 'cashews'; on other days, like, well, 'macadamias'. Somedays we feel like having BOTH... and some days, we don't feel like having nuts at all. But there ARE a variety of nuts... and at one time or another, we all feel like one or more them. A lot of times, we feel like having a nut 'mix', and sometimes we just want ice cream and whipped cream... with no nuts at all.

    And that's okay.

    So, please... 'Lighten' up, dear ones (John 8:12)... and treasure your freedom of speech. For not all will welcome it.

    Your servant, and a slave of Christ,

    SJ

    Ain't that the truth.

    I agree that we all have much commonality too. I'm glad to have a place such as this to visit.

    Thanks for your nice thoughts.

    peace,

    I totally agree.

    I think we need to look at what we have in common, and stop trying to tear each other to shreads.

    Otherwise, JWs who come here will have ample proof that "apostates" are bitter and full of hate. Thus they will return back to the Org, thinking that there IS no other place to go. And we wouldn't want that!
