by seattleniceguy inthe standard christian story on the bible is that god wrote it to let us humans know what's going on, lay down some rules, and tell us how to get saved from our pitiful state.
as everyone knows, i don't buy any portion of this.
but i have a question for the believers.

Corporate accountability in Japan: Matsushita sends mail to every Japanese
by seattleniceguy inhttp://www.physorg.com/news9891.html
my girlfriend's brother, who works at the company, was part of a team that personally visited the homes of people who were known (through registration/warranty records, etc) to have puchased one of the bad models.
design mistakes sometimes happen - i applaud matsushita's determination to take responsibility and use whatever means necessary to get them out of homes.. sng.

2005 JWD Annual Report
by seattleniceguy inwell, 2005 is drawing to a close, and that means its time for another edition of sng's annual report.. i have quite arbitrarily decided that our jwd year ends on december 15, and using the member directory, i have extracted a few statistics.
this past year, 4973 new members signed up for a new total of 21081 members, or a 30.9% increase.
our increase of 4973 breaks down to about 414 new members per month, or (using the society's published average of 65 publishers per congregation) approximately 6.4 congregations a month!

Worksheet for JWs with doubts
by seattleniceguy inbeing a witness involves accepting what you might call a "pyramid of belief.
" witness doctrines are based on their interpretation of the bible, which is in turn based on the belief that the bible represents the word of god, which is in turn based on the belief that there is a god that communicates with humans, which is in turn based on the belief that the universe was intentionally constructed by an intelligent being.
the jw belief system is thus the very top block on the pyramid of beliefs.. witnesses are not in the habit of considering their beliefs in this way, so it can be eye-opening to take a look at what you honestly believe at each level of the pyramid.
