stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
" (niv) of course, paul had in mind the enslavement to the law of moses.

Count-Down 6: The Risk of Life

anything can happen as our dna unfolds our development into a complete human.
besides all the screwy things that can happen to us outside of our control, we can also make choices (knowing and unknowing) that effectively screw ourselves.. in my own case, my mother was urged by military doctors to abort me because giving birth to me threatened her life.

Count-Down 9: The Meaning of Life
by Amazing ini can recall a number of jw articles talking about the meaning of life - of course that meant doing something the watchtower said would make you happy, like selling magazines door to door .
i love what my oldest son once said: "i don't look for the meaning of life ... rather ... i create my own meaning.
" that is my son.
