WTS law and oral law
by lurk inhas the wts commited the same folly as the writers of the oral law?
in a magazine some years ago there was an article on the oral law.
it discribed how the oral law was developed to be like a fence around the writen law to prevent ppl from breaking the writen law.the article showed how the priests, who invented the law ,were laying a burden on jehovahs ppl that the didnt need ,sort of saying how wrong and misdirected the priests were.

OK this not sleeping thing has got to stop
by Lady Lee inwell it's not that i'm not sleeping - i am - just only 2-3 hours at a time.. when i try to stay awake i start feeling nauseous from the lack of sllep and have to go lie down.
then sleep for a couple of hours then the pain in my feet starts up and i am awake.. i just spent the second whole night this week wide awake.

Greetings ....
by ikthuce4u inmy real name is "rick" and i'm new here.
i normally post at beliefnet.com and was referred here (from there) to a particular thread, on a topic i was interested in.
i'm having some posting-problems here ... basically, i'm unable to get into "chat" and tried to send a message to someone who had been posting on that topic i was interested in (but it didn't "go" for some reason).

So How Good Was Roy Orbison Then?
by Englishman ini've got loads of his stuff.. i particularly liked him when he was playing with the travelling wilburys.
tom petty, george harrison & bob dylan along with orbison, jamming in a warehouse while singing "handle with care".. yet..i always had this sneaky feeling that he was struggling to stay in tune and that his golden voice covered over the glitches.. i recently downloaded him singing "bridge over troubled water" accompanied by the mavericks.
it's very much orbison as he employs his remarkable timbre to cover the difficult notes, but this time it doesn't come off at all well.. btw, i can only sing in tune after 4 or 5 pints and then i have a sneaking suspicion that my voice stays the same but that my ears become less fussy.. whaddyathink?.

JWs gladly benefit from war yet refuse to honour the dead
by catlady inas i learn more about the borg i am continually shocked by what i discover.
i knew early on that they were pacifists but i had no idea that this included not honouring (or dishonouring) those that have died under war conditions.
i find it so hypocritical that the dubs are quite happy to benefit from the principles (ie freedom, liberty, justice, etc) that these men & women fought for & yet refuse to pay tribute to them.
