Why cannot some people say the words..."I love you".
by gumby inno.....i'm not gittin all mushy and stuff.......but i want to know why.. during a visit with my sis, we discussed how some have trouble expressing affection with love to the ones closest to them such as spouses, parents, or children.
about a week or so later, i talk to a friend i used to work with and he's telling me of how he and his wife are like strangers.
i asked him if he made her feel loved.

Luke's great omission
by peacefulpete inin looking at a harmony of the synoptic gospels it becomes quite visible that luke generally follows mark's gospel as his primary source yet tweeking and adjusting when he felt necessary and supplimenting mark with q material.
however luke seems to have deliberately omitted the whole section from mark 6:45 - 8:10. it has been argued that this section of mark was not in the copy that luke used as his source.
there are other resons to believe that in fact it is true that this section was by a later hand than the bulk of the text.

YESTERDAY'S ASSEMBLY SUCKED........
by Mary inwell, i got dragged, kicking and screaming talked in to going to the assembly yesterday as a friend of mine was in the drama.
what a freaking waste of time interesting experience.
first of all, i had a tough time squeezing my larger than life ass bum into a seat that looked like it was made for a house-elf small child.

Demonized Software...
by Agent 1 of 1 inhow does the society view software or media that seems to be from the devil?
if i'm watching a satanic ritual file downloaded from a web site, is that file demonized?
if the original file is possessed and gets duplicated, are all the other duplicated files possessed as well?

Leave it in Gods hands
by ball. ini just read in a post by sandy that a witness used this statement: "leave it in gods hands", and i just realised that witnesses say this all the time.
but what complete crap it is!
what if we all walked round saying that about everything, never take responsibility for anything.

If The Bible Is Truly The Word Of God...
by exjdub inwhy would he leave so many loose ends?
believe me, despite some of my comments about religion and my feelings about the bible, i do examine myself and my thinking process all of the time.
i really do think deeply about my life and the lives of my family, and i really try to examine how i feel.

Where is the MONEY REALLY GOING? -- Special Assembly Days, etc
by EyeDrEvil ini have always wondered why it cost so much to "rent" the space used for local special assembly days and circuit assemblies.... in our case, the society built a large assembly hall, on donated farm land (= free), in the middle of some corn fields 20 miles outside of columbus, ohio... the property has a couple of apartments where some of the travelling overseers live, who help with the upkeep of the building.
cleaning the building was taken care of because of our "privilege" to go out the day before the assembly to get it in good shape (free housekeeping and maintenance work).. so, the society owns the building.
it was built on free land.

I Threw Out My NWT Today.... I am officially a cult free household.
by shamus indid you throw your trash out?
how long did you keep it?
stupidly, i felt awful about fading, and went through my huge collection of bound crap, making sure that my name was nowhere on the cult material, and dropped off three large boxes at the kingdumb hall one night.
