The Creator's Creator...
by dorayakii ini have several ways of stating and demonstrating what is essentially the same point.... 1. jws often deflected the question, "what is the purpose of life?
", by stating that our purpose it is to serve the creator... but, what is the purpose of the creator himself?
must we not apply the same criteria to the creator as we do to ourselves?

Historical Linguistics
by dorayakii ini just thought it would be interesting to give a bit of background on philology (the study of ancient linguistic texts) historico-linguistics (the study of the history and development of languages) and etymology (the history of individual words).
by analysing different languages, linguists were able to work out that many languages had a common root.
for instance, it was obvious that english, dutch, german, danish and swedish for example, are from a common root, because certain words closely resemble each other.. english drink.

Was Adam's "fall" part of God's plan?
by dorayakii inthe watchtower society and many other fundamentalist christian faiths believe that god is omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent.
in other words he is almighty /all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good.
his omnibenelovence though, clashes with his omnipotence in that if he is powerful enough to change the human condition, and he is willing to do it, why does he permit suffering?...

Why the British and Japanese drive on the left...
by dorayakii init is a common misconception that driving on the left-hand side of the road is the "wrong" way.
a comment by a poster on another thread reminded me of something i've read.james_woods: the jaguar xke...and driving it on the wrong side of the road (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/106004/1.ashx ).
this is a melange of several articles and my own comments, that explain the reasons for the difference in driving customs... .

Diet and lifestyle change
by dorayakii ini've recently made a diet and lifestyle change as part of a new years resolution of sorts.
i'm just going to give myself some incentive to stick with it by listing it here for all on jwd to see.
the reason why i've started this is that, although i'm not fat, i noticed that in the last couple of years i've lost my bottom abs.
