so it has always bothered me to think that there is only one true religion.i've always told this to my mom but she thinks otherwise.

How to say, "I'm sorry".
by DevilsAdvocate_DA inin view of the thoughts for a day or so i believe, not being judgmental, these thoughts may apply.. for all of us:.
"healing touch".
apologizing is an esseniual skill that adults need to master by practicing over and over (so do jehovah's witnesses no matter what state in life he/she is to jehovah and jesus christ).

Where do they sit in your hall?
by ns7 inwhat i find bemusing is, if there are any disfellowshipped ones in your hall they have to sit at the back.
now without getting into the merits/rights/wrongs of whether this should be still acceptable, where do they sit in your hall?
you see i seem to remember that they would sit on the back row, come in quietly just after the song and prayer and leave at the end just as quick.

Biblical Inerrancy
by Francois inis there any denial that at 1 kings 7:23, the value of pi is ascertained as 3.000?.

"It's a conscience matter"
by expatbrit injust had dinner with my wife and a couple of her friends.. one of them was telling me about her sister-in-law, a very nice, kind person who i've met on several occasions.
it seems this sister got a job in an office as a receptionist/secretary.
last christmas (1999) her employer asked her to sign christmas cards for all the clients.
