The following is a quote:

"Maiduguru,Nigeria ( AP ) Nigerian Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad attacked Christians and burned churches on Saturday, killing at least 15 people in the deadliest confrontation yet in the whirlwind of Muslim anger over the drawings........'" Most of the dead were Christians beaten to death on the streets by the rioters,'" Ezeoke said ( a resident ). Witnesses said three children and a priest were among those killed."

So, why didn't Jesus write anything down?

by poppers in

terry's thread on who is right - jesus or paul, got me to wondering; why didn't jesus write anything down?

surely he would know that the things he said would be written down at some point, and that this would be the beginning of misunderstanding what he was saying.

secondhand accounts of spoken words have a way of changing dramatically from the original words.

You sound like John Lennon. You know, the guy that made millions from the concept of " no possessions . . ." the one with the 4, or was it 5, mansions around the world ?

MUSIC IN WORSHIP

by Raphael in

.

something that always bothered me as a jw was the lack of praise and worship with music at meetings , yeah there were the tapes of dull and uninspiring piano music along with the same songs that noone ever felt enthusiastic about - i actually remeber feeling embarrassed whenever i had invited a bible study or interested person along to a talk and the singing was just pathetic.. singing durring the meetings was never considered a serious act of worship, but an opportunity to visit the bathroom etc.

i also found it sad that those who did have a musical talent could not use that talent in worship - no alternative forms of musical instruments were permitted inside the kh other than the wts piano tapes - no freedom of expression to worship and praise god was ever allowed , it seems that the gb want to rob jw's of the experience of joy in worshipping god.. now that i have experienced worship and praise in a spirit filled church , i can testify just how liberating freedom of expression in worship can be...i recently came across "the psalm drummers" and highly recommend getting the cd.. http://www.psalmdrummers.org/.
