American Legal Eagles Where Are You?
by Englishman intheres been lots of posts recently concerning the american justice system.
to be fair, most of us europeans dont really understand it very well, and we have been giving you yanks a bit of a hard time lately, so i think that it would be great if we could all have some enlightenment on how it works.. for example, in the uk there is one law that applies to every citizen no matter who they are.
in the us, different states seem have different laws.

America Bashing
by TR inwith all of the america bashing going on of late, i thought i'd mention the fact that america stands for freedom, as flawed as our system may be.
you're even free to be critical of the government and it's leaders.
the many men and women who have died defending this country did so to preserve the rights even of people who hate the u.s. there are many different cultures here, so there are many different attempts at creating laws for the land.

We had Bethelite visitors last night
by ozziepost inwe had a lovely meal and conversation, but then the conversation turned to rome, which is a city all of us had visited not too long ago.. we spoke about the sights as you normally do, the vatican, st peters bassilica, the sistene chapel, and so on.
but then i mentioned the catacombs.
i am impressed by the sheer size of the catacombs.

Am I Really Hurting Myself?? Prov. 14:12
by Monica ini've been communicating back and forth with an old friend from my teen years, who is now an elder.
i used to be a jw when i knew him and he was not very spiritual so i was completely surprised at his current status.
(before i get questions on if i am "interested" in this elder, i just want to say that i'm happily married to a super-cool guy and have no intimate feelings for this elder whatsoever.

advice needed--please respond
by lisaBObeesa inthis is a question my df mother would like me to post for her:.
would it be morally right to go back to the jws, even though she doesn't feel it is god's org?
she would do this in order to speak with her life long friends and her youngest daughter, all of whom are quite emotionally distraught due to her dfing.

The Watchtower and the Masons
by ozziepost inthe latest edition of the free in christ ministries journal contains a very interesting article entitled the watchtower and masons.. drawing upon material from the book the watchtower & the masons by fritz springmeier, it gives the following parallels between the things that c t russell believed and those taught by the masons:.
* both believe jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their dogma, and the name of their god.
* both believe god yielded power to a lesser god.
