Fun at the book study
by Zico ini know what you're thinking.
how can you possibly have fun at the book study?
well, it's easy to have fun with the revelation book, it's so full of forced interpretations and massive holes, you can just rip it apart (subtly, of course) it's also much easier to question things in a smaller group.

I could have been a Mormon!
by Zico induring my childhood, my father would often tell stories of his life to me, one of his favourites being the story of how he became a jehovah's witness.
during some travels in the late 70s, he had his first real experience with the bible, when he shared a room with a christian fundy in israel.
the fundy introduced him to many bible topics, such as the king of the north and babylon the great.

'I love you'
by Zico inyesterday, i came to the realisation, that nobody has ever said these words to me, least not that i can remember, which was a temporarily devastating moment for me.
this began with my father.
spotting him in front of the tv in his favourite chair, i walked over and came out with the words 'i love you' it felt very weird, because i think it may be the first time i've ever said these words myself, but i'm going to blame my upbringing on this.
