If you ain't a PIONEER, You ain't SH**!!!
by Open mind inmy loyal-dub wife had a wonderful morning knocking on empty homes earlier this week.
last night she confided in me with an observation.
she has noticed what she perceives to be a "pioneer clique" in our congregation.

Bethel Art Dept: Are They More Liberal/Free Thinking?
by Open mind ini recently saw the cover of an new watchtower on "spirituality".
it was very appealing to me visually.
it's got this beautiful woman sitting next to a stream and she's wearing some flowing wrap over her clothes.

Kudos to the Christians/Believers on JWD. (seriously)
by Open mind infirst off i'd like to say that the title of this thread is not tongue-in-cheek.
i remember a thread from ak-jeff a couple months ago where he observed how some posters develop a condescending attitude towards christians and how that made him feel like he didn't really fit in here.
i'm sure that may have come across (unintentionally) in some of my recent threads where i've related my arrival at agnosticism/atheism.

Exercise and meditation. (An unknowing JW compromise?)
by Open mind inas i was participating in some very strenuous aerobic exercise recently, it occurred to me that some of what i experience during exercise has some similarities to what i've been experiencing during meditation.
the similarity is being very aware of my body during exercise.
the difference is that in the meditation i've been trying, after becoming aware of my body, i then move away from awareness of my body.

Feed the Poor or Help the WT? (Mt 25:40 Christ's "Brothers")
by Open mind insome bible passages i can vaguely remember reading as child without the borg blinders on.
this would usually happen after a speaker introduced a single "proof text" verse in a talk and then i'd keep on reading in the bible instead of staying in sync with the borg software download.
(guess i was destined for "apostasy" .

Judicial Committees: What was it like selecting them?
by Open mind inlooking back over the years it's funny to me now how we selected committees for jcs.
it seems like there was always at least one barney fife, gestapo elder who was chomping at the bit to be selected.
rarely would a guy like that get selected.
