Matt 22:23-30--no sex for resurrected ones?
by M.J. inthe wts promotes the idea that in the "new system" members of the great crowd, who are not resurrected, will be able to marry and have children.. but what about those that are resurrected?.
does the wts apply matt 22:23-30 to people resurrected on earth?
(the passage is obviously applied to people who were pre-new covenant).

Does the Pope have to apologize to the Muslims?
by free2beme ini heard today that the muslims want the pope to apologize, and at the same time i have heard muslims say that even an apology would not be enough.
a world leader of a country, has certain diplomatic concerns about what they say and do.

banned bands and songs
by aoxo inanybody have the bethal list of banned musicians and songs.
i remember after my sister got baptised she said that the brother who dunked her under told her not to listen to a song, i think it was "new sensation" or something like that which was a popular song for the 80's period.
i remember a lot of songs being banned because of lyrics that had nothing to do with what they thought it had to do with.
