To celebrate or not to celebrate
by Dubby ini wonder how much validity is in the wt teaching that it's wrong to celebrate holidays.
did jesus followers in the first century really not get involved in nationalistic activities?
is the celebration of one's nations independence at odds with jesus and the apostle's teachings?.

What Do You Eat For Brakfast?
by Carmel inno attempt her at subtrafuge, just thought i'd kick off a subject with an anology.
when i eat breakfast, i usually have one of three things, something with eggs, something sweet or just the coffee!
how much of what i injest for the start of my day is controlled by the culture i live in and the habits i have come to consider "normal"?

Wierd KH property arrangement
by Simon inmy wife's congregation recently bought some land to build a new kh on it but then signed over the ownership to an offshore company controlled by the wtb&ts.
they were told that it would make it harder to 'grab' when 'the persecution begins'.. has anyone else heard anything like this?.
it sounds like a way of getting real-estate to me and from what i've heard, sounds a bit dodgy.

To Meet or Not to Meet
by Frenchy inthis has been brought up from time to time in other posts relative to other arguments but i thought it deserved its own thread.. the first century christians formed congregations.
there is no debate about this.
that these congregations were not entities unto themsleves is attested to by the travels and subsequent letters of the apostle paul.

Defining Christianity
by Carmel init seems i constantly am confronted with those who are trying to make a "christian" out of me.
in various threads on this forum the term is used as if everyone understands what it means and there is no fuzzy edges.. i wonder if all here assume that only those that follow "jesus" are to be considered "christian"?.
consider that the title "christ" was not the name of the nazarene, only a title!
