Strangers in my personal space!
by SB inhas anyone noticed how elders rarely take the time to get to know you, but then they think you should be comfortable sitting in a room w/three of them, revealing all the "dirty" things you did, which makes you in need of repentance and forgiveness?
it's perverted, really.
i've never gone through this, nor will i. these people teach that jesus is the mediator to jehovah, yet they readily take that place when it comes to collecting details.

WTS Video about alternative civilian service
by BluesBrother inin my young day , it was recognized that you could not do alternatives to military service .
i knew older 'bro's" from the war years who had refused such service .
they joked that they had said in effect to the authorities "of course we want to work on the land, but not if you tell us to do it".

by Aequitus inwhat is the justice in condemning humanity for the apparent sin of eve, transferring the crime of one to another, or the entirety?
where is the justice in exterminating unbelievers (most of whom may simply be unaware of 'the truth')?
people seem to value freedom as an implicit good--how is god's rule not authoritarian?
