Can a staunch Democrat be good friends with a staunch Republican?
by journey-on infor those with strong political views, is it impossible to be really good friends with someone on the other side?
my very best friends either tend to think like me on the political continuum or have no care whatsoever for politics.
those with exceptionally strong leaning toward the other party tend to get mean and nasty in political discussions which invariably deteriorate hopes for a deeper friendship.. what has been your experience?.

Gluttony and Drunkenness
by journey-on ini knew several that got df'd for drunkenness but never anyone for gluttony.
as far as i can remember, in the bible there weren't categories or various levels of sin; and both these are mentioned as sinful.
last i looked, there were an awful lot of very obese witnesses in the congs.

Serpent Seed Doctrine and the Kennites
by journey-on inas some of you know, i'm on a journey.
i am in the process of opening up myself to explore other possibilities and i'm trying to examine other ways of looking at religious and spiritual things.
some i take with a grain of salt, others i reject immediately, some i file away in the margins of my mind to explore later, others i embrace with relish (not the pickle kind).

Interesting Sociology assignment
by journey-on inwhen i was in college (in my 30's because i started late due to jw childhood), my sociology prof gave us an assignment: if you were made the benevolent dictator tomorrow and you could do anything to change things, what and how would you do it.
remember, you are a dictator, a benevolent one, but a dictator nonetheless.
you are allowed to initiate any programs you choose.

Are JWDers focused on the wrong reasons
by journey-on ina couple of weeks ago, i had a discussion with an elder's wife.
every now and then, they call on me with the literature.
they all know i'm ex-jw, but i'm nice, never da'd nor been df'd, and they think there's hope for me.

Investing in friendships on this board
by journey-on ini've been reading the thread about posters you miss hearing from.
some of you sound like you've invested a lot of "heart" in developing a raport with certain posters over a long period of time only to find suddenly they stop posting and your "friendship" has disappeared overnight.
you miss them and wonder what happened to them.. how is that any different from what we experienced when our "friends" at the kh stopped calling or coming by.
