....So do you believe ANY of the Bible is true?
by themonster123 ini saw the movie "300" last night-i just got to thinking- because in that movie, xerxes, the king of persia is part of the story.
and from my bible reading in the past, i know xerxes was mentioned.....and other historical people who were actual people....stuff like noah's ark is easily discredited, but do you think everything in the bible never happened or some did?
is it possible some stuff happened and some stuff didn't?.

If you had to, what religion would you choose to be?
by Crumpet inyou can answer this as seriously (lt) or as inanely (buttlight) as you like!
i was reflecting having read someone's thread about blowing off non jw family that actually it would have been so much better if i had a larger family, preferably not completely jw saturated and this random train of thought led me to thinking that if i could choose i would be catholic, because then i would have a huge family, go to really nice gothic churches with lots of candles and tortured saints and be able to go to confession (instead of lt's mobile).
also the colours of the whore of babylon always were a lot more enticing to me than the mild blues and undistracting beiges of the khs.. i think we all have religions which would suit our personalities so much better.

Change the past (Short Story)
by free2beme inallen parker was a well known professor, looked up to by all those in his field of study, so when he spoke about something people tended to listen.
so when he stood in front of the group and began to lay out his plan, all of those in attendance listened attentively.. "what i am proposing to do, is to pin point a time in history in which we could make things better for the present time.
show life in the way you dream it to be.

my field trip to Bethel
by themonster123 ina few years ago, when i was an active witness, i went all the way from california to the east coast for vacation to visit my witness friend.
her family took me to bethel (one of the many things we did)...seriously, what was the big deal i've been hearing about my whole life how ," oh bethel is so great!
" when i finally saw it when i was 18, it was like walking through a building with a bunch of walls with pictures of paradise on the walls and watching random people do printing press stuff.

My Field Trip to Bethel
by themonster123 inso...for all on here who know, it's every young witnesses hope one day to visit bethel (esp if you live on the west coast like me), so when i went to visit my friend on the east coast a few years ago, her family took me to see bethel (i was an active witness, mind you).
all my life, it seems like i would hear everyone talk about how great bethel is and "you have to visit there-it's amazing", but i visited brooklyn bethel and patterson and walkhill.
every time i talked about my vacation to nyc to various people, the highlight i would mention to them was that i got to see conan o'brien live!!!
