by burningbridges inok, i'll start, maybe if we can all tell simon our reason why this site means so much to us he will reconsider and leave it here.

I'll Bet Many Won't Know What To Do Without JWD
by minimus inafter coming here almost every day for years, it will be bewildering to have no jwd.
and the truth is, there are other places that will pop up in the years to come but i doubt very much anything will be of this magnitude in regard to assisting others out of the organization.. i think if any are so inclined, they should make their emails available so as to make further contact with our cyber friends.. well now, i'm sure a lot of lurkers are kicking themselves for not joining here.
too late!

by JK666 inhey, y'all,.
there are three versions of the truth.. your version, my version, and the real truth somewhere in the middle.. why do some have to become so dogmatic?
have they an ax to grind?

Albert Schweitzer and Roland de Vaux: advice needed
by behemot ini'm considering getting from the library albert schweitzer's the quest of the historical jesus.
a critical study of its progress from reimarus to wrede (1906)and roland de vaux's ancient israel volume 1: social institutions (1958) and volume 2: religious institutions (1960).. i'm aware that biblical studies have gone a long way since these two (already classic) works were written, but i was wondering whether they are still worth reading or have become in the meantime completely outdated.. anybody read them?
your advice welcome.. behemot.

I just came from my elder's meeting
by BonaFide injust to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.
so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.
i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

Is It Me Or Are The Males of Today More Feminine and/or Nerdy Than Ever B4?
by minimus inwhen i turn on the tv, i see so many fem men that i'm realizing that a 'manly" man seems to be a relic of the past.. metrosexuals rule the world now.supersensitive males who are in touch with their feminine side are the norm.. the john waynes & burt reynolds have been replaced with ryan seacrest lookalikes.. ladies, do you find these metrosexuals all that attractive?
