Are we actually "people worshipers" at heart?
by The Berean ini find it curious that, no matter how disfunctionally they may have lived, events of well-known people are assigned more weight by the masses than those of solid, ordinary people ... unless, of course, they are accused of wrongdoing.
this principle also seems true when evaluating personal opinions ... we initially believe in the person and only after negative results do we question their judgement.. i suppose the simple answer is that such has been the case since the beginning.
the bible would suggest that eve believed in the snake and in turn adam believed in his mate.

The Hill I die on ...
by The Berean injehovahs witnesses often state or infer that not practicing their form of worship is tantamount to "suicide.
" naturally, many disagree.. medical doctors might make a similar negative prediction concerning those who smoke, are obese, or who consume drugs or alcohol excessively.. question: even were these sources correct, does a human being have the right to select the manner in which they die, or is there a moral obligation to live as long as possible?.

Hackers and Attorneys?
by The Berean ini wonder if there are jw internet hackers working underground at the wtbts to intercept, sanitize, or delete any information which might be damaging to the image of the organization.
also, might i assume that gb attorneys are at the switch ready to threaten any whisleblowers with law-suits in order to discourage sharing of potential negative evidence?.
has anyone experienced such supression?.

If I Were Satan ...
by The Berean inif i were satan, would i appear at times square in a black cloak wielding a pitchfiork while demanding worship?
after 9/11 how well would that work?.
if i were satan wishing to build an earthly oragnization would i appear in a cold cloud of ectoplasm or burst forth from a young child's chest in alien fashion?

Susan Boyle, a study in human potential ..
by The Berean inscottish sensation susan boyle is scheduled to perform this evening in the semi-finals of "britains got talent.".
her emergence should be of great interest to those around the globe who are transitioning from backgrounds of social suppression and low expectation as to the potential for greatness.. we have learned that susan is "different.
" she doesn't match the "profile" for greatness.
