Introduction to Daniel - For Fun and Prophet
by Farkel inintroduction to daniel - for fun and prophet.

Snakes = Married
by SnakesInTheTower init has been over a month and a half since i have even been on the board, and that really only to ask about gps units (got a tom-tom) and mention the new job.
way too busy with life - post jw now 4 years.. of course, the new job has benefits, health insurance, etc.
(including unlimited use of the company car for personal use and the company pays for the unlimited gas for about a $25/week out of my check -- huge benefit) and this has enabled toni and i to finally after a two year engagement, to get married.

Is THIS the best of all POSSIBLE worlds?
by Terry inis this the best of all possible worlds?.
if it isn't, wouldn't that be the best possible proof that a benevolent and all-powerful deity had nothing to do with creating it?.
if a loving and benevolent creator was going to create a world--why make one with a built-in self-destruct mechanism??.

"The Case for Christ"
by Ding inpeople who leave the wts have to decide what to do with jesus and the bible.. for an interesting read defending the bible's accounts of jesus from an evangelical perspective, i recommend lee strobel's 1998 book the case for christ.. strobel is a former atheist who used to be a journalist for the chicago tribune.. he later become a protestant pastor.. no, i don't get any money from sales of the book; in fact, you can probably get a copy free through your local library system.. in order to help you decide whether or not you'd be interested in this book, here are the titles of the chapters:.
part 1: examining the record.
chapter 1: the eyewitness evidence: can the biographies of jesus be trusted?.
