by corpusdei inas a southerner, being married to one of them damn yankees has good points and bad points.

All alone in the night
by corpusdei inhumanity is a very lonely species.
we aren't unique in our ability to experience loneliness, by any means, there are many animals the world over that form and depend on groups for security and community.
what sets us apart, the fundamental irony that makes us so alone is the scope of our capacity for loneliness.

Idle question about Abraham and Human Sacrifice
by corpusdei ini don't have my usual resources in front of me, so i can't fact check this, but there's been something bothering me.
one of the things mentioned quite often as evidence of the wickedness and evil practices of the false religion that surrounded ancient israel is the practice of child sacrifice (baal and molech being the frontrunners as i recall).
but ...... didn't god tell abraham to kill his own son isaac as a human sacrifice?

Hypocricy of JW stance on shunning those disfellowshipped from the congregation?
by corpusdei ini was doing some research on an tangentally related topic when i came across this gem, from the 7/1/1986 watchtower, in a paragraph discussing the cost of integrity:.
certainly when a person becomes a christian witness of jehovah, he suddenly finds out who are his true friends.
some will perhaps shun or boycott him because he has abandoned his former religion, even though they themselves do not practice any religion properly.

I'm sorry I knocked on your door
by corpusdei inthey say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
nowhere is that more evident, i think, than in the kingdom hall.
like so many others that i knew, i thought the watchtower society had it right, that their answers were the correct ones.
