JW Voters: Post Election-Day Fallout?
by Room 215 inif i recall, a wt question from readers a year or two ago suggested that voting was a ``matter of consicience.
" i have also heard that this was pubished only ``for public consumption,"" and that the verbal ``network'' emanating from the governing body and proceeding down the pipeline via the district and circuit overseers to the locals was that they should get the word out that nothing had really changed and that voting was actionable by a judicial committee.
so... my questions are: is this all accurate?

Did anyone see Serena Williams on The Tonight Show
by JWinSF inlast night i happened to surf onto the tonight show.
bob newhart was the first guest, the second was serena williams.
as i'd never actually seen her before [not a sports buff] and all i'd heard about her was the various jw postings, i was curious.. first, she came off as totally natural to me.

What Was The 1st Thing That Made You Question?
by minimus inas a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.
but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.
as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.
