A Goal for Young JWs-The Schwarzman Scholars Program
by fulltimestudent ini post this with my own life in mind.
my experience as a 'faithful' christian 'mindfully' following the witness version of christian ideology, has given me valuable insights into some of the situations i encounter in world history, particularly those situations involving ideology.
i can better understand (i believe) the mind of one of the north korean elite, than most observers.. studying early christianity, last year, i could intimately insert myself into the struggles that tore early christianity apart, both the pragmatic problems involved in the congregation's treatment of those christians who compromised during the attempts by the (roman) state to enforce ideological unity, and the doctrinal struggles, during the early church's slowly evolving view of god the father and his son.. ok, you ask, what has that got to do with the thread's subject of the schwarzman scholars program?

Nowruz Mubarak! Happy Iranian/Persian New Year today!
by fulltimestudent inone of my topics of study this year is the roman/sasanian frontier.
the sasanians were a tribe (best word) that grabbed power from the parthians, who had grabbed power from the seleucids, who had grabbed power in the carve-up of alexander the great's short-lived empire, and who had grabbed power from cyrus the great's descendents, etc.
and, this semester's study topic is mostly about the attempts by the romans to grab power in what is now iraq/iran - an attempt in which they were only partly successfull in increasing their penetration of asia.. and, this morning i received a link to this little reminder (below) of nice new year customs in modern iran.. the human links are great.
