has absolute power corrupted the elders?
by Jim Dee inthe elders in most congregations have absolute power, even worse they act without a check to make sure their judgments are correct.even in their worse moments they are "untouchable" in their right wing views.. does anyone have examples of elder abuse and misuse of absolute power.
bearing in mind that they have this power, not by holy spirit, raher by the congregation letting them have it.. has absolute power corrupted the elders?.

we were never s'pose to die????
by Julie inout of the many things from the bible i wonder about there was one i thought i would share with you all and see if you may have any interesting insights on this issue.. according to the bible man was suppose to live forever, no sickness, easy childbirth for women, just your basic paradise, right?.
so ok, we all know that because that wretched eve screwed it up for all of us and everything we now have suffering and death.. my problem with all of this is this: what if all the people who had ever lived had never died?
how many of us would there be on the planet?

some persons have suggested that it is one of the largest in the world.

'Time' not a constant in the Universe!
by Outaservice inwhen i was a good old jw, going out in service, counting my time, i noticed something strange.. i could drive to one side of the county, make a back-call, and then drive clear through town as slow as i could and then out of town to the other side of the county to make another back-call.
the total time it took to do this was about 6 minutes!.
if i was not out in service and was trying to rush, say to a movie, it took at least 45 minutes to get through town alone!
