It is turning into two separate religions - one for public consumption and the other for internal followers. The internal piece has not changed.

Why is the set in Brooklyn Heights and all that property is up for sale? That makes little sense.

The article made me very uncomfortable. What I initially expressed, and restated by Flipper, was my understanding that this is more than wet dream. I have had many less than saintly thoughts, but I never thought that I needed help. The number afflicted seems higher that I realized, and as we know not all people are able to keep their demons at bay. Feeling sorry for these people is an emotion that I have little interest in; however, I don’t suggest I have an answer.

The New York Times has this Op-Ed piece in today's paper:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html?ref=opinion
I found it rather disturbing. If you take at face value what is suggested, I can see how organizations like the Watchtower become a popular hiding spot for pedophiles.

Even as a diehard JW the whole discussion of Gog of Megog bored me silly.
I never understood what we believed, so I guess a change is not that tramatic.

Starting January 2015 a new part on the service meeting entitled “How Do You Know The Truth” will replace local needs, in which approved members of the congregation will be invited to share their experiences
Even if that is successful, it is self limiting. You can find maybe 4 or 5 interesting experiences. What are you going to do after that?

Kennedy assassination....
by new hope and happiness into me its a great example of a totalitarian government's ability to manage information and keep us in the dark; .
all right it was a long time ago.
should we just forget about it?.

After reading all of Robert Caro's books about L. B. Johnson I am convinced that Johnson had the means, ability, and desire to do away with Kennedy.
Do I think Johnson was behind this - No!
Despite Johnson's desire to become president I think he was a victim of circumstances.
Again, this is my opinion. I was only 6 years old when Kennedy got shot so don't blame me.
Johnson was a despicable man but he was also lucky.

What makes people so greedy/jealous/unthankful
by hoser inthe owner of the company that i work for was talking to me today about his brother who chose a different line of business and makes more money than him.
he seems to be upset about his choice of work.
but when when i look around this guys yard he has done very well for himself but apparantly not as well as his brother.

A good quality of character = ambition
bad = greed
Fine line between the two.
Well said. I am all for ambition, but very anti greed.
