Lack of brotherly love at the DC
by noidea ini sat at the dc today (yawn!
) trying to keep myself entertained i looked around and was wondering to myself how many that were there today were lurkers, trolls & fred halls.

Special Local Needs Part -- Re: Dateline
by NotBlind inby means of a phone conversation with my sister this morning, i have learned that a congregation very near to bill bowen, the m__w__ congregation, gave a local needs service meeting part last night on the subject of "protecting your children from pedophiles".. although i wasn't there, here's what my sister said was included in the talk:.
1. when a man is a pedophile, he won't ever be a ms or elder again.. 2. wt doesn't shield offenders from 'caesar's laws'.
note: never said that they turn them in to the authorities, just that they don't 'shield them'.

Is Hatred Really Just "Loving Less"?
by TMS inthe bible says the jacob hated leah, the gal he was tricked into marrying after seven years of hard work at minimum wage.
for many years watchtower publications have tried to take the sting out of jacob's disdain for wife #1 by saying that he really didn't hate leah, just "loved her less".. i think he hated her.. its not that hard to understand.
if a man works seven long years, each night going to sleep with visions of a certain bright-eyed girl and then gets stuck with her dull-eyed plain sister, resentment could build.
