A word of caution
by Socrateswannabe inplease forgive me if you consider this to be presumptuous, i know i am an ultra-newbie here.
but, i see a lot of threads on jwn that read something like, "what is your dog's name" or "where's your favorite vacation spot", "what's your special name for your spouse", etc.
i give the opening posters of these threads the benefit of the doubt that they are creating them simply for entertainment purposes.

How BIG is Big Brother?
by Socrateswannabe inwhen i visit the jw.org website, can the wts it department know that i've also visited this site?
i use a freeware program called ccleaner but i don't use it every time after i've visited here.
i also don't know if my browser (i usually use ie9 or chrome) keeps records of my browsing history, independent of the ones on my pc that ccleaner deletes, that can be accessed by big brother wts.

It's Not What You Know...
by Socrateswannabe in...because most of what people are searching for is unknowable!.
the more i use my brain instead of let the wts do my thinking for me, the more i believe that it's impossible to identify truth.
i think we're capable only of identifying what is not true.

YPA Video vs. World's Deadliest Snake
by Socrateswannabe inalright so the title of this post doesn't seem to make any sense, but give me a paragraph or two and i will try to pull these disparate subjects together.. for those still "in", this week we studied the interviews portion of the "young people ask-what will i do with my life" video.
the comments by these young people are predictable.
they extol the value of prayer, daily bible reading, personal study, meeting attendance, field service, and reaching out for other privileges.

Thanks to all
by Socrateswannabe ini am by nature a reticent soul.
i am perfectly happy to watch from the sidelines as others debate and contest, poke, prod, and cajole one another.
as an observer, i still gain.
