What does this mean?
by MYOHNSEPH ini've noticed that the friends forum on this board gets about twenty-five times the number of posts as forums such as bible research and beliefs, doctrines & practices.
do you think that says something about most of the posters here?
if so, what?

Selective Compassion
by MYOHNSEPH ini dont know how many of you have listened to the audio of mike spence interviewing j.r. brown on the societys policies related to child molesters, but its worth a listen.
i was particularly fascinated with browns comments about allowing someone, who may have previously been convicted of child molestation, to later hold a position of responsibility in the congregation.
as an example of how this might happen, he presented a hypothetical case in which a boy of sixteen has sex with a girl of fourteen, with her consent.

WHENCE MORALITY?
by MYOHNSEPH inlistening to a discussion about perceptions of morality and/or amorality in tactics of war, the question came to mind, what is morality, anyhow?
is the human sense of morality, or peception of morality, evidence of influence from a higher, spiritual source?
a creator, perhaps?

Religious Tolerance & Hypocrisy
by MYOHNSEPH inin looking over the wts website this morning, i was drawn to an article entitled, the edict of nantes a charter for tolerance?
it deals with the edict signed by king henry iv, of france , in 1598, which afforded an unprecedented degree of religious tolerance and freedom of religion for protestants of that time.
while questioning the motive behind the edict, the article seems to extol the virtues and rightness of religious tolerance.
