Reparations for slavery: Just or unjust?
by MYOHNSEPH inthere's such a broad range of perception on this board, i'm curious to know what you folks think of this issue.
are contemporary decendents of black slaves in the united states justified in asking for monetary reparation for their ancestors' bondage?

What does this mean?

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.

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.
