A few things I don't understand about the bible
by Leander inthere have always been things about the bible that never really made much sense to me.
not to say that i disagree with whats in the bible but i have wondered about the fairness of certain things.. 1. for example i've always even as a child thought that it was odd that so many people would die during armageddon.
now as an adult and i understand people better than i did years ago i really do feel puzzled about the fact that according to the scriptures the majority of mankind will perish.

Its the Whole Premise that Gets Me
by pettygrudger in#1 - original sin: supposedly all this stuff is going on because adam/eve "ate the fruit" (type of fruit still under question).
because of this, god let billions & billions of people, "his children", suffer imperfection, pestilence, plague, wars,death, etc.
& let his "true followers" throughout bible history be persecuted because of this "original sin".

Overweight JWs -- on the increase?
by Seeker inyes, i know, the title is a pun.
it was deliberate.. i can recall in the 1970s seeing very few overweight jws.
in fact, i used to think (in my arrogant jw manner) that this was a sign of how jws were better at self-control than worldly people.

Mailing Postcards as Aposed to Letters?
by Winston ini have recently sent out about 60 postcards($.25 each) to the jw's notifying them of the wtbs being a ngo of the un.. the entire postcard was used up, with some of the information in bold print, and underlined points made to stand out.. included were the un internet site address,telephone #, for verification and breif explanation of what is required of a ngo.. granted there is not very much room for information, but it may have a pluss side to it, because jw's are instructed to not open and read apostate material, they may be more likely to read some thing they don't have to open, and more than one family member may read it?.
some of the postcards i put my return address and some just my initials(depending of past mailings responses).
i figured just putting my intials on some, may cause them out of curiousity to read it to see if they can figure out who sent it.. any observations, or pointers?
