Jesus: DEMI-GOD? In a pagan Roman Empire, it was only natural!
by Terry inwhen you and i were born we started absorbing the beliefs and culture surrounding us.
(the word for this is: ethos.).
as we grew older we absorbed the beliefs and cultures we experienced among our friends.

Service in a foreign country
by FadeToBlack ini am not here on assignment.
we came here (poland) to take care of my wife's mother.. i was often asked when i returned to the us if it was difficult to participate in the preaching work in a foreign country when i was not fluent in the native language.
not at all, i replied.

Maybe it is me ...
by free2beme ini was sitting there in the dark and thinking what shadow looked like what, and what that noise was outside and you know what came to mind.
what a wonderful time to think about demons!.
maybe i am some evil person, but i just can not help but laugh when i read the bible or hear anything from it.

"Waiting on Jehovah" the slum landlord
by Terry inhow many faithful true believer jw's are "waiting on jehovah" to straighten out their religion?.
i know of many.. most of these impatient people are pissed off and squirming.. they have usually been inside the kingdom hall for many, many years and have seen the many stumbles and changes.. and, frankly, they are sick and tired of being sick and tired.. .
"wait on jehovah" has been the only counsel offered to stave off outright rebellions.. .

Being alive
by Nika Bee inhello, i am (almost) new here, and in the beginning i didn't really think that i would ever post something here.
but then.... yesterday i had a little experience, nothing important , people who haven't been in the organisation have probably a hard time to understand why it's even worth talking (writing) about.
but i though if there are people who can relate to it, they are here, and if not this post will just disappear in the internet and no harm was done.. i was walking my friends' dogs in the evening sun, not thinking about anything.

Stupid question from a non-native speaker
by Nika Bee inhello i am relatively new here, and i apologise for my english in advance.. this is a very irrelevant and probably very stupid question: what does the word "borg" mean, or where does it come from?
i understand it's used for the organisation, but i don't get why.. also, where does "kool aid" come from?.
thanks and sorry again!.
