Re: "You wouldn't understand it unless you...
by Simon ini remember at a book study the conductor saying something about ho simple everything was and that anyone of us could easily talk for a minute about our beliefs.. everybody froze of course and was hoping he wouldn't pick them.. no one could or wanted to do it even amongst each other !.
it's a sad indictment of the 'faith' isn't it.
i have a theory that 90% of jw's could not tell you what the current beliefs were.

How much of our brain do we use ?
by Simon ini'm sure most of us will have heard talks where they quote that "we only use 5-10% of our brains" and this is somehow proof that we were really meant to live for ever, having unused brain capacity etc... or is because we are imperfect.. now, instead of it being an observation about humankind, what if it is actually just an admission about jws in general or the gb in particular?.
now i can believe that they only use 5-10%!
(although some may put that figure lower...

Who's decision is it to want 'heaven'
by Simon injust a thought.... the 144,000 with the heavenly hope were sealed in 1935 (ok, they don't push the idea openly but it's still the party line).. everyone else has an earthly hope.. just because you have a heavenly hope doesn't mean that you can't 'fall away'.
why, look at that 'no good' ray franz.... so, someone has to take their place.. now, does god make someone want a heavenly hope or does he pick someone who wanted to have a heavenly hope but was going to be disappointed.. who's choice is it...do individuals have free will over what they want.

We're back...we made it !
by Simon inyo y'all.... well, our holiday has come to an end...we had a long flight back from sunny calgary to dismal, raining, gloomy manchester and the kids were terrific on the plane again (night flight to they slept most of the time).. the country was incredibly beautiful, the people were very friendly and helpful and we all had a great time.
it is not good to be back!.
it was really good being able to spend so much time with my dad and meet relatives (nieces, nephews, brother-in-laws) for the first time.
