What is the best way to choose our leaders?
by sleepy inwhat is the best way to choose our leaders?
being as there so much disagrement about the suitability of our various presidents and prime ministers of our countries and the policies they pursue i was wondering are there better systems we could use in selecting our leaders than the systems we currently use?
i often wonder if in fact those people who actually want to become a prime minister or president are in fact worst people to do so.

Do born-agains dominate EX-JW's?
by sleepy indo a quick look on the web and you will find most ex-jw or anti-jw sites are made by so called born again christians.
i remember from being a witness that the general view of apostaes was that they had become born again christians.this was probably because so many actually do.
is this having a negative effect or reducing the chances of witness reading information that may help them?

Whats the Biggest JW contradiction?
by sleepy inwhat do you think the biggest contradiction was in jw teaching or logic?
i remember people confronted us with the argument that maybe over thousands of years the bible has changed, we would probably say any changes were minor, and we have the dead sea scrolls etc that don't vary much from the bible today.
yet when asked by people with a little knowledge about the bible why the name jehovah was not in any manuscripts of the new testament, we would effectivly says its because they have been changed over time.
