My Journey
by Frenchy ini suppose we all think of ourselves as unique and we are in so many ways.
what i fail to realize, i guess, is that we are far more alike than unique.
every now and then i will reveal some little fear or quirk or dream that i have only to find out that someone else has experienced the same thing!

Writing private letters to the Society.
by spectromize infor anyone who's ever written something of a private nature or asked clarification on certain beliefs have you ever had the unfortunate experience of the elders calling you in the back room or a sheperding call ?.
the reason i bring this out is that newer brothers or sisters don't know that everytime you write the society the society sends a copy of your letter to your local cong.
elders.

Why are people 'Bad' ?
by Caliban inas far as i see it, people are bad / evil (call it what you will) because of two possible things:.
1. they are genetically that way.
they are born like that.. 2. the way they have been brought up has made them that way.. either way, the influences are out of their control.

To wait or not to wait?
by Frenchy inokay, this need not necessarily be controversial but i would like some honest opinions on the matter.
from time to time (in last sundays wt lesson for example) i read in the magazines or hear brothers say this in their talks.
(with some variation) arent we grateful that jehovah has waited this long before loosing armageddon on mankind?

Question for this forum???
by spectromize inhow many here still believe the organization is ahead of any other religion as far as teaching truth from the bible despite some of the wrong teachings that we perhaps have???.
i will be the first to answer in saying, i still believe we are ahead of any other religion for the present but it can change.
only time will tell wether the organization wants to adjust to some of their mistaken chronology and teachings.

The Holy Spirit
by Frenchy inokay, i'm interested in what everybody thinks on this.
i believe that for the most parts all religions start off with a good motive, i.e., to provide a forum that will help people to serve god.
(basically).

Women's lust for a power man but not always????
by spectromize inone of the things that impresses me most about the bible is the bible book of the song of solomon.. it has always been my experience as a man to know that women are attracted to powerful and influential men according to their domain.. .
let me explain, being in the organization ,single sisters are often admonished to make their prize catch an elder or ministerial servant if they are considering marriage.. well unfortunately i have to disagree with that kind of thinking as i have come across outstanding brothers who reflect god's spirit to a great extent without them being appointed in the cong.
as ms or elder.. when looking at the world in general, we see that to a great extent the wordly spirit, as regards our topic of discussion, that beautiful women go for so called highly placed ones in society such as lawyer's, doctor's, or business men...or the affluent.... one of the big mistakes being made here is, true love is often left out for the material advantages to the detriment of some marriages.
