Thank you Saddam
by Gig ini've never heard even the first good thing about the leader of iraq but i've got to thank him.
his highly publicised idiocy helped me to talk to my jw friend.
i got the idea after i watched him try to turn his whole mess into a religious matter, a holy war, then when he accused the un of spying i figured it was worth a shot.

The bigger the better
by Gig init seems there's alot of speculation about what may be introduced at the upcoming international conventions.
given that the wts depends on speculation, i would expect jw's are even more excited than normal...if i can use that word.
anyway, my thought is...let fly!

The single question of simplicity
by Gig inhaving made the somewhat selfish decision to minimize my wts research, it has been necessary for me to attempt several generalizations and summaries for the sake of personal closure.
this investigative process consumed approximately two of my years and i'm approaching my oh-so-sought-after final statement, for my own finality and for anyone who may also have interest.
because i consider many of you my friends i felt it appropriate to ask your opinion and comment.

Damage control
by Gig ini could spend many of your minutes describing how helpful this forum has been for me, suffice it to say that it's the way things should be...offer an idea and everybody else have opportunity to put it on the table too, pro or con.
my opinion is that jw's haven't realized (or have been denied) the benefits of such an appropriate arrangement that also provides the best method for discovery and growth.. my offering today is prompted by what i've found to be a recurring theme here...one that never fails to bother me.
as many witnesses "get out", too often (for me) they along with now rejecting the wts, reject many of the good things the wts tried, however horribly, to represent.

'Puter wizards...how can you tell?
by Gig ini suspect i'm getting e-mails from someone i know but from a different e-addy.
is there any way to figure out if a message from msn hotmail is coming from the same computer as a yahoo e-addy?.
make it simple, if i were computer savvy, i wouldn't have to ask.

Am I oversimplifying?
by Gig ini'm fairly new here but regularly i read posts that recognize the significant lack of love among jw's.
would i be speaking too simply to say that since god is love... they just haven't truly accepted him into their hearts rendering them incapable of exibiting pure christian love in their lives?.
love isn't something we do for him, it's something he does through us.
