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.

Insanity recalled
by Gig ini was just sitting here trying to decide whether to be optimistic or pessimistic today, think i'll go with the latter.
i remember a study i had with a couple of elders, at one point, as if surprised at my recollection and question, i asked if they could better explain to me the un membership because all i could make of it was a tremendous contradiction.
this was awhile back so they said they would look into it and hopefully could offer something helpful at our next meeting.
