Which way will the Society go because of the Internet?
by be wise ini've only learned the truth about this society over the last 5 months or so, so i'm not sure what the difference is to say - 2 years ago.
do you think the society will now get even more cultish in it's methods of teaching and more heavy handed if they feel things are slipping?
i don't feel i'm being over the top here because i've experienced very heavy handed talks at the assemblies and kingdom hall in the past that are just plain scare tactics but this just makes people ask more questions ??

Just programmable?
by be wise ini just got another mental prodding.
i overheard my mum and dad talking in the hall this morning (its their assembly weekend) and i couldnt believe what i heard.
they were talking rather intensly about how you would never get girls in the world like you do in the truth and started bleating on about how loose those worldly people are.

Can fanatical religious people really be open-minded?
by be wise inthis is the main question really for any religious org.
according to them do it gods way and close your mind to your own logic and reason and that of the worlds (given to us by the very god they believe in).
or be an independent thinker and reason stuff out according to the watchtower satan influences independent thinkers and they warn against it as this is the devils way of doing it.

Stopping smoking - any suggestions?
by be wise inhi, i smoke, not loads, but i would like to stop.
i think i will find it really hard though and was wondering how you stopped if you were a previous smoker.
i also suffer from asthma which obviously doesn't make things any better.

Drugs?
by be wise ini think this is my first debatable topic.
for anyone who has experimented with recreational drugs or who knows about someone who has how do you think they can change you for the better as well as for the worse?
i know a few ways in which they really changed me, i was very shy and never felt compfortable around people until i had my first experience and felt totally unhibited around a room full of people (talking in retrospect) and i never forgot what that felt like - it opened my mind and i learned to become much more confident.

Anyone know where u can post your own music on the web?
by be wise inhi everyone, i'll be finishing my first tracks next week but i'm wondering where i can put them on the web.
i've heard of peoplesound.com but i listened to some of the music there and i was wondering if you know of anywhere better?
it's a mixture of dance and deep electronic music.. the first tune will be called "borg loved", the second "for all fallen angels" dedicated to everyone at jwd,cos you're the best and especially everyone at free minds.. be wise.
