Interesting Book (Sorry if this is a double-post)
by robhic ini just bought this book -- "the end of faith" by sam harris -- and found myself agreeing with almost every paragraph.
it is about religion as a bad thing -- "religion, terror, and the future of reason" -- and would probably be more for the atheists than anyone still involved in a religion but it does make some good points.
it is about all religions, not jw but it includes all religions in its sights.

Would like opinions, additions and subtractions -- help needed
by robhic ini had seen and saved a little "test" to ask jws about beliefs and their actually being bible-based.
just for an exercise, i took the "eight questions" list and added (where i could find them at "quotes" site) the quotes and cites from the wt publications that seem to say these things.
please look this over and give me a critique of the wt quotes i matched up, feel free to add some that might be better and please supply ones where i couldn't find appropriate quotes.

Question from a recent JW Wake
by robhic ini used to be involved with a woman who was a (not very good) jw.
we hadn't seen each other for a few years and last month her sister called me to inform me she had died.
she had been living in a nursing home for years so this event was not unexpected.

Interesting while reading
by robhic ini am reading the musician sting's autobigraphy "broken music.
" at one point when worried about his ability to financially support his family he found that praying helped.. now, being raised catholic he resorted to catholic prayers and praying techniques.
he found praying the rosary helpful but for an interesting reason.
