what does it matter how we live?
by candidlynuts ini was reading ecclesiastes 1 -3 today(excerpt is from chapter 2)..... and i'm not a bible scholar and dont claim any wisdom... but these scriptures seem to just say you live and you die regardless of who or what you do in life.
its all vanity...... is this the true wisdom of the bible?
that we exsist not by or for any reason.. we just exsist then we die..... end of story?

It matters to others, in that when we think about our society, and the impacts that we have on other people then our choices affect how others live.
Solomon was a selfish, spoiled person, and his writings reflect his self centered viewpoint.

WhoEVER has the right answers? Always a dilema.
by gumby inbelow is a sample of arguments in which neither side seems to be able to prove for a fact which one is correct.
when the time comes in which there is no doubt.....perhaps belief systems will change.. .
if the critics are correct.....one would be forced to re-examine the flood story with it's current accepted dating time.

Or it could prove nothing.
What about glacial core samples? What about the sheer scientific incredulity of something like the flood happening?

Charles Taze Russell and his Roman toga
by Kenneson ini remember reading one time in a religious periodical discussing the watchtower society and its founder, charles taze russell, that as he approached his end he requested that his body be placed in a roman toga.
i found that odd and wondered where they had gotten that tidbit.
this weekend i found the answer in the memorial issue dedicated to charles taze russell in the dec. 1, 1916 watch tower.

Probably because of the verse in Revelation where it speaks of them wearing "white robes". too bad there weren't any palm branches on the train...

I, ROBOT
by Yerusalyim ini took the wife and kids to see i, robot with will smith last night....great movie.
my son is a real issac asimov fan.
he said asimov would have hated the movie, but that he really enjoyed it.. come to think of it, i'd be hard pressed to name a will smith movie i don't like.

We just watched "How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days"
by cruzanheart inthat was one of those movies i was kind of curious about but didn't feel compelled to actually pay money to see, at least not over and above what we pay for direct tv each month.
so we watched it.
and i have a question for members of both sexes: would you be able to trust a partner who starts the relationship with a lie?.

If you have a good relationship who cares what it started on. Live in the NOW!

Rutherford Surrounds Self With Yes Men!
by VM44 in"pursuing my purpose in life, as told by hazel o. burford" w55 11/1, pgs 653-656. in 1941, when working isolated territory in western kentucky, we attended the zone (now circuit) assembly at cape girardeau, missouri.
while preparing the evening meal in the cafeteria i was called to answer a long-distance telephone call offering me the privilege of helping to nurse brother rutherford, then very ill in a hospital in elkhart, indiana.
shocked by news of his illness, overwhelmed by tremendous responsibility i would be expected to shoulder, my first reaction was to refuse; but, ever fearful of refusing an assignment for fear another would not be given, i prayerfully accepted.

CURRENT CO?s refresher course studies ?REVELATION CLIMAX? book!.!.!.!
by yesidid inalso used were the daniel book, the question box from the kingdom ministry from 1972 till now, subjects from the insight volumes and a lot of watchtower articles.
i could hardly believe they would have nerve to bring out the revelation climax book.
but as i thought about it more i wondered if they (gb), in their delusional state, somehow think it supports their claim to power.

I could tell you about how the book is REALLY about some masturbating chick named Revelation, but that might be going too far...

Suicide Prevention
by ApagaLaLuz ini just wanted to drop a quick note.
last thursday a good friend of mine jumped off of a freeway overpass and killed herself.
ironically it was the same overpass that just 5 years before i had stood atop and climbed the fence with similar thoughts in my head when my family had initially disowned me.

This is horrible. I get to talk to a lot of my sister in laws friends who are all teenage girls. The one common thread that most of them share is that they all are depressed to varying degrees. Some of them have acted out on this depression. It is sad that this affects so many and I wish I knew what caused it. I am so very sorry for your loss.
