if god is like a loving father why did he set up a way for adam and eve to possibly fail by putting the "magic tree" in the garden?
if my dad sabotaged his kids this way or felt the need to test our love him he'd be considered an abusive father.. when god put an angel with a spinning sword in front of the entrance to the garden why didn't a&e walk a few miles down from there and climb over the wall ?
was there a wall ?.

reading the post "how long did it take you to leave", i can't help but be envious of those of you who refer to leaving as a "we" event.. i know it has been said that women tend to react to feelings/emotions along with logic, can you help me with ideas that got you to feel something was wrong?

what do you do when you know that someone has spoiled the only life that person will ever have, yet you can't reach to them?.
They have made their choice to stick with the WT in spite of it's flaws and the cognitive dissonance they have to put up with.
They are under mind control, they never get to have a choice.
this is an excerpt from the final talk of the day, "remain in the secret place of the most high".
i looked around as this explanation was being offered up, and the looks on the faces of people there was mostly disinterest.

what's the latest from the wts on these 2 subjects?.
I think they would like to pin the tail on Islam but are afraid of some wack job with a packed vest walking into the lobby at 124 Columbia Hgts..
That' a funny statement, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were true.
i keep staring at the bookshelf full of wt literature in my house and keep having visions of a red-orange glow as the flames crawl higher and higher.
