  a reminder to all parents.

  i became aware yesterday that my son had an account on myspace.com (without our permission)so i got his user name and password and logged on.

  the site was filled with pictures, videos, surveys and a whole lot more.

  as i clicked on the related sites of my son's friends, i saw that pornographic sites have the abilility to enter kids' sites under the guise of being a friend.

  i will try to make this brief but how can you abbreviate love and kindness?

  this is truly amazing!!!!

  as many you have seen i ran into a small glitch on the forum the last couple of threads, without going into detail and really not necessary as there have been plenty of comments and views on both threads, i was willing to walk away from the forum because this is my nature as paul said in .

  The original sin

  by onacruse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a question i've had for a long time.. according to the biblical account, adam and eve's sin was to eat fruit from the forbidden tree.. now, ordinarily, when we get caught doing something "wrong," we try to hide the "offending" member (the child tries to hide his hand that has the 'stolen' cookie; we hurriedly try to pull our pants back on when mom walks in unexpectedly while we're masturbating, etc.)..

  so, if the "sin" of adam and eve was eating a forbidden fruit, then why wasn't their first impulse to hide their hands?

  or to wipe off their mouths?

  Acts 5:42 (from house to house) OR (in private homes)

  by rassillon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ***i believe i have the correct scripture here but if i don't please correct me.

  i have thought a great deal on this topic since i first read it in one of ray franz books isocf.. he had a section that dealt with the greek term translated "house to house" and compared it to other scriptures which contained the same greek phrase and showed that it was likely that it should be translated "in private homes".. now i know that some will make the point that "house to house" is a valid translation and from what i know (which is very little) cannot disagree.. what i can say though is that from my knowledge about life in this period and this area of the world and from my traveling to ruins of ancient citys i would have to agree with franz that the phrase "in private homes" makes more sense because preaching from "house to house/door to door" at that time period would have been extreemely ineffective.

  preaching in a public square and then returning with interested ones to their "private homes" for further discussion would make more sense if one was to be effective.. from those with a knowledge of the time/place/culture that this scripture applies to, do you agree with me?

  Religion and Insanity

  by JWdaughter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently i have been reading a book, nearly done now, called "under the banner of heaven".

  it is about some fundamental mormons (the ones who practice polygamy andwho are not accepted as lds among regular members of the slc based church.. in this book, while explaining the attempted insanity plea for a fundy lds murderer, they had several psychiatrists (both lds and non lds) explaining insanity.

  the argument i thought was interesting was when the defense brought up his very unorthodox beliefs (they sounded nutty to me-and would be considered so by most lds folks also).
