  Pittsburgh High School Stabbings by a Student... 20 Stabbed

  gun rights advocates must be really disturbed today that the guy didn't just get an easily-available gun and get the job done right.. rub a dub.

  I visited my g'daughter's high school day before yesterday.

  The stuff I heard the kids talking about as I walked down the corridor!

  I wish I had some answers, but I don't.

  We have control over ourselves only to a certain degree.

  For example, we can do nothing to alter the aging/dying process.

  So, I would say that free will is relative.

  REMEMBER THOSE IN NURSING HOMES

  when i saw this article's title in the latest kingdom ministry - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/278822/1/june-2014-kingdom-ministry-km-06-2014-pdf - i was delighted!!.

  i thought, "at last, we are all being encouraged to visit our poor brothers & sisters in nursing homes, who feel abandoned!.

  nope, that's not it - it's all about targetting non-witnesses in those establishments, and get them to sign up for "bible" studies.

  It's about keeping everyone busy and believing they are doing something special.

  Busy people don't question or cause problems for the organization.

  It's an old South plantation mentality, I tell you.

  So, you would prefer being an automaton?

  Or, simply not being?

  Exactly!

  We can choose to die - even before our time expires.

  Would you like to NOT have that freedom?
