  It ought to be mindful, not mindless. Spiritual drowsiness is deadly, especially when one of Satan's governments is on the alert.

  "in order to avoid misunderstandings, jehovahs witnesses try to be careful about how they express themselves.

  instead of saying, "the society teaches," many witnesses prefer to use such expressions as, "the bible says" or, "i understand the bible to teach.

  Truth is quite the challenge with the God of Lies still ruling over the earth in general in opposition to the God of Truth. The air is thick with lies these lies; but soo, not anymore.

  the NWT on Heb 1:8 reads this way:- "But with reference to the Son: "God is your throne forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is the sceter of uprightness".

  The latest piece on this case seems to be at http://www.eurweb.com/story/eur54370.cfm. Perhaps the court is seeing a lack of whole-souled devotion. They mention that she "loves to read Jane Austen and John Grisham", rather than the NWT and other WTS publications.

  I suggest that if Dub A knocks on Dub B's door, then Dub B's the householder. But, if Dub A knocks on my door and I'm on JWN, I'm the householder that Dub A "didn't catch home". Also, learning is one level, teaching is learning all over again.

  It's simple, with Childlike faith. Saying "My Lord and my God" might be like saying "My Lord, Wow!", or perhaps "You really are Jesus the Son of God, amazing!" Couldn't "my God" or "oh my God" be used just like it is nowadays?

  I wouldn't want to drink water with even a little poison purposely in it. I see blood (that's not my own) the same way now.

  By the way, I do look for useful style. When the threads are serious and I have wanted to keep track of things that I've taken perhaps an hour or two to think out, then I have found it useful to have posts like what you refer to, that start off "Spike Tassel (Post …)". Now that I see that others are bothered by it, I find that marking my posts in that fashion is detracting from getting my points across. I'm adaptable, within reason. At least, that's what I aim for.

  I've missed the obvious. Why not say, The Society Teaches"? Because It's Still Learning.
