  .. *** w98 3/15 p. 22 par.

  15 living up to christian dedication in freedom ***.

  15if a witness makes decisions on the basis of bible counsel offered by the governing body, he does so of his own volition because his own study of the bible has convinced him that this is the proper course.

  How do you think you will handle your own death? . . . . . [language alert]

  i know it's not the lightest of topics but the current news coverage of the pope's final hours made me wonder if i'd face things as calmly as he is reported to be doing.

  i don't have his faith, or any faith anymore, but i can see how for a true believer that would be a source of strength.. the thing is, a lot of us thought we'd never die.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have all heard the cliche' "what goes around comes around" but do you really believe it?.

  i know this person that for many years has been unkind, devious and vengeful and then over more recent years has had bad luck everywhere they turned around.

  i mean one thing after another.
