  Are we an Insane Asylum or God's Hecklers? Alice needs to know.

  i posted this comment to a thread that may have been abandoned by its creator--but maybe she/we can pick it up here.. alice,.

  you said you wouldn't show your "true colors in this insane asylum" when someone told you to come out as yourself.. a montage of unconnected ideas is one characteristic of an insane asylum.

  but this forum at its best is when we do wear our true colors and present our own true thoughts with the aim to comb them out in this forum.. that is not what happens in an insane asylum.. i'll grant you that it gets that way some times, like a mad house, when something like the craziness that we left behind shows up here.

  in february of 2009 i slipped a letter of conscience under the doormat of my former book study conductor who was out of town.

  that letter was written because i could not support a portion of the materials that constantly was featured in wts literature.

  at the time i was a sister in good standing.

  Jesus disses corporation-led religion??

  we were told that the right corporate "doctrine" makes the right group activity.

  but words attributed to jesus at matthew 7 make me wonder if jesus wasn't discouraging that.

  a small sample--.

  writing on a potsherd found over a year ago in qeiyafa near the elah valley has been deciphered by professor gershon galil of the university of haifa.

  it is said to be the oldest known extant inscription in the hebrew language.

  the potsherd was radiocarbon dated to c. 1000 bc which is around the time of king david.
