Thanks guys for the cool links......really interesting material.
I have always wondered about this kind of thing.....I find it so hard to believe we are the only ones around.....always have found that concept difficult.
Thanks again,

Yes, that is how I see it...I can't see it as reading any other way, either.

The Road Not Taken
by larc infriends,.
we have taken a different road since we left our common heritage, our religion.
so, with that in mind, i am interested in your thoughts on a robert frost poem, the road not taken.

Hi Larc,
I firmly believe after reading this poem and relating it to having been born into the JW faith, that the road less travelled to me, means the road "out" of the WTBTS.
Many are still in that I am sure know fully that the WTBTS is full of flaws; full of discrepancies, and yet choose to stay on a more comfortable road.
The road "out", is the hardest, loneliest, and least travelled by any JW.
Just as a side line, Larc, do you remember Richard Garnett,who wrote the poem "Where Corals Lie"?
If so, I'd love to hear your interpretation.....
I had to do this interpretation in a study once, and have yet to meet anyone who came up with the same interpretation, yet to me it is so obvious......The deeps have music soft and low
When winds awake the airy spry,
It lures me, lures me on to go
And see the land where corals lie. Yes, press my eyelids close, 'tis well;
But far the rapid fancies fly
To rolling worlds of wave and shell,
And all the lands where corals lie.
By mount and steed, by lawn and rill,
When night is deep, and moon is high,
That music seeks and finds me still,
And tells me where the corals lie.
Thy lips are like a sunset glow,
Thy smile is like a morning sky,
Yet leave me, leave me, let me go
And see the land where corals lie.Richard Garnett.

Hi Larc,
Some say the world will end in fire,
From what I've known of desire
Some say in ice.
From what I've known of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
I hold with those who favor fire.I take this stanza to mean that the writer finds passion fiery, and would be happy to die in a passionate state.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hateThe writer is saying that even passions can turn to hate.
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would sufficeThat the passion felt when it once was fire was worth the torment of the cold hatred at its' death. To the writer, it meant no difference.
I tried!!!
