I'm very sorry you lost your grandpa. JWs can be very strange about death because they believe that the dead will be resurrected to the earth. Almost as if they shouldn't grieve at all as if that is showing a lack of faith. It's not healthy is it? Loss is always painful and should be acknowledged, no matter what we believe. Take care at this difficult time.

I love watching the space station move across the sky. Here's when and where to spot it. Let's hope it's mobile friendly enough for you. It's fine on my iPad.

Depends what you mean by literature but this site has listings of everything from Joanna Trollope to Anthony Trollope to Dickens. To find out what they all wrote plus anthologies and series of fiction it is invaluable.

RubaDub are you being naughty? You are very cheeky sometimes. I found this book selling site and recently new posters have said they have had problems finding Crisis of Conscience and when they do it is very expensive.
You are not serious about Demunz are you, surely? Just messing with me, right?

Well you don't have to believe in the Easter bunny you just look for shops that sell chocolate, LisaRose. Setting aside belief in God do you feel you have exhausted all avenues of research into evidence for life after death? We arrived here without any need for God didn't we? Why can we not continue evolving? -

Yes it's quite effective, coffee table pop history YouTube version.
Of course the Egyptians believed in the immortal soul before the monotheistic religions came along, that's why they mummified bodies and put food and gold in their tombs for the next life.
Isis, Osiris and Horus were a trinity yes, although more accurately a triad, mother, father and son.
This has not been hidden from everyone Adjustments. What on earth do you mean? I knew this when I researched my project on ancient Egypt at primary school aged 10.
Where have you been?

Many start off with integrity I'm sure but after decades as an elder with all the infighting and stepping on heads how could a person keep their integrity? I can imagine the ones with real integrity would leave or perhaps they would get ill, 'step down' and muddle along as a member of the walking wounded without the ability to now work out what the hell is going on in the organisation they once loved.
