3Is everything we do choice?
by uriah inwhen you listen to people talking about this and that; a situation they are in, how awful it is etc., i get to thinking, well why don't you change it then.
if you suggest that to them they come up with a lot of excuses as to why they remain as they are.
they may get really angry with you saying 'are you mad?

possible reason for end of BS?
by uriah init occurrd to me that maybe there was some independent thinking going on in the bs.
maybe the gb was afraid of small groups thinking too muchand having them all meet at the kh would put paid to any groups that were becoming a bit liberal.
as is known small bible study or at study groups were not allowed at bethel.

Out of the blue
by uriah ini was thinking the other day about a problem and you know how one thought leads to another and you go off at a tangent and arrive somewhere totally unrelated to what you where thinking about.
well i arrived at a time when i was walking home from work.
i pass by (thankfully) a cemetary and i was looking at all the graves thinking (at the time i was a good dubby but not very active by-the-by)about the ressurection and how i hoped not to die and all the usual programmed stuff when out of the blue a thought, as though injected by some other-worldy means entered my head and said, clear as a bell "what if it's not true".

I know I shouldn't let it but it gets right up my nose
by uriah inwhen i am having a conversation with a family member who is a jw about the jw's and how i wasted the best years of my life following a cult, they come back with .
"yes but being a jw saved you from std's, drugs..." and all the usual stuff jw's are supposed to be protected from.
it seems to me that jw's think that they are the only people in the world who do the right thing and anyone else is up to their neck in crap, doing drugs and other unsplendid things and being a jw 'saved' me from these things as i am bound to have done them if i hadn't have been one.

Is e-watchman trying to ape JW.com
by uriah ini thought i would troll down to e-watchman and ended up at the greasy spoon 'paradise cafe' link then i was re-directed to e-jehovahs-witnesses.com.
now that he has at last got his self righteous come-uppance and been booted out of the brownies it looks like he is trying to be an alternative jw.com, but will fail just as his ramblings have failed him.

So why do we need 'Bible Based Publications' then?
by uriah init may have been mentioned - sorry if it has.
the wt of 15th april 2005, page 5 para 1 says 'hence, the knowledge of jehovah and jesus christ as found in the bible is sufficient to show you how to gain everlasting life.
the bible is a unique book.
