In a cold indifferent universe too many people need religion to save them from disappear. I believe We would commit the great folly of starting all over again. New religions with a new and improved afterlife.

Myelaine,
I believe that most people do wish to benefit society and are quite willing to surrender part of themselves to that endeavor. The question is why? My belief is that at it is rooted in the social conditioning we receive mixed with a healthy dose of romanticism.
Terry,
who among us is not part of a collective, who does not buy in to something? Woman want mirage even though it consists of washing, cleaning and caring for others, the everyday grind that drains us. if a wife and mother is not careful to find fulfillment out side of the other, the loss of self can result. How many woman climbed upon a cross for there family only to find themselves alone in the end, looking at their reflection and asking; who am i? what do i want? am i here at all? Chasing ideals, the perfect house or the perfect code of behavior is to chase what others tell us to desire.

What Is the Real World?
by Satanus inthe wt has it's own definition of 'the world', which they claim to not be a part of.
yet, in following trends, such as fear trends, ultraconservative fashion trends, allowing it's members to take in various media, such as popular music, movies, sports, the jws are part of the world.
yet, by wt definition, they are not.. sitting, thinking yesterday about my life, my social contacts, work, play etc.

real world?
That is the place were 2+2=4. in the real world, there are no fairies dancing in the garden, no angles on pins, no gods giving out prizes, no devils making you do things. In the real world St. Anthony will not help you find lost things. In the real world there are no good or bad men, only men and the things that they do. The real world is the place were social constraints and traditions are used to suppress the individual. But still 2+2 is 4

Seems to me "pushed" him may be better stated as "assaulted" him. This is a death the direct result of a crime. It seems much like when a drunk shakes his/her baby not intending to kill it. Or when a kidnaper accidentally kills his/her victim. Murder one.

JW morality: is it from virtue or calculating self interest?
by True North injws love to congratulate themselves for being -- as they see it -- morally superior to "worldly" people.
however, if one does something right to get a reward (eternal life in paradise, status in the congregation) or refrains from doing something wrong to avoid punishment (death at armageddon, disfellowshipping), is that virtue or calculating self interest?
is virtue only what one does and not why?
