... while the road to destruction was broad and spacious and many would follow it.

Has being on R&S had any influence on you in a spiritual way?

... or no one in particular?

then why on earth are we punishing murderers, child molesters, drunk drivers, serial killers and people who take the lives of others? Aren't they doing the will of God as he has determined the victims' fate already?

Please do some research, as there are many.

According to Genesis 2:18 (KJV) God said to Adam: "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." When Adam and Eve disobeyed God told them at Genesis 3:19 (KJV): "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

However, Satan, using a serpent, had this conversation with Eve: "And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die" (Genesis 2:2-4 KJV)

Why do most religions teach what Satan said, that you don't really die but have an immortal soul that lives on? God said just the opposite. Why not believe what God said?

Was he in space? Is space eternal like God? Or was he everything, not meaning everything else, as he was alone, but was there no space since there was no universe. It had not been created yet. Have fun with this, my husband and I debated it for over an hour.

Do you feel your learned anything, changed your opinion about something, just how has interaction on this site changed you or your attitude?

Which one is your favorite and why? How do you like the changes, either words or music, from the songbook Jehovah's Witnesses have been using? Overall thoughts on them?

Directions to the Spiritual Paradise...

When leaving The Worldly Mall Make a turn around and go to Faith Blvd.

Keep straight on Lamp to my Roadway -

There, you must turn onto the Endurance Bridge, which is over troubled water.

When you get off the bridge, do not turn right or left but keep straight -

you are now on Narrow Road.

Keep going for three and a half miles, then exit off onto Virtue Blvd.

From there, make a right turn on Knowledge Lane .

Keep straight and then make another right onto

Self-Control Road. As you go on your way, be aware of the traffic jam on

Temptation Ave.

Do not take the short cut on Sin Street because it is a DEAD END.

You will have to pass up Envy Drive, Hate Avenue, Hypocrisy Street,

Gossiping Lane, and Backbiting Blvd., because these are No Through Streets

and will lead you back to Temptation Ave.

Stay on Self-Control Road because this will turn into Long-Suffering Lane.

You may have to make a brief detour onto

Persecution Blvd if there is construction going on.

If that happens you may have to go through Trials and Tribulations Avenue,

but in any case you will eventually end up on Victory Street.

Victory Street will take you straight into

Spiritual Paradise!

You know when Nisan 14 is - but you forget you own birthday.

You wash windows for a living, but you own five suits.

Most songs you sing have numbers for titles.

You think "www" stands for World Wide Work.

All your lapels have badge holes.

You have 12 servants, but you do your own cooking and cleaning.

You stay in a hotel 200 miles from home, and know all the other guests.

You shave on Saturday mornings.

Every play you've ever seen had actors with fake beards.

You live in the city, and you're allergic to wool, but you're always out looking for sheep.

You manage to feel guilty if you have three unread magazines.

You need two helpers in the back seat to back out of a driveway.

You're more afraid of the dentist than of speaking in public.

You get up early on January 1st.

You have to keep reminding yourself not to pet the lions at the zoo.

You wait till after Thanksgiving to cook a turkey.

"Pioneer" doesn't make you think of log cabins; "Remnant" doesn't remind you of carpet; "RV" doesn't make you think of Winnebago's; "Street work" doesn't remind you of construction; "Witness" doesn't make you think of court; and "Circuit" never reminds you of electricity.....
