Brought up as a J.W. 10 years on and i feel i am lacking 'something' or 'someone' in my life. I am not sure what it is, maybe it is the time of year.

Last night, i found myself singing (excuse the spelling) Kum-by-ahh for my son, not sure what this means, but i remember the children at school singing it in assembly while the 4 J.W's sat with a sister from the congregation and read 'my book of bible stories', this did not stop me learning the hymns!

I am a very spiritual person. I do believe in god. Now i want a little religion back, but no way will i EVER return as a J.W.

Sorry, religious Q's are usually legnthy aren't they?

Any idea's?

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

"Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

(Matthew 5:17-19 [part of the Sermon on the Mount])

Particularly what does Jesus mean in the context of my earlier question:

There are much worse ways to go. Besides, crucifixion in and of itself isn't generally lethal, unless you're left up for a very long time.
