The nature of the world
Thanks TJ, thanks for your post and safe trip wish. I must say I'm so waoed by how "superstitiously" suspicious Witnesses are of everything. Remember, even the world we live in has a superstitious and violent history, but we're trying to give it an "alternative" meaning; the cloths and shoes we wear may have been produced by slave labour, yet we try to give our use of them an "alternative" essence; if you wear jewelry, their raw material may just be from some of the blood fields in Africa (if you've heard about "blood diamonds"); the greatest invention of recent history, the internet, is used by many for unspeakable immorality, superstitions and evil, yet you're using it for an alternative purpose, even creation is shrouded in superstitions, it just depends on which you choose as "good" or "bad" superstitions...these are the choices the world makes to be convenient for habitation and aspiration...Yet I must say cynical superstitions that Witnesses seem to tag to everything just make me wonder if they would not rather seek another planet that's void of such "superstitions", "pagan" practices; a "sanctimonious" world. I am a liberal and respects everybody's reasoning or belief. I also believe that the world and everything on it is absurd; we simply give the absurdity a logical commonsense, an alternative essence, reason why the world is habitable. This is my viewpoint about religion and spirituality: I believe in God and his only begotten son and in the trinity (however liberal this belief may be) and do not believe in radical and extremist religious doctrine, spirituality matters more to me ("spirituality" to me may be far from what you consider it to be). That said, I would love that you give me simple answers to the following questions:
1-Who is Jesus Christ and what does he represent to you?
2-Do you allow only some bible verses to interpret themselves to you and then you interpret other verses for the bible?
3-What happens to people after they die (sinners and righteous, if any, alike)?
Many Thanks TJ. Forgive my frankness, yet I have to be. I should be very satisfied with a direct and precise response.

My trip to Kekem, and then Jumbe in the Mongo Division was nothing short of an rated R-movie. I left Yaounde on the 2nd of January at 7am and reached Kekem at 3:30pm where I left my niece. I left Kekem 30 minutes later and reached Jumbe only 2 hours 30 minutes later because I took a terrible bus...Luckily for me, my brother had arranged my stuff and started transporting them to the road before I arrived, so I reached and just said hello to a few friends and was again on the road. Though it was difficult for me to get a car for Bafang from where I would get a transit bus to Yaounde, I finally got one at about 8:30pm. Leaving Jumbe at this time and hoping to catch an 11pm bus at Bafang was risky because it was the end of the holiday and consequently so many people would be traveling. Secondly, I had a very big cupboard and food and few drivers would be willing to take me...to spare you the prosaic details, my cupboard and food was transported to Yaounde on a different bus and I followed later at midnight on another. I may not be great at narrating dramatic events, but the journey was quite eventful...still feeling so tired
