For the most part the Watchtower and Awake! magazines stick to selling their views and managing the members of the Jehovah’s Witness community. Every once and awhile, however, they decide to take a pot shot at the nonbeliever. The latest Watchtower magazine in it’s article “Is It Possible to Build Faith in a [...]

Why Do Americans Fail To Understand Science?
This morning I was listening to the Minnesota Public Radio Midmorning podcast. In particular, I was listening to a discussion of the topic “New polls indicates a dim view of U.S. scientific achievement” (listen to it here). The short of it is, there is a new poll that found (surprise!) the vast majority [...]
The Long Dark Night of the Soul
I’ve been trying to sleep for the last hour and a half. It’s about 3:30 in the morning. I fell asleep around 8:30 tonight, according to Esther. I don’t remember, precisely.
I got a letter from my grandmother today wondering if I was OK. She hasn’t heard from me in a while and she is [...]

Therapy and Meditation
In early 1995, shortly after my wife had beaten cancer and my mother had given birth to my baby sister Jasmine, I was feeling as if I were at my wits end from stress. I bottled up anger, bitterness, sadness, and even joy just so I could maintain a calm demeanor in the middle [...]
RyanSutter.Net’s 700th Post!
This morning I tried riding my bike to the bus and taking it with me for the first time using the bike rack on the front of the bus. Two things to note: 1) I’m a moron for not doing this sooner and 2) I have no idea what the damn combination is to [...]
7 Years
WARNING: Naval-gazing post ahead…
The last few days I have been going through all my blog entries here at RyanSutter.net, beginning at the beginning with my first post in 2001. Apparently March 27 marked the 7 year anniversary of my online journaling but I hadn’t thought to commemorate the anniversary. Today I will do [...]
