A very similar discussion (and very interesting) is found at the thread "Trilogy and Bible?" which has now dropped down to about page 9 in the Forum.

Although I very much agree with most of what has been said, I do think Frodo had a pretty good idea he was going to end badly if he took the Ring. I realize he couldn't "know" but he was a very intuitive fellow. When he agreed to take the Ring from the Shire his comment to Gandalf was "But, this would mean exile, a flight from danger into danger, drawing it after me." Now, Pippin didn't have a clue...but that's another matter entirely.
