I just do not understand........
by WildHorses inmaybe it's just me but, why is it that "christians" seem to be the most judgmental, unforgiving, hard hearted people?.
all my life for some reason or other, i have believed in god and jesus, but throughout history, and even in our time.
the cruelest acts have been done in the name of god.. i see "christians" claim they have love of their fellow man, but their actions (and words) are to the contrary.

Taliban not original--Moses 1st
by patio34 inhope you're having a swell evening.
there are two christian young women from the u.s. who are imprisoned in afghanistan for trying to make converts.
of course, it seems astonishing to folks here in the u.s.. it seems things have come full circle, because in the law of moses if someone came to you talking about another god besides jehovah, even your 'wife lying in your bosom,' you were to report them.

by Introspection inok.. for those of you who may not know me from previous posts, all i can say is this is unusual for me and please do not judge me as a person for it.

Beth Sarim Revisited 4 Newbies
by Farkel inat 4440 braeburn road, san diego, ca., in the rich and prestigious neighborhood of the kensington heights neighborhood sits one of the biggest embarrassments in the long and continuing list of embarrassments the watchtower society has created for itself.. most dubs know nothing about it, and if it wasnt for a few brief comments about it in the proclaimers book in 1993, even fewer dubs would know anything at all about it.. it is the home once known as beth-sarim (pronounced beth-sareeeem), the house of the princes.. it is a house with a history the society has shown by its historical lack of candor, hopes everyone would forget.
in fact, the society has done just about everything it could do to ensure that its history will be forgotten.
in the first book devoted to discussing the history of jehovahs witnesses, this house and its history is not even mentioned.
