Let cut JWs some slack on Christ's status. They might be right.
by Spectrum inthe alternative light i have received regarding early christianity has made me wonder whether jws have unwittingly got it right regarding the status of jesus.
a lot of strong criticism is made on this forum about jws sidelining of jesus in preference for jehovah the jewish god.
they have been equated with judaism because of their lack of inclusion of christ in their worship as well as their draconian code of expected conduct.

Michael Michael who the heck is Michael?
by PopeOfEruke inth jw's teach that michael was the name of jesus in his pre-human existance.
then why the heck does the apostle john say that michael threw satan out of heaven in 1914???
1914 was almost 2 thousand years after jesus pre-human existence!!

Judah Ben Schroeder NOT finishing law school
by Seeker4 ina few weeks ago there were a couple of threads about the wts and higher education, and some stated that judah ben schroeder (son of the late governing body member al schroeder) was attending law school at columbia university.
i got an e-mail from a very reliable source today about some inaccuracies in those threads.
here are some quotes from the e-mail, which the writer asked me to share anonymously on jwd:

What Is A Religious Cult
by RevFrank inbeing around comparative religions for almost 50 years i've seen many religions come and go.
of course a cult is basically when people get together and follow what ever it may be.
now when we come to religions...anything can go...why?

As a struggling JW, how easy was it to dismiss the Mormonism Truth claim?
by Noggin ini am running into a few people on this board who are really struggling with trying to leave the jehovah's witnesses.
i want to post a question that might be beneficial.
if you struggled with leaving the jehovah's witnesses, why didn't you struggle with the mormon exclusivity claim?

Learning about the Amish (of all things) gave me hope for the JWs...
by Jamelle inas part of an education program held at the hospital for which i work, i learned some things last week about the amish communities.
i had always known that they practiced shunning, and that sounded so much like the jws, that i'd always lumped both groups into the same "general" category and thought no more of it.. ironically enough, there is a quote on one of the amish church books that really caught my attention.
i immediately applied it to my knowledge of the jws.
