Comparison of Timelines for World Religions.
by Lost in the fog inbecause of the wts focus on their interpretation of bible history i never realised when other religious thoughts were introduced to the world.
even their publication "mankind's search for the only true god" was skewed to show other belief systems in a negative light.
i recently stumbled upon this informative website, and i am sharing the timeline given on it.

Shunning Part A
by new boy inthere is one very important question they should ask you before you get baptized, but for some odd reason they don’t.
that question should be: “are you aware that if you join this religion by getting baptized, if you ever change your mind at any time in the future and decide to leave it, you will be shunned?
this means your friends, parents, children and relatives will have nothing to do with you for the rest of your life.”.

Arguments I’ve Had: Historical Accuracy and the Bible
by Saethydd inwhen i was a jw and still living with my parents i remember the way my father held what could almost be described as contempt for archeologists, paleontologists, and other scientists who dared to try explain what happened in past.
he justified this attidtude with the argument that these people don’t have enough evidence to make such claims with any certainty.
however, i see now that his viewpoint was more likely a defense mechanism to protect his presupposed conclusion that everything described in the bible actually happened.
