  New 224 page book What does the Bible Really Teach?

  Thanks Stilla,

  I dont suppose the tracts give a time for the end eh? I figure they learned their lesson on that one.

  JW versus Christian Sciencetolgy Similarities

  by pratt1 in

  .

  i just read some of tom cruises' comments on his belief cs and i found them disturbing.. not just his point of view, but it appears that his beliefs are black or white... no gray areas, every thought was so definite, almost final.. sounded a lot like the jw beliefs in that they are the only people who has it right and everyone else is wrong.. does anyone know any thing about christian scientolgy and are they similar in their beliefs to the dubs?

  the local needs talk on thursday discussed a few different things, according to my mom.

  but the one that stood out most was that he announced that based on the new book, the elders will be checking on those that have not been associating with the congregation for some time.

  they will ask, "do you still want to be a jehovah's witness?

  It all seems to be local elders differing in how to handle things.

  So - be aware that if you get a phone call... there's always 'two' of 'em there.

  Its hard to believe they would be so sneaky about the whole deal.

  Tor:

  You gotta believe it! It's 'standard practice' for them - i,e, to be underhand like that. Even in a country like Australia where there are strict laws about the use of phones, they wouldn't be persuaded to mend their ways.

  Hi guys, I had an elder/po stop by the house a couple of times by himself. I wonder if he had a tape recorder on him. I said some things to him only that could be damning I suppose, should he have recorded it. Tor
