Harp of God
by jaffacake inhttp://www.strictlygenteel.co.uk/harp/harptitle.html
some amazing publications online.. just one example of the spiritual food at the proper time that earned jws appointment by christ as the fds in spring 1919. chapter 9 "our lord's return is very interesting.
this, and studies in the scriptures, also available free online are the teachings that won the organisation its appointment.

Evolution and the "Dialog of the Deaf"
by metatron inthis article is a bit dated but still is one of the best i've ever read about the continuing evolution/creation debate.
he calls for a "third way".
to explain life's origins - something i heartily applaud since my sympathies lean towards pantheism and the notion that life is .

Loyalty
by Norm inone of the most telltale signs of all totalitarian systems, religious of political is that they demand complete loyalty from their members.
no one or nothing can break that loyalty to the organization or the cause.
the watchtower society is of course no exception in this matter but is demanding the same kind of loyalty.

If they weren't so worldly, then I might...
by jaffacake inafter a roman catholic childhood, i spent my teenage years becoming a seventh day adventist, being baptised by immersion at about 16 years old.
whatever i now think of their doctrine, i worshipped with lovely people who were truly christians.
if i need to find a congregation, even just to pay a one-off visit, it could be my local adventist hall, you never know.

Love or Hate - which?
by jaffacake ini was brought up not being allowed to use the word hate and i generally followed this pattern with my own kids.
perhaps thats why i find the jw religion repulsive,
are jws the only christian religion that actually teaches pure hatred (in the biblical sense of course)?

Plausible creation to salvation?
by jaffacake inthe genesis of a complex world of persons, by successive stages of emergence from blind primal energy, through the development of stable atomic compounds, self-replicating complex molecules, the development of cells within highly structured organisms, the formation of central nervous systems, culminating in conscious, free and responsible life-forms, seems to be a miracle of elegant design.
its beauty is breathtaking and its final purpose, revealed in christ - the transfiguration of all humanity into god, eventually, would be of absolutely overwhelming value.
(see ephesians 3:11 & 1:5)
