What are Born-Again Christians going to do if 616 is the # of the beast?
by booker-t inpleasuredome posted a very interesting post about the number of the beast of rev is not 666 but is actually 616. he mentioned that scholars have found remains of old new testament fragments that actually show the number is 616. will born-agains announce that they have been wrong on this for over 2000 years when the apostle john wrote the book of revelations?
i have always thought christians put to much emphasize on the number 666 and trying to make it a real person such as hitler, nero, president reagan, president clinton, etc; i have always felt the book of revelations is symbolic and cannot be taken so literally.
i think many born-agains and other christian group are going to be shocked when they realize that they have been misled by their ministers and religious leaders.

What are some Bible contradictions that JWs can't reconcile?
by marked ini remember reading in the reasoning book about how to approach someone at the door who said the bible was full of contradictions.
one of the answers was "many say the bible's full of contradictions but no one's been able to show me an example of one.".
so, what are some examples that jws would have no real canned answer to?.

confused
by sugarbritches inquestion-- if a jw is disfellowshipped for having too much association with a non-witness- is this jw likely to be refused a reinstatement as long as he is associating with her-- and if so- will he be allowed to talk to her again to some degree after he is reinstated?

Giving your life for a Brother or Sister, would you have done it?
by JH inoften, we hear that jw's would give their life for a brother or sister anywhere in the world.
the more i know jw's, the more i say, "heck no"!
since jw's believe in the resurrection, why bother?
