How is the WT unique?
by isaacaustin inthe org claims to be the true religion due to being the only ones correct on not believing in hellfire, the trinity, soul, staying out of politics, being the only ones to preach, etc.. none of these above are unique to the wt.
hellfire/trinity are not subscribed to by christadelphians...most religions preach in ways other than door-knocking- my church has so many missionary outreaches going on my head spins.
jws are the only org that counts their hours preaching.

a lil witnessing on my part
by isaacaustin inon my job i have dealing with lcoations in different parts of the countries.
to avoid any sort of confidentiality breach i will leave out the detail but simply state that a kingdom hall came up in a job-related conversation with one of our locations.. i told the person i spoke with that i have family in this religion and i too was raised in it.
this brought on questions as to why jws can celebrate anniversaries but not birthdays.

thank you Mary
by isaacaustin inalthough it has been said countless times on mary's trhead annoucing her finished product i felt it would be appropriate to give it its own thread in thanking her for her pice of work.
while others have also done similar works and websites i would like to thank mary for her hard work as well as time in putting together this easy to follow piece of work that used wt materials as well as scholars for her points.
she kept it in a simple, easy to understand format and kept out personal opinion.. good job mary!.

Sixscreens Conference Call
by isaacaustin intonight was my first night of listening in to the biweekly conference call.
it lasted a bit over 4 hours but was well worth the time.
the two guests gave their personal accounts of growing up in the org and the emtional trauma caused by the org and what it does to otherwise good, loving people.
