DEFENDING THE LIE----by avoiding the truth about THE TRUTH
by Terry init is surprising how intellectually dishonest an otherwise wonderful person can be; (a loved one) when it comes to holding on to.
a horrible lie.. you see it everyday.
a woman will defend her husband against child-molesting and disbelieve her own daughter.

JW Reform
by insearchoftruth inin trying to get information on the jws, i have come across sites such as ewatchman, jwreform and beth-sarim.
what is up with these sites.
some of the articles i have read from jwreform i feel are very well written (one in particular is organizational idolatry) and have provided me some interesting information on the fallacies of the organization.

Women be silent!!
by skyman ini have been looking into the research art d. ehrman from the department of religious studies from the university of north carolina.
he makes a very convincing argument that to me proves the bible verses that make women less human was not in the originals.. paul called women by name some of the women were taking the lead at romans 16: 3-16 in verse 3 say fellow worker prisca (woman).
then verse 7 junias (woman) this is interesting some bibles including the new world translation then says who are men or kinsmen this is not found at all in the older manuscripts so the new world translation and any other translation is in error.
