Question re Mary.
by Tez inwell it started with one and sort of developed from there.. firstly, mary was a virgin when she miraculously conceived jesus, so does that mean then that he was illegetimate, and if so then why did jehovah not simply allow her to marry joseph, send an angel to joseph to advise him to abstain from sexual intercourse until after the birth of jesus?
after all joseph was the only one who could testify at that time that mary was a virgin, he could have easily have done that even if they had been married.
the fact that she was a virgin would not have been obvious until the birth when it could be proved that her hymen was intact.

Did you ridicule apostates for attacking the Org. and not Bible doctrine?.
by Wasanelder Once inwhen i was a busy little pie-in-ear we had a local apostate who would come and pretend to be interested.
he always attacked russell and rutherford and the early organization.
(this was in the late 80's early 90's) after he left, the young brother with me said, "these apostates always attack the imperfect organization but never can show anything from the bible.

What happened between Jesus death & the gospels being written?
by yaddayadda inhi, i'm interested in researching this subject.
can anyone recommend any good books that offer critical theories on the origins of early christianity, specifically the content and creation of the gospels.
for instance, how much of the gospels is underlying historical truth and how much might be exaggerations that crept in through, say 'chinese whispers' in the time between jesus death and the writing of the gospels ?

HELP!! ADVICE....Saying NO to pioneering
by Kristofer ini have a female friend who i've been discussing the religion with.
she definitely has doubts about the org but isn't sure on leaving just yet as she has still got about 6 months to go being a minor dependent on the parents.
lately, she's been getting heavy pressure to start pioneering.
