Non-Fundamentalists: Is Evangelism Necessary?
by leavingwt inmost christians alive today have rejected the notion of eternal, physically painful punishment for non-believers after death.
(annihilationism, universalism and defining hell as an 'absence of/separation from god' are the most common beliefs, today.).
so, if you're a christian who doesn't view christianity as the only road to salvation, do you think evangelism is required or necessary?.

Lying for 'The Truth'?
by TTWSYF inmy bro introduced me to a concept called 'lying for the truth'.
is that actually something that the watchtower promotes?

ESCAPE - Great book to share with JW you know
by Albert Einstein inrecently i bought a great book "escape" by carolyn jessop.
this lady was born in a fundamental polygamist mormon comunity and managed to escape with all her 8 kids in 2003. she wrote this book as her life story.. its on one hand interesting to see how ridiculous the life in their community is and on the othe other hand its so similar to jw.... discouraging higher educationbelieving everything out of their religion is satanicblindly following what their "prophet" (fds) sayswomen must be obedient to husbands in everythingspanking kids is following gods commandno holidays and no christmassmy wife still is a jw, but this book really is an eye opener for jw.
its not "apostate", it is exposing "false religion", so there is nothing wrong for jw to read it - i strongly recommend this book if you want to help them to see how stupid some aspects of jw life is.. btw - do you recommend some other books that jw would read, but could help them to wake up?.
