  A little bit of national pride never hurt anyone ...

  some context for this post is helpful: in england we are currently (as a nation) deluding ourselves that we can win the world cup*.

  therefore, the country is literally turning red and white with flags on display everywhere.

  we are idol worshipping ourselves into an early armageddon over here!.

  Whats the aim of the people in charge?

  by JoeSinclair in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was about to post another reply to my previous thread but i decided a new thread would be appropriate for this question.. i have learned a lot in the last few days about the jw organisation and the waverings towards cult-like behaviour.

  i have read web sites listing cult like characteristics and then examples of what the watchtower chaps have done that looks similar.

  it was tempting, at first, to think that i am hearing from a collective of disaffected people who have been hard done by and to assume the reality lies somewhere nearer the middle than you guys say it is.

  hi guys,.

  i have posted earlier today about the witness translation of the bible.

  i am trying to learn about the jw way of life from the perspective of an interested outsider.

  Which books were selected to make up the Bible?

  by JoeSinclair in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have stolen some text, quoted below, from the national geographic website, http://www.nationalgeographic.com/lostgospel/timeline.html.

  i read their article about the supposed gospel of judas and found it interesting.

  i offer no comment on the validity of their article, nor seek one.
