Christmas and Thanksgiving are all about having a great time!
by observador inwe are having friends over for thanksgiving this year, and we're enjoying every bit of it.
as for christimas, we are playing all that game with our little one; santa claus coming with a gift for her; we're helping her decide which present we'll ask santa to bring, and all that crap.
we're enjoying all of that, especially since our parents never did that to us.

Has anyone researched the "Bethel" of the bible?
by megsmomma ini found this extremely appropriate.
the meaning of bethel (which the wtbts will tell everyone) is house of god....yet in 1&2nd kings it talks of bethel turning bad and being full of false gods and being destroyed.
(there is one part that says that they would let anyone in and make them a priest...no qualifications...just like at bethel) has anyone done studies on this?

Most religious work?
by JWdaughter inhttp://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2006/november/37.32.html.
mark r. elliot, editor of east-west church and ministry report, estimates that between 1997 and 2003 the revocations of visas of foreign religious workers totaled 84. fifty-four of them were protestants, 15 muslims, 7 catholics, 3 buddhists, 3 mormons, and 2 jehovah's witnesses.
and these are just the known cases; most are not reported.

Jews for Jesus VS. JWs - Which one is closer to the 'truth'?
by Santisimo inhere's my question, which organization do you think follows the teachings of christ more accurately, jews for jesus or the jws?.
after all, jesus did live and die as a jew not a christian.
james, the brother of jesus carried the congregation immediately after his brother's death and he too, lived and died as a jew (even though he was killed by other jews who considered him a blasphemer).

Pyramids what did they exactly believe?
by GBSJG inthe book "the way to paradise" from 1924 on page 155 sums up some of the believes they had about the pyramid of gizeh:.
it is quite probable that shem, the son of noah, a faithful servant of god, was in charge of its construction.. they also mention that the pyramid provides evidence for some dates:.
it gives the date of the exodus of the children of israel from egypt, and the date of the birth and the death of jesus.
