"The soul of the flesh is in the blood..."
by Earnest inthe reader's digest of september 2003 has an article on near-death experiences (pp.94-100).
these involve people who have been clinically dead but have revived and reported a sense of consciousness during the period they were "dead".
this has often been cited as evidence of life after death.

Westcott & Hort - Saints or Sinners ?
by Earnest inin 1951 ernest cadmen colwell, an eminent bible scholar, wrote a book entitled what is the best new testament in which he made a study of a number of translations and put them to the test as to sixty-four citations in the book of john.
in the book he said (pp.99,100) :no scholar today employs [the textus receptus] for any scholarly purpose except as he may use it in writing the history of the greek new testament.
the king james version is undoubtably the most inaccurate english new testament in common use today...the king james stands at the bottom of the list also in regard to three spurious passages selected as tests (mk 16:9-20; jn 7:53-8:11 and 1 john 5:7-8).. .

The Third Reich and JW
by Earnest ini have recently purchased a small book entitled "the third reich and the christian churches" which is "a documentary account of christian resistance and complicity during the nazi era".
interesting reading.. one extract is taken from the book "kirchenkampf in deutschland 1933-1945" (friedrich zipfel, berlin, 1965, pp.527-533) which records the trial of fourteen jws before the berlin supreme court in november 1944:.
the writing, 'look the facts in the face' [probably 'face the facts', printed in 1938], has the impertinence to launch vicious attacks on the leadership of the national socialist state.

Jesus is watching you
by Earnest ina burglar broke into a home and was snooping around when he heard a voice whisper, "jesus is watching you.".
he paid no attention to the noise, assuming it was his mind playing tricks on him.
however, after another minute or so he heard the refrain again: "jesus is watching you.".
