Watchtower Videos/DVDs: Your Opinion
by Eyes Open ini'm from the uk and i'd be interested to get your opinions on the videos and dvds that the society has produced.
not opinions on the content as such (i think i know that already), but on the style and the quality of production.
speaking as a brit, i found them incredibly corny/cheesy when i was a witness.

A revelation for me: the revelation of Revelation
by Eyes Open ini was reading the thread about revelation, and some research i did on the beginning of chapter 10 of the apocalyptic book came to mind, so i thought i'd share it here in case anyone's interested.. as an ignorant jehovah's witness, i had no idea of the real literary structure of the book.
the watchtower society makes out the mighty angel in 10:1 who stands on the sea and earth is jesus christ, and that the contents of the little scroll he hands john is a prophecy to be fulfilled after 1914. to grasp the simple truth that the strong angel in 10:1 is the angel alluded to in 1:1, and that the little scroll is actually the scroll which has been progressively unsealed in 6:1 to 8:1, was very satisfying.
it describes the revelation being given to john, which contains the main content of the prophetic work!.

Introduction to the Old Testament - Open Yale Courses
by Eyes Open inyesterday, i stumbled upon this brilliant resource:.
introduction to the old testament (hebrew bible) with professor christine hayes.
the section on daniel and apocalyptic will be the session i listen to first, as, having learnt about what the authors of the literature in daniel actually meant, it's a topic which interests me.. about the course.
