by openeyes inwas reading in a post that the name for god used in genesis has conections with the cannanite god el,i was wondering if there is any conection with the story of melchezidez as he was a cannanite king who worshipped the true got,also i assume as he was king his people would have followed the same religion,who were they and what happened to them,i know some will say hes a mythical character,but supposing the story is true its interesting to me that the first nation worshiping the true god was the cannanites or at least those in the city of salem..

JWs as portayed in the media
by Nathan Natas inthis is a spin-off from the thread about bill maher's omission of jws from his film, "religulous" that shamus100 started.. i cannot recall ever seeing the jw misology accurately portrayed in the media.
most recently there was the premiere episode of us tv series "lie to me" in which the supposed jw kid said that he was praying for the souls of some people.
at that point i changed the channel.

Resolved to do Right? (Big puke alert)
by WTWizard inthe june 15 washtowel has an article about resolving to do what is right.
the preceding article had a subheading about fleeing from fornication, which merits a puke alert (yup, stifle that sex drive and stay away from anything that might make you sexually attracted to someone else).. this is the second study article, which has things to pursue.
paragraph 4 is a prime example.

"gods channel" and "anointment"
by Morgana ini just can't resist adding my two cents to this topic:.
there seems to be a general misunderstanding and confusion of what constitutes "gods channel" and "anointment" according to the biblical texts.. the kings - e.g., saul and david - were anointed but they were not yahweh's "channels"; they were strictly earthly, political rulers (though they had some ritual obligations, of course).
spiritual channels properly speaking were the prophets, and at times there were dozens or even many more of them around simultaneously, in the northern as well as the southern kingdom, and mostly acting individually and independently from each other (apart from some "schools" or "colleges" of prophets that were also mentioned occasionally).
