Do JW's believe that Moses wrote the 1st five books?
by homeschool inwell, i'm a few chapters into who wrote the bible, by richard elliot friedman (thanks, primate, for the suggestion!
)...there's no way i could explain the book to you, but i can see exactly what it's saying.
the author really puts it in layman's terms to show how many people/men wrote the bible.

Have you read Stolen Innocence?
by homeschool inby elissa wall?
http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-stolen-innocence-by-elissa/ when i read it, i was very tearful because i could associate a lot of her life with mine.
the flds church is much more strict than jw's, but reading the book made me see that jw's are not the only ones who believe certain things, like that they have the "truth", or the roles of women, or the way men make their own decisions and then claim it's from god.

Are JW's the only ones imprisoned for their beliefs?
by homeschool ini'm sorry to gadget, who brought up a similar topic & it reminded me of something i was told 2 days ago.
is it true that jw's are the majority of people who are currently imprisoned for their beliefs?
can you give me examples if this is or is not the case?

Did you leave because of Family's Doubting thoughts?
by homeschool ini've recently finished steven hassan's releasing the bonds...will probably read it again.
i was just wondering, were you, at one point, on the jw side & had a non-jw family member do what steven hassan suggests?
did it work?

Losing the Ego, easier said than done
by homeschool ini've read steven hassan's combatting cult mind control, and i can see that it's impossible to say anything negative about their religion/cult.
thats just really stinkin' tough when you have proof and evidence of things and they are in lala land about their cult!
about ten years ago, i was a lot more outspoken about how i felt about the jw's, but have since grown up a bit.

1 John 4:1
by homeschool in-beloved ones, do not, believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with god, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world....new world translation.. .
this is a scripture i need to memorize.
i'm testing it!
