methodologies
by peacefulpete inanyone who enters the fray of bibical scholarship finds a world of empassioned arguments drawing diametrically oposing conclusions.
both/all sides of a debate claim relevant archaeologically and paleographically established facts to support their position.
i propose to describe the methodologies of the 3 foremost camps of thought on this subject.. the 3 camps are in my estimation, 1..the conservative historical critical method (hcm)supporters, 2...the so called "minimalists", and the 3...bible inerranists.. to roughly approximate the priciples and approaches of these 3 groups i have supposed a hypothetical bible text that has 3 elements open to historical review and proof/disproof, i will call them a,b,c.

Questions about Jehovah's Witnesses that I need answers to
by the real truth ini'm not trying to offend anyone by asking questions, but i really want answers to my questions from jehovah's witnesses.
ok, i've been having a problem with john 1:1. how many gods are there?
the most famous distortion in the nwt is john 1:1. the nwt inserts the word "a" in front of the second god in this verse.

Best definition of the Bible I've ever seen...
by logansrun inthis was emailed to me from a friend...
the old testament is a compilation of convenient myth and a history of racial justification and aggrandisement, threaded through with rules of hygiene and behaviour, all devised to convince the children of israel that as god's chosen race, no matter what calamities befell them as victims of babylon and egypt and no matter what calamities they wantonly inflicted on other races and religions, they should strive to increase in number, power and extent.
the new testament, as expressed in the four gospels, is a dispensation from the narrow and proscriptive uncharity of the jews, appealing to the greek and latin temperament.

Did Any Of You Ever Believe In The Explanations Of JW Prophecy?
by minimus inas a born and raised jw, i was taught that not only did we have the truth but we also had the keys to understanding of bible prophecy.
i was able to explain the gentile times timetable, the reason for 1914,etc.
but there came a time when i really came to appreciate that i had no real foundation for these "truths".

JGnat's comments on WT May 15, 2003 Christ Speaks to the Congregations
by jgnat inwt may 15, 2003 christ speaks to the congregations study june 29, 2003
here we study about the seven stars talked about in revelation 2, whom the article states logically denote spirit-anointed overseers, or bodies of elders.
* in revelation 2, the seven congregations are alternatively complimented for their strength, and slammed for their areas of weakness.
