what is truth - Pilate asked Jesus
by Ruby456 ini think pilate was being socratic when he asked jesus - what is truth?.
my question is to do with whether or not jesus was also being socratic when he said he had come to bear witness to the truth.
my idea is that both pilate and jesus were talking about a kind of ethics to live.

Discussion with a Pioneer
by Saved_JW intwo weeks ago i had an opportunity to meet up with a pioneer whom a friend had accepted a "bible study" from.
my christian friend invited me to come along as support, so my plan was to sit back and listen for the most part.
well, that was the idea anyways.

Watchtower Paralells Mormonism
by Saved_JW inafter leaving the watchtower i had a 2 year lapse where i was studying mormonism.
not because i believed it, but because my girlfriend at the time was one.
i took the time to attend ward meetings with her, attend after church activities, join my in-laws for "family home evening" i was pretty much immersed in the culture.

Thoughts on "Our Christian Life and Ministry" meeting
by Saved_JW ini just watched the sample meeting corresponding to the new release of "our christian life and ministry" and i have a few lingering thoughts.
1- meeting layout simplified to match level of publishers.
when i grew up in the watchtower, the only real positive takeaway i have is being forced from a very young age to have the skill for public speaking, this has directly helped me with my confidence and gave me a skillset that is valuable in my current job.

Discussion with a Pioneer: CONCLUSION
by Saved_JW indeity of jesus.
the final part of our discussion took us back to the very beginning where he was asking my christian friend a question about the trinity.
i wasn't convinced that david received an answer that was satisfying [essentially its a mystery, god is too big to understand etc..] i wanted to talk about that more.

Discussion with a Pioneer Pt. 3
by Saved_JW in[cont...] at this point david and i had developed a great rapport.
not everything we talked about was "theology" .
i think its important to develop some sort of friendship along the way, in doing so, he was able to relax and not be on guard the entire time.
