Looking For Online Sources Dealing With God, Atheism, Wicked Spirits, Demons...etc..
by mentallyfree31 ini have been doing quite a bit of reading since i "awakened" in december.
most of the reading has been books that were recommended to me.
so far i have read the following: crisis of conscience, in search of christian freedom, combatting cult mind control, releasing the bonds, apocalypse delayed, sign of the last days, who wrote the bible, a history of the end of the world, awaking of a jehovah's witness by diane wilson, thus saith the governing body, captives of a concept, and a few more... i would like to get suggestions on websites that deal with god, atheism, wicked spirits, demons, religion, etc.... do you have any good links that contain such information?
