Question about Writing Department
by Aaron Eldridge ini know that some dubs who write material for the wtbts that are not of the 'faithful slave'.
when the non-anointed finish the material it is to be approved by someone appointed from the gb to check the material.
i am not sure that this is the correct picture, please correct if i am wrong.

Social aid and the Witnesses
by Aaron Eldridge in*** g 5/08 p. 21 is philanthropy the answer?
***by fully addressing the root causes of human suffering, god will accomplish what is well beyond all humans, individually and collectively.
accordingly, rather than set up philanthropic organizations, jehovahs witnesses, in imitation of jesus christ, prefer to devote their time and financial resources to announcing the good news of [gods] kingdom.matthew 24:14; luke 4:43.. i have collected a few quotes like this one but could use some more.

You can take your three day quickbuild and shove it...
by Aaron Eldridge inthere is a christian organisation that builds churches in one day, oddly enough they are called church in a day.
so much for the quickbuild being used as proof of god's divine order working through the organisation.. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/29/faithful-volunteers-build-church-in-one-day-in-iowa/.

Question about Bible Studies?
by Aaron Eldridge inis there any restriction on jehovah's witnesses becoming friends with their "bible studies"?
while they are studying with them could they do things like go to the movies, go out for a cup of coffee, or just hang out with out the pretense of it being a study?
i tried to search on my version of the watchtower library cd-rom but could not find any direct answers.

A letter writting campaign to current JW's
by Aaron Eldridge ini thought there was something on this site recently about a letter writting campaign that helped over 40 witnesses leave the org, but i cannot find anything here.
i searched all the related sites but again found nothing.
i am starting to question if i dreamt the whole thing up.

N.T. Wright, Michael F. Byrd, Scott McKnight, E.P. Saunders, Etc.
by Aaron Eldridge inthese are some of my favorite new testament scholars.
all of these guys and many others fall within the "jesus is the restoration of israel" court of new testament studies.
obviously these are not the only ones, there are many others but these are my favorite thus far.
