Looking for some help/critique on an article on apostolic succession
by corpusdei ini just finished up on an article examining the idea of apostolic succession.
i think i've done a fair job of examining the other side of the issue than that put forward in the reasoning book, but the idea itself is one that i'm pretty unfamiliar with (and what i do remember is incredibally rusty).
can anyone point out any factual or logical issues that i may have made here?.

Acts 17, where's the organization, guys?!
by arko_n9ne ini was listening to the radio today.
kdkr dallas.
they were playing a q&a with ravi zacharias and he pointed out a passage in acts 17 that i was unfamiliar with, but it rung some bells in my head.. acts 17:24,25 (nwt): "the god that made the world and all the things in it, being, as this one is, lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples,neither is he attended to by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives to all [persons] life and breath and all things.".

What are the marks of True Christianity?
by TimothyT ini was browsing through the new public edition watchtower article for march 2012. generaly, id say i agree.
of course there are more than 5 ways of identifiying who christians are today, but the following are reasonable enough benchmarks:.
remain in my worldno part of the worldhave love among yourselvesi have made your name knownthis good news of the kingdom will be preachedhowever, what gets me is the constant demonstrating of the inadequacies of other religions, purely to bull up the jehovahs witnesses.

Am only now discovering/reading the Apocrypha
by Muddy Waters ini was never a born-in jw, got baptized when i was 20 after being raised and belonging to a denomination of a protestant church.
so i never even knew that there was a "catholic" bible or extra bible books (the authenticity of their belonging in the canon or not is a debatable issue, and one i certainly have no answers about it!).
i knew through my study with jws that there were some "extra" books written, but since i believed everything the wt said hook, line, and sinker, i just went along with their explanation that they were not part of the bible canon.
