"One of" Jehovah's Witnesses
by NeonMadman inany thoughts on that particular phrasing?
personally, i think the wts uses it as another form of mind control.
by calling the individual "one of jehovah's witnesses," it lends a generic feel to the wording.

Interesting JW/Mormon Statistics from Barna
by NeonMadman inthe barna group conducted a survey comparing the religious and demographic backgrounds of jw's and mormons vs. evangelical christians.
i found some of the statistics rather surprising.
for example, 29% of those who said they are jw's also reported that they are registered to vote.

WT 'Lulled to Sleep, Bound hand and foot by Satan?'
by NeonMadman inan interesting quotation from the wt of december 1, 1922, p. 374:.
succeeding in this, satan would have such cast away much that the lord has provided for his people and has brought forth upon his table through his wise and faithful steward.
he would cause them to cast away "tabernacle shadows," the greater part of the studies in the scriptures, to disregard all the evidence of the second presence of the lord, and to deny, of course, that brother russell filled the office of the wise and faithful steward; to disregard the evidence, scriptural and otherwise, of the harvest time and the harvest work; to put aside all proof of the parallel dispensations and chronology, and hence to refrain from announcing the end of the world and the beginning of the reign of christ.
