Calling all Christians:Countdown to October 29, 2017, the 500th year Anniversary of the Reformation
by Londo111 inon october 29, 2017, millions of people will observe the 500th year anniversary of martin luther nailing his 95 theses to door of the castle church of wittenberg, kick starting the reformation.
currently, i am listening to martin luther's commentary on the book of galatians, and it struck me how current his struggles sounded.
change some of the terminology and he might have well come out of the watchtower society.

Life lessons from The Dark Knight Rises... (Spoilers)
by Londo111 inthere are so many good themes.
there is a parallel of alfred not being truthful with bruce about his deceased girlfriend, and commissioner gordon not being truthful in regard to harvey dent.
in keeping the truth from people thinking we are protecting them, it does more harm when they do find out the truth.

What are the best Bible Translations?
by Londo111 ingrowing up in a jw family, my parents and my grandparents had many versions of the bible...not just the new world translation.
sometimes i read these.
but i always bought the hype that the new world translation was the most unbiased and most consistent in rendering hebrew and greek into the modern language.

Origin of High Control Groups by Natural Selection
by Londo111 ini'm about halfway through reading steven hassan's 'combating cult mind control', a very enlightening read to be sure.
there are many misconceptions as regards high control groups and mind control.
the popular conception is that of a nefarious mastermind that is knowingly using mind control and deceiving their members.

The Governing Body: the Harderliners versus the Moderates
by Londo111 ini was reading the rumors of the 2001 infighting and the near overthrow of the blood doctrine--and because of 9/11, the hardliners won the day.. .
that made me wonder: which ones on the governing body are the hardliners and which are the moderates?.
of course, it could well be that even the moderates have to tow the company line and not speak up, or else they will be shown the door just like brother ray franz was.. .

Analysis of the Book of Daniel
by Londo111 ini had hoped one or two others were about to start a thread on the book of daniel, springing off from the nwt conversation, but alas, nobody has yet.
therefore, i thought i'd start one--i hope that was not too presumptuous of me.
personally, i have nothing meaty to contribute to this thread, only questions and gut feelings.

Marginal Notes in the 'Shepherd the Flock of God'
by Londo111 inelders of the jeroboam/conscious class, .
it is my understanding, correct me if i am wrong, that during the km school, the instructors have elders write notes in the margins of the shepherd book, notes that legal does not want in print, and perhaps by extension, extra tidbits they don't want leaked to the public and/or average witness.. .
can you share some of these from the latest km school?.
