Are Jehovah's Witnesses Becoming More Outreach Minded?
by Kenneson inin 2001 when houston was flooded, thousands of jw volunteers turned up to help fellow jws and a few non-witnesses benefited as well.. in 2002 when mount nyirangongo in goma, congo erupted jws sent aid that helped both jws and non-jws alike.. http://www.jw-media.org/newsroom/index.htm?content=humanitarian.htm .
and according to the feb. 15, 2003 watchtower, under the heading "life in a refugee camp" material assistance has been given to everyone in these camps in tanzania.
see page 16 and especially this quote: "the witnesses in europe have collected tons of soy milk, clothes, shoes, schoolbooks, and soap.

What do you think when you go by a Kingdom Hall?
by TresHappy ini drive by a kh every day, since it's very close to my work route, and i was wondering if anyone else secretly cheers that they don't have to go back into one of those things.
when i see a few cars parked there on the weekday, i am so thankful i don't have to go out and talk that stuff to strangers.
any thoughts?

Eternal Life through Jesus - When did it start?
by anti-absolutism inok this one might seem odd to some people... as christians, (i personally am not sure if i want to consider myself christian yet) is the belief that, since christ gave us the opportunity to have eternal life, or an immortal soul, that it was only after his death that we had the opportunity?
in other words did the people who died before his death not have the opprtunity and therefore are still just dead?.
your response is appreciated, as brief as possible, please.

The Bruderhofs - a lot like JW's
by DanTheMan ini just stumbled across this - very fascinating reading.
i had never heard of this group, but just another example of how fundy/world-renouncing religions have the same core spirit.
