Quote Concerning JWs
by Stephanus inwe had a jehovahs witness visit this week.
it was a brief visit, and as the witness walked back down our driveway i thought to myself, if we were to take away the merit points you receive within your religious organisation for getting out witnessing, would you have any heart for the lost would we still see you out walking the beat sharing your faith...what would we see of you?
jehovahs witnesses believe in grace, provided it is accompanied by witnessing!

Here's One the 'Tower Hasn't Tried - Yet...
by Stephanus inhttp://www.maccreator.com/articles/demons.html .
looks like a great way to keep loyal dubs off the net - appeal to that good old standby: fear of demons, in this case possessing your late model computer's hard-drive!
how long before brooklyn tries it?

Reasons Why...
by Stephanus inin my early years as a christian, i was exposed to many teaching on the end times whereby the proponent of that teaching had very sound reasons for why we were in the last days.
there was hal lindsey with the late great planet earth, salem kirban with 20 reasons why the earth may not last another 20 years and barry smith ( http://www.barrysmith.org.nz/) with warning.
i believed all this stuff for some time but it soon became apparent that all their "biblically derived" end dates were both wrong (they came and went) and contradictory.. a good book i read on the subject was 99 reasons why noone knows when christ will return by b.j.

Procter and Gamble - The Myth
by Stephanus ini never cease to be amazed at how much the jws resemble the pentecostal movement - especially the fear of demons.. that they have adopted the procter and gamble myth should come as no surprise therefore; i first heard of it from a pentecostal friend.
the whole thing sounded suspicious to me; i advised caution or that he at least contacted the company before boycotting their products (to no avail, i might add!
) i would advise anyone who perpetuates this myth to stop doing so; it can get you sued!.
