Does anyone else find some of Ehrman's observations supportive of JW theology? Yes he is agnostic and he approaches the Bible from a historical viewpoint, but some of his arguments seem to fall nicely into JW non Trinitarian theology. Maybe he is just splitting hairs and it comes across that way but some of what he said sounds earily familiar and it is disturbing because I love his work.

US Royal Commission or Something Like it
by mrmagic inwhat would be the equivalent of a us version of the royal commission?
i'm not just asking about one specific governmental entity, but perhaps even a conglomerate of entities or series of events that would need to take place to cause a domino effect....a tipping point.
who do you think needs to be contacted that can turn around and contact a lot of others?looking for thoughts and ideas.

Jackson Vs Lett and Morris: Pedophile Fiasco
by BashfulAshG inso jackson admits that there's a problem in the jw community with pedophiles, but lett says that it isn't true that jw are permissive to pedophiles.
also, morris says that jws where ahead of the game with the 1980s watchtower by blaming homosexuals for pedophilia.
hmm...seems legit.

I am so sorry you had to experience this trauma, but also so proud of the stance you took and the fortitude you showed in helping your mother save her own life! She will need you now more than ever. You are right, it is an infuriating blood cult. -

Jackson on Deuteronomy 22 and "two witnesses"
by Marvin Shilmer inin his testimony before the royal commission geoffrey jackson said he did not have the answer to the question posed to him regarding deuteronomy 22:25-27 and was unable to ask jesus at this time.
two things stand out to me about this piece of jackson's testimony.
1. he said he could not ask jesus.

Jackson can't pray TO Jesus, only through him.
A better Commission question would have been, "Is it not the case that if Jehovah is asked about a case of sexual abuse, he may refer back to this part of Deuteronomy and say that it's not required to have two witnesses?

Do you believe Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body is the "faithful slave"?
by Marvin Shilmer inthis question is known to be posed by jws to other jws as an acid test of loyalty.
i'm not the first to notice what i'm about to point out and comment accordingly, but today i felt compelled to add a short article on my blog highlighting the new language that governing body member geoffrey jackson supplies as a response.
a person who honestly hesitates to respond with a robust "yes!
