by Phil ini would like to renew contact with my daughter that is now in paterson,ny living the life of a dedicated jw to the max.. .
i would like to use the email as a communicating device.

JW comparison
by Phil ini am looking for information that i once read and cannot relocate.
the subject is the kind of religious institutions that exist today.
jw have been critical of the catholic church in that it is an organization with a central core, if you will, locate in rome as opposed to the jws which have claimed originally, and perhaps still do, to not be ruled by a central entity.
