Why an article on the ancient city of Ebla in the Watchtower
by Gill ini was curious as to why the wtbts would publish an article on the ancient city of ebla.
but, to begin a little research on the internet on ebla could well be a surprise to any current jw as it could lead to all kinds of fascinating finds as to the origins of the name yhwh when a search is done, and even lead some to the discovery of the god el, the original lead or head god of the sumerians.
the jews had baal as their god of fertility and also yhwh as their storm/desert/ mountain/ supreme god (depending on which article you are reading but not surprising considering how many thousands of years back we need to go for this).. then, there arises the information on the cult of yhwh and even more fascinating information that the averge jw will never have come across.

Finding The Truth
by RevFrank inwhy is it so hard to find truth in the bibe?
there's an easy answer....you allow other influnces to enter into your conclusions.. i mean let's take a scripture.....1 john 5:1.....the very beginning it says, "whoever........" that word, whoever," means every living being that ever was..ever will be..on this earch that reads that word means all of us.........yet...the watchtower kicked out and disfellowshipped cris & norma sanchez..which was head of the spanish translation commettee.
the sanchez were responable for, all, spanish translations through out the world.

I am a magnet for men in cults
by kristyann inokay, so the ex-jw boyfriend and i finally broke up... and i am not really looking for anyone right now.
that was 2 and a half years of a pretty crazy relationship, and i don't think that i was particularly healthy staying in it.
i don't mind just hanging out with some guys, but i am not in the mood for anything serious after that roller coaster ride.. do you know what is so weird, though?
