    KERA, NPR's station in Dallas, will be interviewing Brad Hirschfield at the top of the hour, in their "Think!" daily program. You can listen on www.kera.org/think just click the "Listen" button on the left.

    I know nothing about the man, but found the name of his book, "You Don't Have to be Wrong for Me to be Right" to be interesting, given our JW heritage...

    Apparently this guy USED to be a fantacist in the West Bank, but after seeing what that does to people, and causes people to do to people, he's come to believe that there is no "one right way", and that a pluralism of faith is okay... what a different world it would be if everybody felt that way.

    Anybody listening to this live? He describes, without naming them specifically, so many of the aspects that make JW's a cult... this program will be on their podcast for download as an MP3 after 7pm tonight... try to download it and listen to it if you can. VERY interesting discussion...

    It will be here after 7:00pm ET: http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=5183228

    From judaism has sprung protestantism (second generation), catholicism, modern day judaism, zionism and islam (second generation). Possibly, also communism, since it was developed by jews.

    Point? By all means, read it. But, consider from where it's coming. Always check the nature of sources.
