Interesting article. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22250412
I don't know why we sometimes have trouble expecting there will be 'nu lite', apparently all religions have been getting it since the start of time.

Interesting they don't mention JWs, because who changes their mind more often than JWs? I guess they just don't take JWs seriously enough to include them. Even Mormons with their completely fictional history of the Americas and their magic underpants are taken more seriously than JWs.

That's because other religious scholars take us seriously. We also have some fine people working in a number of fields who have put forth many credible theories and have defended our views. The Jehovah's Witnesses discourage higher education where the Mormons encourage it. We're actually making a great deal of progress defending our "completely fictional history" of the Americas. We also have some excellent professors of ancient scripture and history that have been recognized by scholars in other religions. Jesuit scholar George McRae and Methodist scholar Margaret Barker are just two.

Galileo Said the bible tells us how to go to heaven not how the heavens go. I like that and I heard it some where else
