  "Captives of a Concept" --book online

  by bebu in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  on another thread, mj and garybuss recommended a rather new book to me, which, it turns out, is available online as a download as well as a paperback that can be shipped.

  i think it is an excellent resource, and believe it could be recommended to many people, jw or ex jw, because it uses wt material and doctrines as its criteria for discerning if the wt really does have all the authority they claim.

  (if you are a jw, do you know what proof you supposedly rely on that the wt is the faithful and discreet slave?

  currently i am reading The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James. It's kind of a slow read but there have been some good points broought out about the psychology behind religion in general.

  So far these storms hasn't done any damage here in Eden NC. I feel bad for those who have been affected so terribly. Let's hope the rain doesn't develope as bad as they predict.

  PS: There was some flooding on the other side of town, and it did damage a few buildings, I had forgotten that.

  Ken....hello fellow north carolininian!!! I know several people in the Eden NC congo but I don't talk to any of them b/c I'm DF'd. Have you been in Eden for a long time?

  i'm not cheap, i'm not trying to scam ray's estate out of $15, i just want to download the book to my palm so i can read it when i get a chance.

  i'd grab it from the library, but it's not the sort of coffee-table book i need lying around the house at this point in my life!.

  thanks for any links!
