Wow guys, I picked a really bad day to put this up! I've never seen my hosting provider give such sparatic service like this. Usually it is problem free. Glad I don't use this company for important things!

Good luck on your search Gringa, it's possible he was here but it is just so huge. The internet is a huge place.
Did you try looking on his computer? I'm sure the sites he visited would have been saved in his internet files. -

Back when I was a JW, there was one thing that I thought the Mormons did that JWs could learn from. That was the programs and activities for the youth of the congregations. The Mormons seemed to make sure that their youth had support from the church and activities planned so that families could share fun times together. The JWs have never done that. For JWs, its all about going to the meetings and going door to door. Anything outside of that and they were on their own.
I believe this reveals how the Mormon leadership is much better prepared to grow their religion out over the long term. They invest in their youth because they are the future of the group.
On the other hand JWs are to focused on the idea that their youth will never even grow up before "gods kingdom" arrives. -

I'm sorry guys! For some reason my server is down right now (updates possibly?). It is never down like this. It's no freebie server either, i'm paying for it! I can't even log in via ftp right now. How frustrating.
I'll post an update when the server is up again. -

One thing that may interest you FormerMormon is the differance in approach JWs take in regards to their history over Mormons.
From what I understand Mormons are very open about the 'testimony' of Joseph Smith and his 'revelation' from God. This revelation is the foundation of the Church.
The JWs have a very similar teaching. Their story goes that an invisible Jesus Christ came down out of heaven in 1918/1919 and chose them as the only true religion. This is their foundational story.
But the JWs do not give 'testimonies' about this. If you ask a JW that comes to your door about this teaching they may try to get around asking questions about it, or even possible lie about it.
The reason is because their technique is converting people over to theological opinions not attached to their foundational story. Over time they will get the potential member to trust them to the point where they can drop the 'whopper' story on them. By this poin the potential convert is so far on their way to joining the group the radical teaching (1919 stuff and other things) doesn't phase them.
I think this is one of the major differences between JWs and Mormons. Mormons embrace and proclaim their revelations they believe God has given them while JWs deny that they even have any. -

Is there a list of changes made in the New World Translation?
by Grammy ini would love to be able to show them to my husband so he can check them for himself since he thinks the only changes made were that the nwt is in a "modern language" he gets quite upset with me when he tells me he has read the bible front to back several times and i say "yes you have, but the bible you are reading has been changed from what the scriptures in other versions of the bible say" thanks in advance for any help with this.grammy
