isaacaustin, his esstential religious belief is as I described. It is a shameful theology at its core and should discussed fo its merits and flaws as any other ideology.
NO ONE CARES.
the jehovah's witnesses, come to your door with promises of "great love", inner peace, and a utopian future.
but what are they not telling you?
wilbur lingle, author of the new book, "what the watchtower society doesn't want you to know" puts in to layman's language his many years of documented research about the inner workings of the society, including the true character of its leaders, the false phrophecies they have made, their strange doctrines and ideas, etc.

although it has been leading up to this for a long time, it appears russia has made up their mind to get rid of "extremist" groups by banning them, and jws are pretty much at the top of the list.
the last few years under putin they have been giving them heaps of trouble.. .

"How do we stop this guy, boss?!"
"Concrete shoes, Nicky, concrete shoes."
