i know someone who has this domain.

he bought it with the intention of challenging the gb's authority and teachings.

but, times have changed - he's moved on from the past and thinks he'll never get around to making and maintaining the site.. if you would like this domain name - no charge - tell me why you should be the one to use it.

The field service report
by James Free in

2. friends
whenever i read the bible, about prayers and giving gifts in secret, and not letting the right hand know etc.

it became clear to me that handing in a report with my name on was unscriptural.

my elder friend even agreed - but said we gotta do it anyway.

by James Free in

2. friends
as most of you know, witnesses will be given 50 handbills each to distibute 3 weeks before their conventions.

it would be great to produce our own counter-handbill and distribute it in the convention city 3 weeks before too.

can any one provide a scan of the jw one so i can make a counter-copy?

2. bible
judas iscariot's reputation as one of the most notorious villains in history could be thrown into doubt with the release of an ancient text on thursday.

the gospel of judas, a papyrus document from the 3rd or 4th century ad, tells the story of jesus' death from the fallen disciple's point of view.

alleged to be a copy of an even older text, it casts judas as a benevolent figure, helping jesus to save mankind.
