Within the past week I was looking at a chart listing the characteristics of numerous Christian sects. Jehovahs Witnesses were categorized in the Protestant vein.

Origins of Jehovahs Witnesses.
by vomit inquite a weird basic question but does jwism originate from protestantism or catholicism.
i know they came esentialy from the aventists but they themselves hide their original leanings.
as far as i can tell, especaily with looking for loopholes they do lean towards protestantism.

Should you apologize????
by jw inyes, a person should never be too proud to swallow his pride, apologize, and seek forgiveness.
abigail, a wise woman in ancient israel, provides an example of the power of an apology, although her apology was for a wrong that her husband had committed.
while dwelling in the wilderness, david, who later became king of israel, together with his men protected the flock that belonged to abigail's husband, nabal.

The issue is, not so much who is right and who is wrong, but who will take the initiative to make peace.
well, you seem to 'know' so much about it, so go ahead, feel free. -

Instead of thinking "its not the truth", or no longer believe it is the truth...
you might impress on the elders that you know - the truth about the truth
You might also let them know that Hundreds (thousands?) of Elders have learn the same thing and have left.... I would think that would give you some credibility as to 'what' you have found out... it might even make them curious. -

PETA Protest Backfires
by Stephanus inhttp://www.gjsentinel.com/news/content/news/stories/2006/05/18/5_18_1a_kfc_protest.html
a human inside an injured-chicken costume, hobbling in protest on the sidewalk wednesday in front of a kentucky fried chicken restaurant, didnt achieve the desired effect, according to many who dined there.. brad steig called wednesdays protest in grand junction by the people for the ethical treatment of animals good advertising for kfc.. the protest consisted of four adults and one child holding signs in front of the restaurant, handing out fliers and dvds and urging people to not eat at kfc until the restaurant buys chickens from humane vendors.. steig, a manager for halliburton, said he heard about the peta protest on the radio and decided right then to eat at kfc on wednesday, the day of the protest.. not only that, but he bought seven of the biggest buckets of chicken and all the side dishes and used four trips to load them into his halliburton pickup to treat his co-workers.
i don't know if there's an "ultimate" right-wingers' fantasy, but collecting 7 buckets of fried chicken in a halliburton pick-up in front of a peta protester must come pretty close.

Well as soon as they start putting people in ovens we'll talk about real abuse
If you're the person that's being put in the oven, I think it's too late to "talk" about anything.

Do You Think ENGLISH Should Be The Official Language In America?
by minimus insome politicians are saying this would be "racist".

Standing on its own, what merit does this proposal have? What are you going to do if someone cannot understand or speak enough English? Who judges what is "enough"? Do you revoke the green card or immigration document if they don't meet some standard?
What, exactly, is the threat this proposal is addressing?
The proposal addresses NOTHING.... it's a political ploy to make some people think our politicians are REALLY doing something "comprehensive". It has no TEETH. At first they voted to make it our national langage... then they had to revote stating that it's our 'unifying' language because the thought the first vote might upset some laws regarding materials in other languages. What a bunch of hoo-wee.
Both parties are a joke. This year, I'm voting ALL incumbants out.... no matter what party, no matter what issue.
