  on sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs - by ltc (ret) dave grossman, author of "on killing.

  honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age.

  it does so because honor is, finally, about defending those noble and worthy things that deserve defending, even if it comes at a high cost.

  Alleged Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus

  by JanH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most exjws are familiar with the claims that the gospel accounts about jesus "fulfills" around 300 prophecies in the old testament.

  this claim is taken verbatim from christian fundamentalists.

  checking out these so-called prophecies will reveal that they do not stand up to scrutiny.
