A Bible Question, please comment

there will have to be assumptions involved here.....that god exists, the bible is the word of god and creation is as stated in genesis, etc.

etc.. in the old testament, god seemed pretty straight forward, let certain people know (and not by osmosis) his intent.

backed certain kings, and showed power through physical occurrences over and over again.. along comes his son, who died for the entire race as a ransom for adam's sin.

if an author is quoted in the mags (or shall i say misquoted) and a jw learns where the quote actually came from even if it is of religious nature (non jw) can the jw then read the book?.

if the writers in ny are reading christendoms books and quoting where it suits them why can't the dub read the book?

(let me guess, my brothers have done all the work for me, or they are of the annointed.

i have just finished reading the book by carl olof jonnson about the subject of the last days.

a very interesting and enlightening book.

i noticed though that there was no discussion concerning the preaching of god's kingdom as a sign of the "time of the end".

Finally - some DVD interviews re: Kohl Productions available

2. beliefs
i few years ago dr. penton, grace gough/mouthy and i were interviewed for a series of videos about t6he wts, cults and the jws.

the goal for the interview series was to raise funding for a documentary about the wts and how it manipulates the unwary as well as their own members.. when i had my interview dr. penton and grace had already done theirs and i know the kohls (father and son) were on their way to do a fourth interview.. life requires you make some money so the project was put on hold while they took care of life's necessities.

the first threee videos were available as vhs cassettes but recently the cassettes were removed.

by concerned x in

2. bible
a conversation with a po this week led to a request from him to make a comparison of of jw's to other religions.

for ex: their preaching work, their growth, their brotherhood, their building projects, their assistance in times of natural disasters, etc.

the search engine in jwd is not working and i would appreciate any information written about this subject in the past..

two months ago i stepped down as an elder in the cong, it was a tremdous relief although a shock to the cong.

two and a half days ago i sent in a letter of explaination concerning why i wanted to step down and why i will be absent from the kh.

it only took two and a half days for the accusation of apostasy to be made against me.
