i am interested to know what you know about jesus and what you really think of his teachings.. the bible says there is only one way to heaven.. jesus said: "i am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father but by me.

1. jw
2. friends
it seems to me that many who have left the hive seem to want to do a sort of "anti-preaching", to proclaim the evils of the society, religion, whatever.

i agree that certain issues need to be made known to the public, but my question is about how we do it.

if we're preachy about it, how effective are we likely to be?
