by Terry in

american cities were in turmoil by the end of the civil war.

brother had cut down brother; baptist had butchered baptist and the war cries in the name of god had echoed from the hills on both sides of the battlefield.

love of god and neighbor and puritan ideals were left bleeding at shiloh, gettysburg and bull run.

The Biblical Flood Thoroughly Trashed
by Farkel in
1. watchtower
2. bible
there are many new ones on this board who may not have seen this.

my old friend alan feurerbacher who has done an unbelievable amount of scholarly research on many subjects must have spent about two or three thousand years researching virtually every aspect of the biblical flood story, and am providing the link to this subject (together with links to other excellent work by him).

it's long and detailed and definitely not for those who get bored with more than four sentences of information and sound bites.

if you mate died suddenly or left you, could you handle life alone?

i ask this because my brother in law's witness mom just died recently, and we're wondering how his dad is going to handle life alone now.

james carrollthe politics of religion in america by james carroll december 17, 2007 what in the name of god is going on in american politics?

mitt romney's "faith in america" speech, riddled with mistaken assertions about religion, was itself a warning.

but other presidential candidates, debate moderators, pundits, and religious leaders all share a dangerous confusion about questions of faith and citizenship.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not a cult and here's why I think so
by B_Deserter in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
when most people think of "cult" they think of the people's temple, the branch davidians, or heaven's gate.

many also want to put jehovah's witnesses, mormons, and scientologists into this group.

i don't agree with that because there is one main difference between true cults and high-control groups like jws:.
