8How do other churches and religions finance themselves compared to JW's?
by ThomasCovenant inthe jw's, including myself when in, seemed proud to make the point that collection plates are not passed around at the hall.. instead there are boxes at the back of the kingdom hall and in various locations at assembly halls for contributions.. plus the service meeting items detailing how else to contribute.. as far as i'm aware the catholic church passes a plate along the aisles.
but do other churches?.
are the witnesses correct to use this as a unique selling point?.

CO visit provides preview of April generation change!
by agent zero ini thought the april wt's brazen generation doctrine change would barely get an official mention before nor after the two paragraphs that deal with it, but yesterday i went to the circuit overseer's visit and in a talk from a bethel outline, he specifically mentioned the change, and i quote... "the very very very newest information we have available, from the april 15th 2010 watchtower!
" ..reads the infamous paragraphs.. and then, "isn't that wonderful brothers and sisters?
so now we understand that it means that brother russell's life overlapped with brother rutherford's who's life overlapped (he went through them all), so clearly, this means the end is near.".

The Pagan Christ
by poopsiecakes inhas anyone read this book?
i haven't, but i just watched a documentary on it.
the author's premise is that the idea of jesus as a god coming to earth came out of egyptian mythology and that there is no real archeological evidence that jesus actually existed.
