What an interesting topic that no one was interested in.....
Real, early Christian history and teachings. Sure, it does not have the authority of the holy scriptures, but it does have the authority of true and real history.
I read somewhere that there are over 30,000 pages of Church writings from the first 3 centuries completely intact.
I'm gonna start my history research and encourage you to do the same according to your conscience.

why do jws insist on still quoting from the old testament to back up some of their wacky ideas?
such as on blood, beards, abortion, tattoos, etc.
surely if the mosaic law code was nailed to the torture stake all of its parts were cancelled.
The hospital was one of the great achievements of medieval Islamic society. The relation of the design and development of Islamic hospitals to the earlier and contemporaneous poor and sick relief facilities offered by some Christian monasteries has not been fully delineated. Clearly, however, the medieval Islamic hospital was a more elaborate institution with a wider range of functions.
Fulltime student-This is the first paragraph from your link from above. This first paragraph indicates that Christian monasteries were first, doesn't it? Funny, you left that out
the jehovah's witnesses believe that jesus christ and michael the archangel are the same person, and blatently ignore numerous verses and passages within scripture which explain that both jesus and michael are two separate persons.this video study (linked below) goes into the intricacies of hebrews chapters 1+2 explaining how the lord jesus and michael are different persons, and looks at the qualities, authority and power at which the lord jesus holds and how it is separate from angels including michael the archangel..
Typical JW response to being confronted with facts are responding with gibberish. Just saying that because it’s true.
No disrespect intended to you and Nathan

In the bible, Jesus stated that he was God on more than one occasion.
Perhaps you've read that Jesus said that HE is the way, HE is the truth, HE is the life. Men must come to HIM to go to the Father. Or if you've seen me, you've seen the father.
Jesus didn't say look to my teachings for example [although he was a teacher]
Jesus said 'Come to ME'
All of the apostles accepted and taught that Jesus was God in the flesh. Known fact
Arch Angel Michael- Servant of the most high, but a creature like man...although, different from man.

I agree. Michael and Jesus are different persons.
Jesus-word of God
Michael- created by the word of God
what could you say to prove to a witness that they simply do not have the truth?.
If the WTS earnestly states that 'the great apostasy' of Christianity happened in the early 4th century, then how can they trust the bible to be the true word of God when the bible wasn't confirmed until the late 4th century?
Confirmed by Catholic Bishops no less!

Has there ever been a bold and specific WTS prophesy that has come to pass?
If yes, what?
If no, Why not?

Actually, things like hospitals, etc., came from Islam. They were miles ahead, as well as with astronomy, architecture, and mathematics, while the superstitious Christians were dunking women in the pond to see if they would drown, while the church was selling Indulgences, while Luther and Calvin were urging and praising the authorities for burning and torturing their religious opponents.
Thomas Wood wrote "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization" in which he details all of the things which are attributed , from real history, to the Catholic Church.
Where are you getting your info that says Islam brought these things to the world?
Part of our healing here is to embrace real truth and not be follies to more lies or erroneous teachings.

Doug Mason- Although I wasn't there to hear Jesus's words, I do trust what I have read. I trust because I have faith.
I have faith because [aside from the gift of faith from God,] it is reasonable to follow the crumbs from the early church fathers. They certainly wrote stuff down and more than one was a direct disciple from more than one apostle.
That's the church that gave the world the bible and told the world that it was the word of God.
This same church gave the world great fruits thru it's works. Things like a universities, hospitals, shelters for the sick, mentally ill, cripples, homeless and helpless. Far too many things to list here. No other faith, government, organization or dynasty can claim these truths. You may not like or even agree, but that fact remains true.
Jesus never said to write anything down because that wasn't the media 2 thousand years ago. Most people couldn't read even 200years ago, jeshe...Only a limited few could read and/or write.
Knowledge or teachings were spread orally. Jesus commissioned the apostles to go to all nations teaching all that he TOLD them, not what he told them to write.
You may think that it should have been writen because the WTS is a big publishing house, so I can see why you'd think Jesus should have written stuff down. But you're in error to think that's what should have happened.
At least that's my opinion. And my opinion says that
