  The Battle For God

  by Shakita in

  i have been reading a book by karen armstrong entitled: the battle for god.

  in this book she relates the history of the big three religions, christianity, islam and judaism from about the 1400's to our day.

  i highly recommend this book for everyone here to read.

  I recommend all of Karen Armstrong's books. Very eye opening, to say the least.

  i sent an email to my brother about a new truck i bought and got a reply about how the end of this system is so close and i should really return to jehovah.

  as far as going back to the meetings, no thanks.

  i've had my fill of having my life ran by a religion.

  Nice letter, HB. But you know that you will be labeled an *gasp* apostate. All the things you list that bother you are exactly the buss words the elders are watching for to label "apostate".

  I hope you can crack your family's foundation, but don't be surprised that they start shunning you. I found in the past that one thing dropped at an interesting time may help people listen. Too much info overwhelms and labels are applied.

  Just my 2 cents.

  My hubby & I donated CoC and ISOCF to our local library. We told them it was needed in the area. They put it up on the shelve right away.

  We also donated a copy of both to the library where my parents live. They sold them at the next library sale.

  Be sure they will put them on the shelve.

  And welcome to the board.

  how sorry i was to hear from dansk-he is going through a very difficult time.. i would like all prayers, thoughts, please keep this in mind ____ for me!!!!.

  the sad news he has cancer.it is lymphoma!!!

  they are waiting on the results of the biopsy before determining treatment..... he didnt want me to say anything at first- as he feels you all have your own problems & he didnt want to upset anyone-because he says "they are dear friends".

  Court Reporter & Dumb Lawyers

  not sure if this has been posted before, but it made me laugh .

  these are from a book called disorder in the american courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.. .

  q: what is your date of birth?.
