there's a movie based on the Siege of Vienne and Sobieski's part in it. Fun move.

I agree, this is too long for this type of forum. It should find a place on a focused blog where readers expect something like this.
And it's his first post that isn't totally filled with logic flaws and false reasoning. There are some good points here, the best of which is noting the need to put things in their proper historical context. One of the few modern writers to do this when considering the Crusades - and to comment on the need - is Richard Fletcher in his The Cross and the Crescent.
Aqw is - in my critical opinion - primarily an autodidact. Nothing wring with that except that it tends to produce writers who stuff words in a shotgun and shoot them at the page. I'd much rather see articles like this but in a much more concise form.

I doubt he will get a response. I interviewed someone from the writing department. Among the things he said was, "We don't answer every letter we receive." But if they do answer, I'd love to see it.
A claim to divine anointing means nothing to them. Many claim that, and there is no way to prove it.

Uncle B tasked me with finding his biography, even a simple one. I've failed thus far. Can you succeed?

It happens to me on a fairly regular basis. It's just part of this forum - a bit annoying, but people are free to do it, and I wouldn't stop them if I could.

Vomit Eaters and Filthy Whores
by Sea Breeze inthe watchtower characterizes christians not affiliated with the watchtower corporation as vomit eaters and filthy whores: .
“how well they pictured the spiritual drunkards of christendom at the present time!
besides actual wine and intoxicating liquors, there are other things to intoxicate the priests and preachers in christendom so as to induce drowsiness in them, to make them reel, to confuse things before their religious vision, to induce them to belch out the vomit of spiritually filthy things” - w59 3/1 pp.

You left out the scriptures the WT cited. They explain the illusions. And I'm fairly certain that something from 1959 would have NO effect on committed believers.
That aside, I'm comfortable seeing Prosperity Gospel/Faith Healers in that light. Okay you can down vote my post now.

I don't see this as any sort of scandal. Have you researched the finances of other denominations? Aside from that, what adherents contribute is their own damn business. NOT yours.

Jehovah's Witnesses Are A Cult . . . Pure & Simple!
by Golden4Altar injehovah's witnesses are a cult .
pure & simple!.
the wickedness we see prevalent today among the jehovah’s witnesses can no doubt be largely attributed to the leadership of the organization, the watchtower society and it's governing body.

Don't pick on the original poster too hard; he felt the need to rant, even if it meant preaching to the choir.
