Interesting article about the evidence of the Jewish Exodus
by cappytan in

the reality is that there is no evidence whatsoever that the jews were ever enslaved in egypt.

yes, there's the story contained within the bible itself, but that's not a remotely historically admissible source.

i'm talking about real proof; archeological evidence, state records and primary sources.

Quote about Honesty and lies of omission in latest Watchtower.
by cappytan in
1. jw
2. friends
jesus honestly identified himself as the messiah, even though his truthful admission could allow the sanhedrin to claim that he was a blasphemer and could lead to his execution.—matt.

will we be honest in situations where a slight omission or twist of words might bring us material gain?.

let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..
