Friendly,Outgoing,Gossipy Elder's Wives.....,
by JonnieMae inhave you noticed that elder's wives are so friendly that they get a lot of information from the other sisters and go right to their husband (congregation overseer) with the info?
it's no wonder the elders seen to know so much.
do you seem to have a simular situation in your congregation?

Persuasion: Did we forget what we learned as JWs?
by larc inas jws we learned a lot about persuasion and how to get people to accept our ideas.
we had role plays on over coming objections.
we were taught how to anticipate typical questions and respond to them.

You make a good point. On the other hand, we arn't jws anymore. Most here aren't christian . So, we don't need to speak like jws or christians. We aren't evangelists. We have no responsibilities to convert anyone. Each can have his/her own standards. Are you trying to keep us to jw standards, just under a new name or no name? Come on. Jws have an obligation to meet jw standards. Christians, christian standards. What standards are there for agnostics or aetheists? They choose their own. Their natures determine their standards.
On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with civility, or high quality writing, or logical coherent arguement;).

Ladin is one ugly dude. I probably wouldn't save him or take his picture. Maybe i would give him a boot to help him on his way to paradise.

YouKnow is confused too. Jws have an ability known as mental acrobatics. This allows them to jump over problems in their belief system. YK is a champion at this. He is quite impressive. I'm serious about this, i used to do it myself. Take whatever he says with a grain of salt.

My non acceptance of most of the bible is another topic.
The nero inscription is vague. Does it use jesus name? I don't know which the superstition was that he introduced. My point here was to illustrate how little secular contemporary mention there is of jesus, that is, writings about him outside the bible. There is only a page or two, in total, at most.
I didn't mean to discourage you. I looked at everything without fear or faith. It was tough. That's it for me for now. I need to sleep. Goodnight.

Does Mara Bar-Serapion in his letter use either jesus or christ?
Remember too, that jesus died in about the year 30, so even tacitus and justin martyr are writing over a hundred years after the fact. As you mentioned, writings weren't as abundant back then. Were they writing from hearsay?
By the way, in a court of law, if there was a case about jesus, none of the bible would be admissable as evidence, because it is all hearsay, that is second person. Jesus never wrote anything himself. Niether did god, for that matter (tablets? they don't exist anymore).

Tacitus wrote about 115-117 ad
Phlogen about 80 quoted by origin about maybe 200
Josephus after 70
Justin Martyr 150-adI put all the quotes by the above together, and it came to less than a page. You have a couple more. Maybe it would fill one page and go on to a second page. Considering that he was supposed to be the greatest man who ever lived, it seems odd that that is all there is, at least to me.
When was lucien? Thallus, if he only mentions the darkness and not jesus, i would exclude.
Thanks

Well, you see, jesus only appeared to me one time. I would expect 2 more appearances to be sure. The bible says it takes 2 or 3 witnesses. How many times have you seen jesus? God?
