They seem more like a mainstream Christian religion more and more.
Perhaps they will start singing for complete strangers instead of believers.

TV Evangelism - Wrong, now Right!
by The Searcher inw86 11/15 p. 21 insight on the news - tv evangelismgods way?.
"if jesus laid such emphasis on this method of preaching in order to make disciples, why do many evangelists prefer tv as their medium?
the courier-mail of brisbane, australia, notes that tv evangelists make up to $120 million a year selling salvation.

Probably not a fair comparison. I agree they are trying to appear fresh and new to the rank and file but this is just a website that plays videos. It's not broadcast Telivision or a cable channel.

Does the bible have a central theme? Does it prove inspiration?
by GreenhornChristian indoes the bible have a central theme?.
there seems to be a general consensus throughout christian religions that there is a consistent theme throughout the bible.
the seeming evidence of a theme coming from a collection of books written by over 40 different authors over a period of 1500 years is what givse credence to the claim that the bible is an inspired literary work.

I like the idea of Grace too. But then I begin to wonder why some receive Grace and why some Don't qualify.
do not see grace as I do not see grace as a central theme of the Bible. It's a late addition.

Three Types of People and Their Destinies!
by Kalos in[christiansincluding jwstried very hard with their evangelism among the hindus, but did not accomplish much.
because the hindus are in possession of something better.
the actual name of hindus is sanatana dharma (eternal duty) which is defined as taking delight in the welfare of all beings (bhagavat gita 12:4, 20) hindus (which literally means those who live by the sides of indus river) is a superficial and geographical name given to them later.

Yes you can. God will not care. Everything would be happening as it should.

Spirituality without religion is practiced best by those who give spirituality and religion no consideration.
These are the ones who live as intended. Just being.

I just couldn't listen to more than 10 sec. of singing.
I have something rattling in my mind about a "theatrical spectacle"
i remember they once council end against praying in public and now they're doing this.

I'm fascinated at how the JW logo is white on the wall yet it's blue in the reflection on the floor.

what has been written that could not be true for any given century down through history?
It's not so much what was written but what was done with what was written that has caused billions of lives to be affected.

Terry,
i really like the example you provided with Ian Flemming. I'm sure there were many other writings of the period that were not preserved because they did not harmonize with there particular theology or motives.
Same thing happened with the New Testament when deciding what books to cannonize and which ones to leave out.
Finkelstein
exactly what hat I see as well. It helped them maintain there worldview. Even the so allied judgements were to take them back to their roots and core beliefs.
Crofty
and it seems that "inspired" scripture was not specific enough because as many interpretations can be had by an equal amount of readers. But once their convinced it's hard to have a logical conversation.

Any author writing a contemporary book would likely flop if he did the same.
I disagree. Look at political authors who openly criticize the American people of today while strongly
supporting there viewpoint of what the founding fathers meant when writing the constitution. It will
rally the people who agree with the message. the same holds true with the bible.
