thanks to this legal victory, all citizens of russia will continue to have access to this excellent bible-education website..
Regardless of what each one of us may think of the JW's and the jw.org website, it's a victory for freedom of speech and freedom of religion and we should all be grateful for that. I'm all in favor that the authorities press the WTS to take a more moderate stance at other religions and more internal tolerance, but this is positive news, after all.

in case i didn't mention it...i was born into the disgusting cult of the watchtower(r).. i left when i was as old as 50 and went to a baptist church, then when i moved house to anglican and finally to a pentecostal church.. i now do not believe in 'god' of any variety.
i do not believe because i see no obvious evidence for a 'god' and only see what people have made of 'god' in their delusions.. ok. so, the question: 'what if you're wrong?'.
well, i might be wrong about a lot but if qi and mythbusters taught me anything it's not to be so gullible mcfly!

galaxie,
You may not take the jw view but if you claim to be xian there is no difference in the fundementals sin is seen as the reason for the worlds ills and in order to achieve salvation in whatever form you have to be SAVED
You, see, if you have read my article, you would know that I don't ascribe the world's ills (say, physical death, ilness, ageing, war ...) to sin. I only ascribe the alienation from God to sin. "Salvation" is simply our reconciliation with God.

:) You're a cool guy, punk, no grief taken.
No offence, but why the god of the bible? Why not the god of the koran? Thor? Shiva? the Annunaki? These are all gods that people believe in just as fervently as any Xtian believer.
I cannot give you a straight, "rational" answer to that question. The only thing I can say is that, once you weed out the post-biblical fabrications constructed around the God of the Bible, He remains as the most consistent of all Creator deities you can find on earth.
