JB and the JWs: Books Read, 2007 to Present
http://jbandjws.blogspot.com/2010/01/books-read-2007-to-present.html
JB and the JWs. Friday, January 8, 2010. Books Read, 2007 to Present. I figure this is a decent place to keep a record of the books I read. I have a file on my own computer where I do it, but there's nowhere online where I have the exact same list, all in one place and in a single posting. So, since the start of the year 2007 and in the order in which I finished them, I've read:. Social World of Ancient Israel: 1250-587 B.C.E. By Victor H. Matthews and Don C. Benjamin. The Kalam Cosmological Argument.

JB and the JWs: November 2009
http://jbandjws.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
JB and the JWs. Monday, November 30, 2009. And it came to pass that, when Admetus finally arrived and we opened the session with a quick time of prayer, they wanted to talk about revelation, and although looking forward to my final questions, I was happy to let them. It started out with a reading from. Was given in response to this event. Cowdery, they explained, failed in two respects: he failed to do the necessary legwork for receiving the gift, and he failed to bring the matter to God first. This seem...

JB and the JWs: February 2010
http://jbandjws.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
JB and the JWs. Friday, February 26, 2010. Spiritual Roots of Human Relations. A major concern for INTPs is the haunting sense of impending failure. They spend considerable time second-guessing themselves. The open-endedness (from Perceiving) conjoined with the need for competence (NT) is expressed in a sense that one's conclusion may well be met by an equally plausible alternative solution, and that, after all, one may very well overlooked some critical bit of. Doctrine and Covenants Compendium. And rea...

JB and the JWs. Saturday, July 18, 2009. JW Study Meeting #22. He also tipped me off to some eBay sales, including a Watchtower Library disk from 2005 for just $10 SH, which I just ordered. (In the meantime, he also told me a clever tale from a seller's standpoint. He noticed that for some reason a lot of stuff by some guy named " Ed Hardy. He still didn't fluster me as much as I flustered him a number of meetings ago.). Links to this post. Saturday, July 11, 2009. I'll send Uriah an e-mail later saying ...

JB and the JWs: June 2009
http://jbandjws.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
JB and the JWs. Saturday, June 20, 2009. JW Study Meeting #21. Our next meeting was today, and so Sarah was around for it as well. The reason we skipped a week in there is that Uriah had to cancel because a Bethel speaker was coming to the Kingdom Hall. I couldn't make it to that, unfortunately. Also, I mentioned how I'd heard that one of the books released will be a commentary on Acts, and we both agree that that'd be sweet. And had some fun discussion in circles (which was a pattern that was to mark th...

JB and the JWs: Why Carlos Woke Up
http://jbandjws.blogspot.com/2010/03/why-carlos-woke-up.html
JB and the JWs. Thursday, March 11, 2010. Why Carlos Woke Up. I've decided to write a reply, of sorts, to a post I ran across a little while ago on another blog. That blog, the Jehovah's Witness Blog. About what finally drew him away from Jehovah's Witnesses. (Carlos included a particularly entertaining scene from the comic strip. The first big issue is the reliability of the Bible's accounts of Jesus, and Carlos has this to say:. Site I got to watch a documentary called The God That Wasn't There. Read P...

JB and the JWs: October 2009
http://jbandjws.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
JB and the JWs. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. And it came to pass that, after Admetus led us in an opening prayer, we got started on pre-mortality. Now, to remind the reader, Latter-day Saints believe very firmly that each and every person existed as pure spirit for a great length of time prior to being born into an earthly body. Admetus and I pulled out our Bibles, and we turned to Jeremiah 1:4-5. 8221;), to which Admetus said that we clearly must have existed with God before this earthly life. To qu...
