It's well written and makes interesting reading. He has a knack of putting familiar ideas in a new light that we may not have thought of before. I imagine it would fit the bill pretty well for what you have in mind - and you might well end up buying a second copy for your own library!The Third Witnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215930025342828429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-4557863237074632272010-08-19T20:38:08.089+12:002010-08-19T20:38:08.089+12:00Randy,

Ahhh, British Israelism, the proof that...Hi Gavin,<br /><br />Ahhh, British Israelism, the proof that the WCG was the One True Church as well as perfect justification to keep (at least a portion of) the old law. <br /><br />Thank God it was a bunch of bunk.<br /><br />On a side note, I recently found your review on Amazon for "Showdown at Big Sandy". From reading the reviews, it appears that Doudna goes in depth in his rebuttal of BI. In your opinion, how good is his rebuttal of BI as well as his expose' of the cult?<br /><br />I'm thinking about buying the book for my elderly mother (although I wouldn't mind reading it myself), who lives a couple of states away. Although she hasn't attended cult meetings in a number of years, she still believes a lot of Armstrong's crap. However, in recent years she has begun asking me a lot of questions about those errant beliefs which I do my best to answer over the phone. <br /><br />Since she doesn't have Internet access I've been looking for for a decent book to send her about the cults inner workings (as well as one that refutes BI) and this one might fill the bill. Your thoughts on the book (as well as any other suggested books) would be appreciated.Randyhttp://fromdamascustoemmaus.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-37182731479993077042010-08-19T00:54:38.696+12:002010-08-19T00:54:38.696+12:00I don't recall the Fijian witness of the gospe...I don't recall the Fijian witness of the gospel to HRH. So the gospel was preached to the Davidic family ruling Israel and the end still didn't come. I'm kinda glad it didn't. It saved me from becoming a sexless, thought-controlling dictator ruling my city along with a clique of other super-righteous insufferables all idolizing HWA sitting on the right hand of JC for eternity. :-)Neil Godfreyhttp://vridar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
