Despite the doubters, you are correct. The watchtower society draws much of it's materials from these sources and investigates the materials before using them in it's studies. People throw away a lot of information that is accurate when they throw out these magazines. Then they deny what they just pitched out! Proof of this is in how many preachers willingly use our materials in their sermons! We don't mind, the materials are for public use, and study.
God uses many strange ways to set us free. He said, "they will have to know that I am Jehovah!"

Once again a statement without any backup evidence.
My turn...
Did you know that historians have called the Bible the least accurate book ever???

Wow!!! Historians can't find squat to prove it...You're leg is being pulled...Try Anthropology , Nothings there that they can really prove.. The world and its people were living and dying, working and well before Adam and Eve in the so-called Garden of Eden was written about... You all are trying desperately to make this bible and all it allegory's absolutely fact..Good Luck. It's a Fairy Tale Joke on Humanity.

You are correct.
I agree with the person who cited "Evidence that Demands a Verdict."
The interesting thing is... most of the information we know now (in text books) about Alexander the Great comes from a biography of his life which was written about 400 years after he died and is considered to be highly historically accurate.
The first of the gospels written about Jesus was only written about 30 or 40 years after his crucifixion, meaning all the eye witnesses whose testimonies the gospels are based on were STILL ALIVE.
No one questions Alexander the Great's accomplishments... so why do they question a provably more accurate book about Jesus' accomplishments and lifetime?

Do you know why that is? It's because it's been edited so many times thorough history so when something happens they can stick it in there and then point at it and go "Look look the bible said it was going to happen and it did oooooh" The bible might be historically accurate but as a source it's incredibly unreliable partly because it's been edited so much partly because it contradicts its self so many times.

Well of course it is. The few people who don't believe make the most noise about it. Christian artifiacts including the bible are put through very in-depth testing (carbon dating, etc.). The reason they are put through these rigorous tests is becaus people no longer want to believe. They'd rather live how they want & have no consequences. So sad. I hope all of you are still laughing and smirking when you die & St. Peter says you're not on the list to get in because you didn't believe.

How would they know? Just wondering. But I agree; I believe the Bible is historically accurate.

Did not know that....you can take excerpts from the bible and interpret them five different ways from Sunday.....I guess , in a political sense you could call that accurate

Historians, huh? Which ones? What are their credentials? Which journals do they regularly publish in?
I thought not. You are just another bible thumping fruitcake, most likely.
