My sincerest apologies to the faithful, but the more I read (I've read it very carefully three or four times), the less I believe.
Sorry. No offense intended to any of you or The Big Guy.

I have never read the entire bible. I have read the book of Revelations for the first time this week. If the message is supposed to be so important why is it written like a bid ole riddle? Why wasn't it inspired to read like this:
I, God, require of you to do this that and the other thing. Plain and simple. Do things my way and you get to live forever. If not, then I will kill you, not once, but twice. Thank you for your attention in this regard.

No, - I have made a few attempts to read the entire Bible, but I always quit. I have also tried to read Moby Dick and failed at that after 3 or 4 tries, too.. I just don't appreciate great works of literature. I guess that the WT mags are just the GB's version of very bad Cliff notes for the Bible.

About 5 times, one of those times I actually stuck through the Chronoicles. Once was enough for that, and I skipped large portions of it on subsequent readings. In reading it I came up with alot of questions and many weren't answered, but I was taught to just forget the questions and move on.
