So why do you go against the Watchtower and come to this site and knowingly engage apostates?
What will you do when the Great Tribulation Begins?

you were never a Witness, so you can't be apostate right?

According to your research, is the Bible COMPLETELY not God's word, or just partially?
I find your question weird but I will try to answer. First you must find out how what you call the bible came to be. There are many nuance to your holy book. I believe that it is completely the work of men. But if you believe that some parts are from god how would one determine this?

Take for example the fact that the Bible teaches that God is the Grand Designer of earth. to say that this is biblical rubbish there would have to be irrefutable proof.

Malkiel, although I'm not a JW anymore - I don't have any hard feelings towards the people. Just the Society.
Don't forget my other questions:
Let me ask you this simple question: Do you KNOW you have Salvation? If so, how?
If you left the WTBTS ... would you still have your Salvation?
Forgive me - one more thing ... what is your feelings about the WTBTS being associated with the UN for ten years?

I still don't completely understand the point you are trying to make but the way I see it is that there are some things in the bible that are true and can easily be proven but other things are not and can also be proven. Some things in the bible are completely inaccurate, morally questionable and some things contradict each other. How can a perfect loving god get things wrong?

Bible timeline:
Global flood destroys all humans except Noah & family. (2300 BCE)
Nimrod
Language explosion & dispersion of humans.
Egyptian civilization develops
Reality check timeline:
Egyptian civilization is alive and well with written language, engineering and agriculture capable of sustaining large slave population, resulting in......
Great Pyramid of Giza goes up around 2600 BC.
Zero evidence of water immersion of the pyramids or Egyptian civilization.
That's just the tiniest tip of a very large iceberg of evidence that there was no world-enveloping deluge 4300 years ago.

the question is, do I have salvation?
the simple answer is - i want to have it and i hope Jehovah deems me worthy of it.
As far as the organization and the UN, i saw some info early on in this thread regarding that.
My answer then was the same as now. Look, Daniel and Joseph were loyal men of Jehovah God. They also held VERY high posts in Babylon and Egypt. Why? Simple, to advance foward Jehovah's Divine will. Their very own promotions within their respective kingdoms was made possible by Jehovah Himself!
