This book can literally be used to fit whatever agenda you have! You can pull a scripture from here or there and apply it to what you want to do or what your agenda is. I can't believe I never noticed how bad this was within JW. Now when looking at any religion I see it.
Your can have an evil agenda and use the old testament as fuel to do so. You can take a loving approach and use the Greek scriptures. I just don’t get it.
Yup. You'd think if god wrote it, he would've made it a little easier to interpret such that there wouldn't be 40k different denominations, each with their own doctrine.
Have you never heard the old saying: "The bible is like a fiddle, you can play any old tune on it"?
It's evidence of "god's ability to clearly communicate with us" and provide us with instructions don't you know!
'God had two great decisions to make, forbid Ham or forbid Slavery, he chose ham....'
The end part of the bible supports organized religon but I can't see how organized religon can be possible because of how many different ways it can be viewed.
I just can't see God or Jesus supporting organized religon if they're real and yet the end of the bible establishes it.
@design - Haha! I never actually thought of that! I think you could use that saying a lot actually.
I just don’t get it.
From reading your opening post I think you do get it.
The bible as it is written has been used as vehicle of exploitation for men to pursue their own agenda of self
empowerment. They all proclaim that they have the true interpretation of the words in the bible yet interestingly they all say different things
from out of those interpretations.
The WTS. used the already structured belief in the bible to promote the proliferation of their publications, cherry picking out only supporting Scriptures
that they could manipulate to their own means and utilization.
.
Religious leaders such as the Heads of the WTS. are self supporting opportunists out to create power and control for themselves and they
accomplish this by exploiting people's own fears, insecurities and ignorance.
It is not surprising that you see much of this deceitful corruption in religious charlatans in the selling and marketing of their products to the public.
Most people don't know that the bible has nearly 100 contradictions in it and the story of jesus from gospel to gospel doesn't lineup. So yeah you can make it say just about anything you want.

Congratulations, you've passed the audition to join the governing body. Please pick up your wine & crackers on your way into the boardroom.
