    I get a few good laughs from the Ex-JW Facebook site: " Ex JW Humor Will Set you Free".

    I was laughing over dinner with 3rd Gen over this post tonight: "Question for the audience: I was driving around today and it hit me...there are big falsehoods (Armageddon etc.) that we were told, but also ridiculous falsehoods. What is your favorite RIDICULOUS falsehoods? I'll go first. Rainbows never occurred before Noah left the ark some 3 or 4 thousand years ago (somehow when light refracted off of water prior to that, nothing happened), and we were gonna have a paradise with vegan lions."

    Sooooo what are your favorite ridiculous falsehoods???? :)

    One I always found hard was there were no written languages before the flood. Or was it before Tower of Babel?

    I don’t think it’s clear but they were supposed to live for several hundred years before the flood and no written works were said to have been made.

    Probably the rejection of one of the main pilliars of the Christian faith - Justification.

    "being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him". - Romans 5: 9

    (See Wt. 1938 PG. 104-105 - "The… other sheep… are… not even justified“)


    How Do Jehovah's Witnesses Plan To Avoid The Wrath of God in Romans 5: 9 Since They Reject The Doctrine of Justification?

    Brothers constantly long windedly praying for the governing body in congregation and convention prayers.

    What a load of utter twaddle!

    Turning one scripture (Matt 24:45) into an entire belief system and thereby setting up the GB as some type of royalty.

    Remember when they applied this to the entire 144,000 still on earth?

    Humans have only existed for 6000 years

    A worldwide flood happened 4000 years ago

    Somehow kangaroos were on the ark and hopped all the way to Australia after the flood

    The mountains were pushed up during the great flood

    All JWs are ministers

    Elders are loving shepherds

    You don't need a college education, just learn a trade and you'll be happier

    No need for retirement planning, the end will come before you reach retirement age

    I could go on much longer, but I'll stop there

    Don't they still believe that every animal will become an herbivore in the new system?

    All of the Genesis-as-literal-history stuff that was either officially or unofficially promoted…

    …almost all of which turned out to be cribbed from “worldy” creationists. 🙄

    TonusOH - “…Don't they still believe that every animal will become an herbivore in the new system?”

    These days, when an older idea they liked has clearly become untenable for whatever reasons, they say “we just don’t know”.
