Jealous Murderous OT Yahweh Jehovah really is Satan?
by Shanagirl in

2. beliefs
i would love to start a discussion (not a debate) with others that follow the gnostic writings from the nag hammadi library.

i am a believer that pretty much every belief has some truths and fallacies.

some say its a game of 'only taking what you like out of something'.....i say, its using discernment to find the 'pure nature' of what god would be and is.

British museum bible tours
by inbetween in

visiting london years ago i had the chance to participate on a bible tour arranged from bethel.

what i remember, it was one out of 12 topics, and a brother or sister served as a guide, showing particular objects related to bible accounts.. at that time, i was quite enthusiastic about it, thinking i learned something valuable.. .

now, being awake to ttatt, i wonder what real scientific value those tours served.. or rather it raises the suspicion, that those tours are for visiting witnesses in order to distract them from many other finds in the museum, that would disprove either the bible or their own theology.. anybody ever made such a tour ?.

Did You Ever Learn Anything From The Meetings?

i found the meetings to be especially boring from the late 1980s on.

before that, we actually tried to make people want to listen.

the meetings were pretty interesting.

My take on the meeting yesterday.

some of you are aware of where i'm at with this whole thing.

i still occasionally go to meetings for family reasons but my attendance has been lack luster at best.

i'd say i go about once a month if that.. i empathize with those who are wary of taking the ultimate stand for fear of losing their family.

Nothing More To Say
by Farkel in

i really have nothing much more to say, except to say thank you to all the people who have contributed to me in my threads and all the people whom i battled over the years.

the battles have been most entertaining and enlightening.

i've learned a great deal from them, and i've laughed a great deal from the idiotic attempts of fools to make a coherent argument (think "dubs").. it's been a roller-coaster ride for me over a decade and it has consumed a huge amount of my time.

Were you 'alive in '75' and how was that year for you?
by punkofnice in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was a junior borgite in 1975. i remeber looking at the calendar at work in october and thinking: 'armageddon isn't here yet.....and it doesn't feel like it will be here anytime soon either!'.

i was surprised that jehovah hadn't obeyed the superior command to bring the big 'a' as instructed to him by fred franz.

how dare god disobey the jw leader!!!!!.
