Great quote Phizzy!
I have always loved that one since waking up - it is SO true!
If a human committed the acts that are attributed to Jehovah in the Bible, we would rightly lock them up in prison!

Do you know MORE about the bible NOW?
by stuckinarut2 inhow many of us would confidently say that we know more about the bible now that we have ceased being jws?.
i know that i was proud to say that i was a "serious bible student" when a jw.
we boasted about how much we learned each week, and how we shared bible truths with the community.. but it's only after leaving, and really delving into a broad range of research, that i realise how little i actually knew!.

All media attention is a good thing in my opinion.
The more that the public sees, the less they are likely to give JWs at the door the opportunity to share their message - and that can save plenty of lives!

My father became involved with the JWs before that time. Yet he maintains that it was NEVER promoted or taught!
He even says it was just "apostate lies".
It is amazing how they can conveniently re-write history and their memory when it suits.....

Great comments. Thanks
Yes, I am aware of so much more about the bible, its compilation, origin, writers etc than ever before.
I am also so keen to use the very expression that the Society drummed into us: "When reading a section of 'God's word', ask yourself what does this teach me about Jehovah?"
Well, I did that, and it taught me that "jehovah" is not a very nice entity at all!
As you pointed out Dubstepped, that section about Lot (God's friend) is appalling!

Sounds like his cognitive dissonance was in overdrive trying to reconcile these sell-offs?!

Did the WTBTS really print this stuff?
by Giordano ini am not going to delve into the opinions and information provided by the good folks on this forum on matters of health and science in another post.
instead i want to make clear that the wtbts provided a fountain of information on this subject.
feel free to add any other misinformation you received.

Yes, we knew some cherry picked topics and sections...but were ignorant of many disturbing parts of the so called "holy word of God"
Any thoughts on this?
