okay, i posted this in a thread that got locked and buried.
since then i've been really busy and have overdosed on christmas music in the past week.
so, i'm resurrecting this "holy day" holiday that most people will unknowingly be celebrating tomorrow.
Tony -the- turd has graciously agreed to be Father Pantamus- if we promise solemnly -on our apostate word of honor - not to bugger him while he bends over to kiss his tight -ass- timothy- bottom; as a penitent gesture for his artless remarks on constricting lower- body-wear!!
Tickets to view this phenomenal contortionistic feat ,are available at JW.Org. First come first serve.
a wall is a wall, right?
question: what if each day a brick was removed and replaced with wood?.
the watchtower religion pretends to be like a brick wall built of truth.. however, each brick of truth been replaced with wood (changing opinion.).

one of the most important sources that we have for the most ancient stages of the religion of israel are some epic texts about the gods of canaan that were found in an archaeological excavation in a place called ras shamra (ancient ugarit) early in the twentieth century.
these epics reveal a very rich ancient canaanite mythology, especially in the elaborated stories of the gods el and baal and their rivals and consorts.
while, of course, the israelite branch of the canaanite group partly defined itself through the rejection of this mythology, much of the imagery and narrative allusions that we find in the works of the israelite prophets, the psalms, and other biblical poetic texts are best illuminated through comparison with these ancient texts.
Thanks Doug. I'll keep that in mind.
ok, since all the evidence and people/scholars etc, all agree that jerusalem was destroyed in 587/586 bce and not 607 bce.
how do the jw's get the extra 20 years, i understand the 2520 years and going back from 1914. but alot of the proof goes by adding up the kings reigns, and it gets you to the 587/586 date, do jw's simply add on a few years for each king, or is their a mystery king that ruled for 20 years that only they know about.. hhhhhhmmmmmmm.
hope my question makes sense.
Marked for future reference
i can't see that there's a posting about the tragic death of australian cricketer, phillip hughes last week.
he was an extraordinary talent, grew up on a cattle farm and, by all accounts, was a thoroughly decent and happy 25 year old man.. he missed hitting a ball bowled at him and was struck by it in the neck: the rock hard ball would have been travelling at about 85km/h.
the blow ruptured an artery causing too much blood to flow into his brain.
Horse racing seems to have had its share of tragedies too.Jockey Caitlin Forrest died in a fall in October in Australia and jockey Juan Saez died a few days ago in the N.Y. U.S.A. Puts a damper on sports. Tragically sad!

Thanks for the book title. Marked.
i have noticed with "apostates/exjws" they always resort to "watchtower-bashing" whenever you show them inconsistencies of the bible.
we could be talking about contradictions, such as where did cain get his wife if adam,eve, abel, and cain were the only ones on earth?
the usual answer when they cannot answer will be "well the wt gave false prophecies in 1975".
"...the Bible has been tainted to some degree by religion."
Nay sir! The bible has been painted to an exponential degree over the centuries. Looks like a 'tarred and feathered' job by ,,,what is it ? some 40000 christian dnominations!!!
i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.
