What proof do we have that Moses was a real person???

by jam in

i personally believe moses was largely or entirely mythical.

is because much of his biography, if not most of it, is tied to events.

that never happened, meaning that a historical moses could not .

Which laws are part of western cultures law codes?

The 10 commandments? Which version... Ex 20... Dtr 5....Ex 34

The Covenant Code Exodus 21-23 is put simply 3000 years out of date

The Holiness Code of Lev 17-26 is simply put the product of a sick mind.

The Dtr code of Dtr. 12-26 has maybe less then 5 parallels in modern laws and those are mere safety measures. The rest of that code is more of a Nazi authoritarian system

The other laws in the 'Torah' are sacrificial laws which if I satrted doing them would be arrested lol

by JWdaughter in

mortality sucks.

i dont know why this is such a revelatio to me.

I believe in a sort of pantheistic life after death. Sort of Quamtum Balance. However:

Before you were born ... you weren;t here. You didn't worry about it then

When you die you re not here ... You wont worry then

"Keep Seeking First God's Kingdom! Regional Convention 2014 - releases and info

by OwnAccord in

info from someone at the regional convention:.

(sorry about the format).

matthew 6:33 keep on seeking first the kingdom.

2 Corinthians 12 1-5 follows chapter 11 where 'Paul' is taking the role of a 'madman'. READ THE WHOLE THING! He is bragging. The 'man in paradise' is himself and this had a literatry relation to 1 Corinthians 15... his own revelation of Christ.

The paradise concept is from the Book of Enoch.

The WT has fools making this up.

Bible Atrocities

by Trapped in JW land in

i really can't wrap my head around how people can still consider god loving with such atrocious biblical accounts such as, 1 samuel 15, (god ordering the slaughter of amelikite baby's and children) 2nd kings 2, forgot the verses (god sending bears to maul 42 children) and many others.have you ever asked a witness or anyone elsewhat they think about these accounts?

what was their response?

i'd love to ask one, but unfortunately i'm still physically in the cult and i wouldn't want to raise any suspicions.

The WT is beyond stupid. Samson in Hebrews 11 is considered a man of faith.

Gamglimg

Vengenge

Lying

Unsanitary food practices

Marriage outside the faith

Animal cruelty

Deliberate murder to avoid payment of gambling debt

Self-defense which turn into murder 1000 men using a jawbone (If he killed a few in self defense thats one thing but after a few guys the others would have been running and he would have been chasing)

Suicide bombing (sort of)

I asked an elder what he thought and his answer was: "If your were and Israelite you would have been cheering!" This of course ignores the facts of chapter 15 where his own people betray him. It also shows a low sense of JW morality.

Now I find Samson story easy since I know it came from the Hercules story.

One more oddity and it's rather shocking is those two northern prophets of the 8th century are Amos and Hosea.

A-mos<<<< Mos?

And Hosea is very close to Hoshea // Numbers 13:16- And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

Hosea starts preaching right after Amos.

JW.BORG

by Separation of Powers in

funny how well that goes together.. interesting that several months ago people were fearful to bring their pc tablets to the hall for fear that others would judge them for their "showy display" now to see most everyone, even the tikes, with a tablet.

i can hear those little tykes now with the veruca salt voice of the old willy wonka movie, "daddy, i want a new ipad.

get me an ipad daddy!

This text is 100% Gnostic and 100% unreliable for anything to do with a 'historical Jesus' assuming he existed.
