I started listening out of curiousity but almost fell down laughing. The guys speaking is one of the most disconnected speakers I have ever listened too.

Speaking of new scrolls... Does anyone notice the layout of the Kingdom Book there?^^^^

God's Kingdom PAST

God's Kingdom PRESENT - The bulk of the book progressing from more complicated matters of preaching the'good news' to congregational matters.

God's Kingdom FUTURE

Sounds like the WT is replacing the New Testament Past- Gospels+Acts.. Present Romans-Jude starting with the gospel preacing Paul to the congregational Petrine-Johannie and Jude letters. and finnaly the Revelation of the future.

Trust me this book will become important soon lol

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The Covenant Code Exodus 21-23 is put simply 3000 years out of date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

mortality sucks.

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

i a. not confident to blame it o my jw upbringing.

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

do they actually believe that if they tell you that you are "missed", that you will desire to return to the sheepfold?

F**k are thses morons idiots?

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

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.
