Stupid memorial obsessions

by Simon in

all the different congregations around the world hold it at similar local times but they all effectively are at different times relative to each other ... so why does the time matter?.

why the almost superstitious "oh, it must be after sundown".

cause it's not sundown everywhere that second.. god knew the earth was round ... right?.

I Love TATT: Those places above the arctic circle in March/April have a sundown... In June they don't

Well I spilled it to the elders (elder)

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

an elder came over for a visit the other night (he couldn't get a partner) personally i consider him a friend and have revieiled many things to him an figured the tie has come to step out of this religion slowly.. well i finally told him i have no believe in the bible (other then the confirmed history in it) or god.

i did it slowly and tactfully and even non-agressive.. his response to learning i believe in evolution was that evolution doesn't happen now i respectfully disagreed and pointed out lactose and alcohol tolerance among the last thousand years as well as tibetian lung/hearts.

he refused to believe it.

Pete: Yeah had you asked me a year ago i would have tried everything to get her out, but following many examples on here as well as using some pschylogical reasoning I have realized this is a poor method... I will support her religious choice... but leave myself open to her questions

His response to learning I believe in evolution was that evolution doesn't happen now I respectfully disagreed and pointed out Lactose and alcohol tolerance among the last thousand years as well as tibetian lung/hearts. He refused to believe it. Sad.

He was sad because he realized I had proof...(or what he called... one-sided proof)*....But I firmly explained at this point I would not drag my wife down. He knows I support her no matter what she chooses. Also I explained I was willing to dabate anyone who left atheism and came to JWs.. he said he didn't know anyone...lol..... but would find someone. I said I would be happy to debate and have an open mind #

He left sad but not angry thus I partially accomplised my outing without a JC.

*One sided proof?... once I know of ERVS Chromosome #2 and other 28 points cofy mentioned recently what is to argue?

#Oh I have no problem with having an open mind to creation... but they must have 100% proof.

JW Videos

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

my belief is that the jw organization is moving towards video teaching.

at the last convention a mini jesus movie was created.

today watching the jw video on 'older ones' is the famous widow in the temple scene with the same actor for jesus.. are they slowly and carefully making a jesus movie?.

Some posters on here say the JWs are an old testament religion but these posters are not stuck in it like I am.

We are told from the WT to read ... the gospels... In fact that is where they told us recently to start.

Although many OT stories are in their videos on JW library the majority are of the sermon on the mount or some other Jesus teaching....

I think JW.org is going to not only complete their audio bible in few more years but dramatize the NT especially the gospels.

That being said the OT stories will be followed too... thankfully (Better stories) and the convention of 2016 will have this.

By 2020 I think the Public talk on Sundays will be a public talk via video or a story from the bible on the screen.

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

this evening at the clam the job video was played and then the stupid peer pressure video.

This evening at the CLAM the Job video was played and then the stupid Peer pressure video. This was not so odd. However on the last Elijah section pictures from the Imitate their faith book was place on screen to imagine the scenes.

As the meeting closed to the end song (a new song) a thought came to me...

New songs.... orcestrated...... videos and pictures part of every meeting.... what if....

I predict in two years to have the lyrics of the song to be sung on video screens. Withing five years I predict a karaoke style projection to help with singing. This is not far fetched at all.

Already only 40% of my hall used a wiritten songbook. Most have JW Library on tablets/laptops or smartphone (myself included). Why have songbook at all? Why not put this on screen.

Of course this can easily be followed by putting cited bible verses on screen. (Other churches do this all the time)

I see this all within 2-5 years.... The ending success of a dying religion

ten plagues of egypt explained.

by atomant in

lve been researching the ten plagues of egypt.saw a tv doco few years back explaining scientifically how they all occurred.for anybody interested simply google ten plagues of egypt explained.

sure is worth a look.cheers.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

I have dealt with this a bit... The Exodus account is two strands mixed together and at first there were 7 plagues.

The story is based on Manetho's History which means if you follow his sources it goes back to legends from early Egypt. Some of the plagues like thunderstorms, locusts, darkened skies, boils and a red river might go back to various events but .... these things happen everyday... no shocker there.
