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.

Thier new Bible translations funny Scripture and how stupid they are.
by Crazyguy inif you go to their bible at genesis 18: starting at verse 3 you will read that abraham sees jehovah yep sees him, with a couple of other men (angel's) then talks to him about getting water to wash his feet.
then he runs to sarah and talks to her about preparing food for jehovah.
so let me get this strait abraham sees jehovah face to face, jehovah has feet and apparently likes to eat human food too.

Yes Jacob, Adam, Eve, Manoah etc.. The last three are Yahwist.. the Jacob fighting 'El' is Elohist and is a story made to explain 3 issues... The name Israel, Why Jews don;t eat a part of meat and also why Penuel was named.
I went through most of these issues the last 3 months on YT so they are still fresh...>>> Now for the WT
Yes actually and sadly JWs in the past felt the angel 'representing 'Jehovah was Jesus ... Jesus met abrham... etc... this is lost on present JWs though

Genesis 18 is part of what is called the 'Yahwist text'. Yahweh can be seen, make clothes, kill animals and needs to find people in that epic.
Verse 3 'Lord' ... the hebrew is Adoni.... However.... this is 'one of the 114 discrepencies... check out the footnote in the referance bible. The NWT and the RNWT believe YHWH belongs here.

I have doubts... can you help me??- A new idea
by HowTheBibleWasCreated ini have been perplexed as to how to brung my wife out of jws and to exit the religion... but i had an idea last night.
i know that elders will legitimantly meet with brothers who have doubts and encourage them... not df them .. this is a sheperding call etc.. thus since my wife knows i have doubt s i could say: i want to have two brother over to discuss this ... she will agree.... of course i will hit these guys with biblical textual issues, an biology to where they are stunned and still ask... "so brothers... can you solve this conflict...?".
in this case they will not think of me as an apostate but may question their own beliefs... .

Well update. I have talked to my wife about my doubts (Not really doubts... I know what the facts are) and she more feels sorry for me 'having no hope'... but I told her I won't change her views unless she wants me too...
She took it all well and there is no real problem. I'm still trapped into going to meeting/service for now... but I feel less pressure.
However I still plan to meet with the elders... I don;t care as much for the outcome now she already knows. I just want to pin them down lol.

by HB incaveat 1: those who believe jesus is truly the son of god may wish to avoid this post.
although my thoughts are only proposed for mild amusement and interest and in no way intended to offend, for some, the concept behind the idea may be an affront to preciously held beliefs.
if that’s likely to be the case, kindly just don’t read.

I would take a copy of the New Testament in Greek and expose Jesus to Pilate long before he got popular.
This is of course assuming Jesus existed.

Biblical clues to what God the Jews worshipped
by Crazyguy inrecently there is a royal bulla that was found in jerusalem, that of the judean king hezekiah on it was two egyptian ankhs and a wings sun disk.
there have been other artifacts found with that of the egyptian scarab beatle which relates to sun worship.
so does the bible give any clues to the god of the jews?.

Some likely did worship Egyptian gods. The Omrides worshipped Yhwh ...despite what the book of Kings tells us. But yhwh was one on the 70 sons of El and likely came from south of Edom...prehaps near Egypt.
Yes the Iao issue is easy.... before the Hasmoeon dynesty I dont think there was any issue whose god you worshipped. That one family of priests took control of religion.
We know certian houses in Israel and Judah in pre exilic timnes worshipped yhwh but not as anymore then a war god.
In the Persian era yhwh was worshipped however likely zorastrainism contributed to monotheism becoming norm.
The hellenistic era prior to 150 bce was a mixed bag likely. For instance the was astatue of moses on an ass in the temple in 200bce lol
