PS May I suggest looking into why Yahweh personally slaughtered
70,000 innocent men after David disobeyed him by taking a census
1 Chronicles 21
:0)
actions and consequences of lot’s wife vs. actions and consequences of david.
genesis 19 talks about how sodom and gomorrah were destroyed.
david under any law: yes, under the law of moses crime: adultery and murder consequence: nothing but blessings from god.

Your question of course can only be answered by someone who believes
in a God of justice
But primarily by someone who believes that the Bible is more than a
collection of fiction
I suggest that if you start to collect a number of these incongruities
You might want to revisit your position on points one and two
In the meantime, much success in your theological journey
The search for El Shaddai :)

i cannot think of a single doctrine that is so clearly laid out in the bible that every christian sect teaches the same point.
are there any doctrine where there is total consensus amongst all christian religions, including jehovah's witnesses?.
Regarding neutral gender I have developed the following:
People are "neutroids"
Instead of he and she for instance we have "ne"
"nim" instead of her or him
Etcetera
There is a petition in the lobby as you exit

to show respects for the older bro who died.. first thing i noticed.
the noise!..
jw never learn to sit and do so quietly.
No one cries
My mom was jacked up on pharmaceuticals at Dad' funeral so she
wouldn't cry
They generally believe that crying shows a lack of faith
:(

For my Dad who was in since 1950
Bro forgot his life info/story
So just the propaganda part
No apology
Crap thing could've been for anybody,
Family friend came up to me after and said
"This is wrong Tepid, you should go up and talk about your father!"
Considered it but I was a little distraught to gather everybody
back together and give an impromptu talk,
This "Thing" dehumanizes
It's sick,
An important reason that I'm out!
I know we all have our stories here
Thanks for listening to one of mine

while growing up in the cult one thing that always bothered me was the way witnesses could forecast jobs/occupations that we're going to vanish in their new world.. for example, we would usually discuss at saturday night wt studies how doctors, nurses, funeral directors, and soldiers would go the way of the dodo.
i always found discussions like that just so strange.. in hs, i mounted an unsuccessful effort to enter veterinary sciences, the big answer was always "why" it won't be needed after armageddon 😝😜.
does anyone have their own story about professions that the witnesses believe will not be needed after the big a ?.

beardless jesus in watchtower publications between 1930s and 1960s.
a simple detail 'deliberately' left out.
the question is why?.
Well look,
The man could raise the dead!
Why would a little miracle electrolysis not be within reach?
Have a little faith!!

Oh also Rutherford hated beards too, he would 've given me a trimmin' he
would, Tepid unless you lose the unsightly facial hair, you will not, I say
NOT be allowed to clean Lord Rutherford's Master Toilet in San Diego,
now scamper off!!
ARRRRRRR!!!
does anybody know how jehovah's witnesses reconcile the contradictions between the stories of jesus' birth as found in matthew and luke?
when i was a jehovah's witness, i wasn't even aware of this contradiction; i simply thought that all of it happen—namely that there was a census (luke 2) and the slaughter of the innocents (matthew 2) simultaneously.
but at the time i didn't know that the census took place in 6 ce and that herod the great died in 4 bce, thus placing those birth stories 10 years apart in time.

I await your thesis
