was noah under the law of moses? huh?

by sowhatnow in

im confused, a poster for the whole mamoth elephants and ark deal going on, with a gizillion pages, .

quoted genesis ch 7 about him bringing 7 clean animals.

and only two unclean, well i thought it wasnt till moses came along that all these requirements were done, so noah was under the law too?.

but did not noah after the flood had the right to eat all flesh?

what were clean animals and unclean animals before the flood and why? I did not think there were israelties before moses. noah shouldnt have been under any law, he was alive when the nephelem were messing around with the women.

what now?

huh huh huh?

anyone read candida moss book how early christians invented.

a story of martydom.

the romans did not terget, hunt or.

sowhatnow

but jews and christains were different. jesus condemed the jewish pharisees. jesus supposedly wasnt a jew by birth. he was maybe raised by one jewish and one israelite maiden? i also read there were no such peoples as israelites, they were named that later. who knows but i hope for the sake of humanity were all wrong and no one was persecuted.

Mormon students protest beard ban

by designs in

in another sign mormons are feeling an opportunity to express dissident views to the church heirarchy students at byu protested the ban on beards.

calling it an antiquated position.

I always felt bad for the men who did not wear beards who would have looked way better with them, lots of jw and mormon young men quite franlky look too young and maybe perceived as gay, when they dont see them with girls , men with damaged skin, no chins or fat might look better with a beard,

and OMG YES PLEASE PLEASE let women wear dress pants! hide those horrid dried out veinny blubbery cellulite riddled legs and ugly feet!

2014 AGM announcement rumour

by yadda yadda 2 in

from barbara anderson, former watchtower headquarters researcher and writer, on another recent thread:.

it is expected that at the 2014 annual meeting, usually held the first saturday in october, will serve watchtower leaders well to cover-up all the 100-years of prophetic nonsense.

rumor has it they are going to celebrate their 100-years of announcing the kingdom in an adroit way by featuring a move of "great" significance to do with the expansion of the governing body to an "apostolic" 12 or some other fantasy idea.. .

the reason i started wodering about all of this crap we were taught was because i asked my mom where does it say that women are of the 144,000

in the bible. she told me it was in acts. the first two chapters. nope, not there I said. and so on it went...

Plastic buckets in Paradise

by Sour Grapes in

i remember one picture of a pretty little girl holding a plastic bucket in paradise next to a tame lion.. i asked my wife if there is going to be polution in paradise?

of course the answer is no!!!!!..

i asked her where did the plastic bucket come from?

I was told once by an elder, who was probably age 50 at the time.

that all the things we have now will be used in the new system. God is not a wasteful God, he will not destroy buildings because we need a place to live, we will still have a bankng system and stores because until we re -learn to go back to the old way, we will still need to have money. we will still have cars, we will need to get around. [although at the time we did not have internet and satilite dependant communications].

and the people who come back to life will need a place to live. and we will still meet at kingdom halls.

however what he failed to explain was how we were going to do that if more than half the population of the planet was going to die. who is going to run the

power grid ? whos harvesting? whos planting? ect ect. armageddon cang be too close, becasue with only 7 million jws, half of them children and a fourth of them old, theres no way they could survive in a world like that. it be like noah all over again.

as for that picture,

lol, I told my mom that in jesus day there is no way they went door to door, as 99 pervent of the population couldnt read or write. not to mention

everyone went to the temple. when they could so they can be read to.

in fact I doubt that apostle paul could either--- see what big letters i write with my own hand-----[ woo weee I WROTE letters!]

to prove it was really him saying it and not titus.

so that picture in the wt is impossible.

Am I the youngest one on here?

by Capstone in

jw
friends

i finally registered on here after reading on the forum for almost two years on and off (more often the last year).

to give you some background on who i am i can say that i'm a girl in my late teens and live in western europe.

my mom is a jw and my dad is not.

sowhatnow

be glad that you figured it out before you too became a wt slave.

your mother oddly is forgetting a talk given a while ago, that mentions that if our children decide to not go to meetings its better to not make them feel unwanted or evil, invite them kindly, and even if they turn you down not to make an issue of it.God will take care of them and find the good in thier heart and like a prodigal son will return.

yea, right, the prodigal son returned becasue he was hungry, not repentant. lol

I never forced my kids to go to meetings, my mother did that to my brother and me, saying little things to make us feel guilty for not going. she still says things to my sister becasue she isnt living the life my mom thinks she should be, so she tells her shes demonized [shes got tatoos] and worships satan.

yea real christain huh? we tolerate it because shes 73.

your mother also is ignoring the bibles advice that she is to make her husband a priority in her life, and her children, apart from religion. and if he says its ok for you to not go to meetings she should support him. dad has the last word. kill her with kindness, tell her you thought she did a good job at being a mom so how can you be all that bad?

but dear, do not go moving in with a boyfreind just to get away from an uncomfortable situation at home. move into your own place. be independant. it builds character. keep dating till your really really sure you got the right Guy. you could be going from one bad situation to another. i know a lot of women who left the jw faith and becasue the men they married knew they used to be jws, used it as a reason to expect obedience, and then emotionally abused them. you want to avoid that.

take care!
