i sure you guys can list others but here is a thought about the exodus story.
in chapter 1 the pharoah is concerned that the israelites are becoming to numerous.
and just as a side point we can assume pharaohs were not to dumb and even if they were the smart people of egypt studied in the temple 40 years and they studied all things not just religion.
to me,
Job was describing a fire breathing dragon in job 41.
and to this day, my mom [or anyone] has never attempted to explain to me where in the bible
where the idea women were of the 144,000, is found and supported.
or why in the middle of a
single scripture passage it goes from literal to symbolic...
unanswered questions, that got me on my way out.
i got a call from my mother-in-law the other day begging me to go to the hall this past sunday for a special talk.
i didn't go but was wondering what the deal is?
details please..
ask her whats so special about it...
oh that word, 'special' everybody's so special...
is the speaker 'special'? lol
say it over an over again,, sounds so dumb now ,lol ...
i have seen posts on several you tube sites stating that jackson said during his rc testimony that jw's don't shun, celebrating christmas is not a disfellowshipping offence, birthdays are ok and ones doesn't have to agree with jw doctrine.
i have read most of the posts on other threads while and after his testimony but never read any of this?
did he really say these things or is someone on the net just stirring up some bs?.
hmm, why he say,
'that is not my understanding',
and no one reply, 'well then sir, what IS? your how old? you have how many years experience to make religious rules ? stop avoiding the question! '
think about that statement... that is not my understanding... ,makes no sense to me.
sounds so immature and petty, and so obviously
evasive...
ok so now, if questioned, or accused, everyone should take a lesson , lol
'now [sister / brother ] you do realize your actions have led you to be in a position to be disfellowshipped...
lets just say ' that is not my understanding...'

someone please tell me how or if i can find proof that the rumor [that is pasted below] that was posted by a friend [still in, but should know better] on my face book page is false, [which of course we all know it is,] this makes me so angry, i have to stick my neck out and comment on this post but need something to back me up....anyone want to enlighten me where this got started?
i need proof he never said such a thing, it seems to me its false.
whats interesting is this, the bible in the photo accompanying the statement below is the latest version.... [photo].

RE-POST FROM JULY 2009:
Recently on JEOPARDY the answer was: "It's the most ACCURATE translation of the Holy Scriptures." No contestant replied so ALEX TREBEK said: "What is the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society" ~~~
i'm picturing a situation in which a savvy 12 year old doesn't like the house rules that mom's new husband has put into place.
or something along that line.
i can certainly agree that protection of children is paramount, but who protects the real victim in those cases?
Sure it is, it defies logic, something the bible seems to us to have lack of.
if you study the situation of who the two witness rule applies to and why you will find it did not apply to everyone.
this again, is a rule for the 'special' chosen nation, lol, not everyone else on the outside, we do not have to follow by the laws of a people we do not belong to, God never said we did. Jesus never said we did.
someone on here has a pretty good explanation of that whole biblical situation comes from.
based on information to be found at: http://www.csicop.org/si/show/when_dont_the_highly_educated_believe_in_evolution_the_bible_believers_effe/.
the bible-believers effect.
those who believe the bible is the word of god (bible believers) and those who dont believe the bible is the word of god (bible nonbelievers) differ in their beliefs that humans evolved from earlier species of animals.
lol, possibly, I sure feel a lot less intelligent...
and I don't believe any of it now.
never too old to learn? of course not, but it matters little.
I feel Im too old to gain any truly useful knowledge
to largely improve the years left of energy I have.
knowledge is simply a hobby in my life.
whats knowledge of anything going to do for me now? [except maybe the stock market,lol]
it wont add years to my life, nor make my life any easier.
maybe this is why some simply get by on what little they know. its too emotionally taxing.
