Right. Say we're wrong about Revelatiuon- which no one but God completely understands.
I hpe you mom is asking that to get you thinking- but it appears you are incapable .
my husband and i (both born in jws with extended family all "in" except for one of my sisters who left when we did) left the church 5 years ago.

while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.
these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.
they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.
" Often the end result of a brother or sister doubting the Faithful and Discrete Slave or believing apostate lies, results in deep depression. Often this is caused because they feel suddenly lost. All they believed, often from childhood, is suddenly gone,like removing the crutches from under a man with broken legs. Now they suddenly just face death.No paradise.No eternal life. Nothing."
Very true of those who rest their faith on THEM- rather than God and Christ.
Only an idiot pretends there can be a large group of people with no pretenders or flaw.

Thanks, Viviane! I have big fingers- and the keys are little- and never saw that error!
The EVIDENCE is in how well our body (and all living things) is formed, and all its many parts that function TOGETHER. Combined with ecosyatems that have what the body needs to live, the design is obvious, unless blinded by emotion....

there seems to be an endless number of ways to show the bible is not devinely inspired but all of it seems so complicated.
anyone know any simple arguements for this?

It would take hours to consider and discuss so many points. Thus, IF one was serious, they would GLADLY consider one at a time.
Back later to see if there ARE any who WANT to honestly examine such claims...
