  The Israelites never escaped captivity.

  a major event accepted by christians, jews and muslims around the world is that moses led an exodus from the clutches of pharoah and egypt into the promised land.

  many doubters of this story conclude that this was merely a peasants revolt, not one led by some kind of god.

  fortunately, we have new evidence that suggests otherwise.

  that question is raised on page 709 in the "proclaimers" book.

  notice the answer the book gives.

  "because they believe and accept what the bible says as to the identifying marks of true worshipers.

  Is becoming an XJW like growing up?

  by ballistic in

  did your process of leaving the organisation and learning new stuff feel like growing up to you?

  looking back at your time in the so called "truth", do you think you were misled or even "naive"?

  even "innocent"?

  by Blueblades in

  .

  the wt.society forbids the reading of apostate literature.. they claim that all religions have apostatized.. they claim that the catholic church is an apostate religion.. yet they use the bible that they ( the church ) canonized during the face off of which books should be canonized and which ones should not.. simply put, how does the wt.society know which books are inspired and which ones are not?.

  Calling God By His Name?

  by shamus in

  why do jehovahs witnesses insist on calling god jehovah?

  would you call your father, dad, or whatever by his first name?.

  if we were created by god and he is indeed our "heavenly father", then would it not be blasphemous to call him by his first name?.

  my therapist says that i have post traumatic stress disorder.

  one of the many symptoms of this is hypervigilance.

  if i hear a sudden sharp noise, i immediately jump twenty feet in the air and scream.

  Jesus - was he just an exceptional teacher?

  by SM62 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been doing a lot of soul-searching lately.. i have never considered questioning the bible before.

  as a child, i was taught that to question the bible was blasphemous.

  but lately, since coming to this forum and reading all the various posts and links to other sites, i have started thinking really seriously about things.
