  Be honest post do all posters on this site believe the bible is 100% or has flaws?

  by booker-t in

  we in the psychology/sociology field have a saying "when people protest too loud usually they are overcompensating".

  i did not understand that when i first started studying psychology but now i understand it completely and it is so true.

  when i hear someone constantly bashing something or someone such as gay bashing or ethnic bashing or religion bashing sometimes i wonder what are they hiding.

  Why do "Apostates/exjws" always go into "Watchtower-bashing" when you show them inconsistencies in the Bible?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have noticed with "apostates/exjws" they always resort to "watchtower-bashing" whenever you show them inconsistencies of the bible.

  we could be talking about contradictions, such as where did cain get his wife if adam,eve, abel, and cain were the only ones on earth?

  the usual answer when they cannot answer will be "well the wt gave false prophecies in 1975".

  Do all Christians/JWs/Mormons really believe the characters in the Bible were good as gold?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one thing i have always felt even as a devout jws was that some of the bible characters were probably scandelous like anybody else.

  how do we know there was not a good amount of adultery, homosexuality, fornacation, drunkardness, wife swapping,etc; religous people always try to make it seem that some of these people slipped up a few times and was "perfect" forevermore until they died.

  how do we know peter was not in an adulterous affair, or that paul was not engaged in homosexuality.

  I am confused on the JW's 1000 year reign doctrine. Please explain it to me.

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have always thanked randy/dogpatch for creating free-minds because i always felt i was the only one that felt that jw's were teaching some nonsense.

  i admit i still think they got some of their teachings correct but one doctrine i think is full of bologne is the 1000 year reign doctrine.

  if jesus came into power in 1914 and now it is 2014 does that mean jws believe it will only be a 900 year reign?

  Posters do you know of any cases where a devout JW was DF'd for Lesbianism?

  by booker-t in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i think this is a hush hush topic among jws but i remember years ago at an assembly i saw two sisters(i am only assuming they were jws they could have been studies or relatives of jws) walking arm and arm like a married couple.

  some of the jws looked at them like they had horns.

  some of the jws moms were covering their small children's eyes and those two women were stared at like they had the plague.

  I just don't see how BAC's/JWs can get around the false prophecy at 2 Kings:1-4

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this post is mainly directed at bacs(born again christians) more so then jws because jws have set dates before whereas bacs have always claimed they are not "false prophets" like jws and mormons.

  at 2 kings 20:1-4 the "prophet" isaiah come to hezekiah's deathbed and tells him to get his affairs in order because "the lord says you will not recover and you will die".

  now if this is not a "thus saith the lord" prophecy then my name is not booker-t. then hezekiah wept and begged god to remember all the good things and his devotion to god.

  I get so tired of people always bringing up "Black on Black" crime.

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am responding to a post by someone the other day about a black girl beaten by a mob of other black teens for "acting too white.

  " the poster was trying to drive home the idea black people commit more crimes against themselves then white people do to them.

  while it is true some black people do insult other black people who they believe are trying to fit in with caucasian people, white people, hispanics, asians, and other races do the same exact thing to people in their ethnic group as well.

  Is taking a blood transfusion a "Disfellowshipping or Disassoication" offense?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i remember back in the day when i was a devout jw in the 90s elders would go to the hospital to try and see if a person took a blood transfusion.

  i remember my cousin was having surgery after a severe car accident and if he did not take blood the doctor said he would have died.

  the elder came to the hospital and badgered my cousin's wife until she told him my cousin did get some blood.

  How do BACs and JWs explain animals that practice "homosexual" activities?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i absolutely love watching the animal channel and just observing the animal kingdom has really brought up some serious questions for any devout anti-gay religions such as born-again christians(bacs) and jws.

  some animals such as deers practice lesbianism when there is no male deer around.

  i almost fell out of my chair when watching this.

  Im curious how long does it have to take for a BAC/JWs to say enough is enough?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering just how many years have to pass before a bac(born again christian) or a jws before they say enough is enough with no rapture/armaggeddon.

  i just feel sorry for them to just be waiting and waiting and waiting without any results.

  bacs have been waiting for the rapture for 2000 years and sometimes i wonder is it a mental defect or is it they just are so "blinded" and cannot see they have been duped.
