Wow, just been to that biblical errancy website. I can't believe anyone would think the scriptures were inspired after reading it. The evidence is humongous. Anyone still believing the bible needs to check that out. I'm blown away. Thanks googlemagoogle!
Praise (the real) God for the Internet.

Cheeseman - brilliant! I wish I could have been there! Next time I am in Perth I must buy you a pint!

Ezekiel, thanks for getting things started. However, I wasn't given that brochure. I need to go through the "Why you can trust the bible" pamphlet with a fine tooth comb. They are coming back expecting me to have read it. Points raised in the pamphlet are.
1) Does the bible contradict itself?
2) History and Science (shape of the earth blah blah)
3) Foretelling the future
I just need a couple of good examples to refute them on each of the points. What's the best contradictions in the bible? Is the bible totally historically accurate? I'm not a scholar so I have no idea what I'm talking about. Did all the prophesies in the bible come true? Best to keep things REAL simple for me, I wasn't blessed in the brains department. Thanks

Oh, I forgot the bit when she said Adam named all the animals. I told her man finds new animals all the time so Adam couldn't have named them all. I also added an example of how Adam couldn't have named the kangaroo because it was on the Australian continent at the time he was in the Middle East and he knew nothing about it. Pathetic.

It went roughly like this:
Them: Do you know that the bible and science are in perfect harmony
Me: No it isn't, science contradicts the bible.
Them: In the bible the water cycle was explained long before men knew of it.
Me: No it wasn't, it was written in the bible BECAUSE men knew of it.
Them: Here, the bible says the earth is a circle...that means it is a sphere, this was written long before men knew that was true.
Me: A circle is a 2D object...a sphere is 3D, not the same thing I'm afraid. Anyway, the ancient egyptians knew the earth was a sphere.
Me: One question...why did a loving God create the dinosaurs who ripped each others heads off.
Them: We're not sure but we think it was to clear the earth of vegetation before Adam and Eve came (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!)
Them: We do know however, that the animals were to be in mans subjection and eat straw.
Me: How could the dinosaurs be under man's subjection when they were here before man was?
Them: Well the dinosaurs weren't but the other animals were.
Me: And what about the lions...do they look as if they were designed to eat straw?
Them: Well, we believe they were (hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!)
Them: Anyway, please have a look at this pamphlet (It's the "Why you can trust the bible" pamphlet)
Me: OK, do come again...I'll read the pamphlet.
I can't believe they are sending people out in the field claiming to know ANYTHING about science. I'm no scientist but it was so easy to make them look daft. I'm going to read the pamphlet. I want to shoot them down in flames severely next time.
Does anyone have this pamphlet? If so, would you be willing to help me dissect it and highlight all the errors? I'm no good at scriptures. I wasn't a witness. I have no bible or any WTS material at all, so I need to be prepared. Cheers
What the f*** is goin' on captain!
Seriously, I'd ask why a mole rat has eyes but yet cannot see.
i am sure this is not new topic, but today seems to open the ???
, is he just a target because of his wierd behavier.. i want to think he is innocent????.
the press in this country is sometimes off the center of the subject.....maybr not representing the real truth....???.
It's a thumbs down from me. No smoke without fire and all that jazz.
as a kind of follow up to disciples post.
god cocked up, didn't deal with the sitch at the time.
now we have this mess...so how does he fix it given the current state of things?.

My take is this:
1) Make grovelling apologies to Satan and his minions for having created them with the ability to do evil and then blaming them for everything.
2) Take all murderers, paedo's, etc to a small island in the Pacific. Have them engage in brutal mortal combat for the pleasure of the rest of us, until every last one of them is gone.
3) Apologise to the rest of creation for his mess, restoring us to perfection, et al.
4) Promise to never make such mistakes in future
Now you try!
i will try to make this quick...... .
i have been with this wonderfull woman in a "relationship" for almost one year now (ive known her for 3 years).
she is jw and obviously i'm not, our relationship has gone almost exactly like many of the ones discribed here, hiding from parents, familly, church, etc.
Cynthia, I hope you get to read this. You don't know me and I don't know you, but before you stop reading, I can assure you that I am not under any demonic influences, so you can read this with confidence. If you truly love your guy then embark on a journey with him to find out the real truth. Now, ask yourself this question...
If the Watchtower Society has nothing to hide, then there would be no problem in asking one or two questions about them, right? After all, they would be able to answer them quite easily, wouldn't they?
OK, so before you dismiss evidence that proves the organisation is not the sole channel for God on earth, remember... it can do no harm to look and see.
Please just take a little time to ask all those niggly questions that you have inside. Talk about it with your man and please don't throw your relationship with him away. God would not want you to do this.
All the best for the future.

as part of the group was making its way from freedom ridge toward the little a-le-inn, we stopped briefly at the mysterious black mailbox, site of many ufo tales.
there, the word reached us from a departing visitor that two men in business suits were seen lurking around the campbell residence in rachel, still 20 miles away.
Wow, that's one hell of a covert Op. What's next? Crawling about in lagoons in frogsuits. Piloting helicopters on to navy vessels in the Gulf. They could sport caribou furs, snowshoes and do the Inuit run. Or even, a trip into orbit with a wee spacewalk to boot. Can't have those astronauts perishing up there while the stinky little earth burns up in the 'Geddon!
