i was looking through the newest wt just to see what "new light" there is now.
i came across the questions from readers, and i was amazed by what i read.
from the may 15, 2005 wt, the question was "why were david and bath-sheba not put to death for committing adultery, whereas their newborn son died?
The thing is, stories like this challenge my belief in the bible, if I even still believe at all. It just defies logic and the WT explanations are usually more absurd.

I was looking through the newest WT just to see what "new light" there is now. I came across the Questions From Readers, and I was amazed by what I read. From the May 15, 2005 WT, the question was "Why were David and Bath-Sheba not put to death for committing adultery, whereas their newborn son died?" Pretty good question, I wondered how they would skate over it. Here's what they had to say, taken from the last paragraph.
"But we must remember that if the case had been handles by human judges, the parents as well as the unborn child in the womb would have lost their lives. The loss of the son might also have helped David to realize more keenly how displeased Jehovah was with his sin with Bath-Sheba. We can be confident that Jehovah dealt with the matter justly, for "perfect is his way.""
I read that and I couldn't believe the reason they gave! The innocent child was killed to teach David a lesson? Does that even start to make sense? What kind of a loving God would kill an innocent child to punish the parents?
How about my most likely scenario, David was King. He made the rules, pretty much no way the High Priest was going to drag him outside and stone him. And the child, I would imagine a pretty bad infant mortality rate for that area and time. Not uncommon for a child, newborn, to pass away. Just thought I'd share the latest WT gem. Enjoy!!
i have been reading over the articles the watchtower has published concerning neo-babylonian history.
the major consistent statement in all of them is that "everyone is wrong!
doubt and uncertainty is thrown upon all historical evidence.
There is so much archeological evidence that did-proves 607. One can only think, how long can they keep it buried? They seem to be doing a good job at. It seems that anything not-607 is very quickly brushed off and deemed "apostate".

how many of your mates married or otherwise chose to stay with the wt than with you?.
who has been kicked to the curb when they spoke against the borg?.
I'll keep you posted....but I could be in the mix. Seems I'm not a good spiritual head.............go figure.....

you know friends, as we struggle to stay strong in the truth it is with great pleasure that we present to you:.
not trying to steal jh's position as the master of photshop, but i got some tricks up my sleeve too.
Wonder if Rich could count the time??
have you seen bab-el-on the great?
she was here just a few minutes ago.. seriously, i was thinking back to the days of 1988 - when we first received the copy of the penultimate revelation book.
you know, the one with the red cover and the scary dragon pictures inside.. at that time, jw thinking was heightened to expect the imminent destruction of false religion.
Gary, Is that a real quote??
they took 15 minutes to remind us of the dangers of the internet.
be careful to whom you chat with.
make sure it's with "good" jw your chatting with, they said.. what they didn't say was, where the heck do you go to chat with a jw online?
Opps, I missed the meeting last night. I'll have to get the latest here...
the may 2005 km (us branch version) is a bunch of tripe.. in the first article, jehovah's day is near, the writers are feeding the r&f more gloom-and-doom-the-end-is-near.
the 3rd family article is family schedule-family field service.
the 4th family article is family schedule-the family study.
Interesting..so, which is it, 7 kings or 8 kings? This could be "new light" remember, the UN was never thought of as a world power. The world powers made up the "wild beast" and the UN was the "image of the wild beast" appearing to be but not a power. Waiting for the WT fluff to try to cover that one, but the R & F will just eat it up..."new light, we must be close!!"
i've been looking at past posting about the un scandal and was wondering what the r&f dub knows about the situation.. have they all been fed the line about the library card or has there been no official announcement and been dealt with only if particular publishers bring the subject up?.
is it an issue that has caused disquiet in the congrgation or is it still not known to a great extent by members?.
