All the indiscrepencies in the Bible show that he isn't even real. The Bible is just a book written by some dudes a long time ago, and is totally uninspired.
I'm with you Dustin. The more I dug into the Bible and it's formation the more I began to realize its inconsistancies, discrepancies and contradictions. I can understand people believing in a god, but why anyone wholeheartedly believes in the Bible is beyond me.
witnesses believe they are special.
the publications give many examples of how wonderful a witness was viewed upon by a "worldly" person.
kms tell of how so many praise the witnesses for being so "different".....what would you say is the real way people view jws??
I have yet to meet a single person (non-dub) that has thought they were "wonderful". Most have no clue whatsoever what the dubs are about or what they believe. They are just chalked up to another wacko religion like the Mormons.

God is truth, God is love, God is light etc....
Although this may be true of God, it is in direct opposition to "His" Book's description of him. According to "His" Book he not only violated his own Ten Commandments by killing individuals, telling people to lie, causing adultry, and ordering stealing, but committed a wide assortment of other despicable acts.
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?
Ezek. 9:6 says, "Slay utterly old and young, both maids and little children, and women...." and 1 Sam. 15:3 says, "...slay both man and woman, infant and suckling...." Deut. 21:18-21 "If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they chastise him, will not give heed to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city...and they shall say to the elders of his city, 'This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard. Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall purge the evil from the midst". Prov. 20:30 RSV "Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts". Hosea 13:16 "Samaria shall become desolate: for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up". Isa. 13:16-18 "Their infants will be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses will be plundered and their wives ravished.... Their bows will slaughter the young men; they will have no mercy on the first of the womb; their eyes will not pity children".

Not bad....for a Honda... lol Just kidding. That bike is one of the easiest to just jump on and ride. Honda really put together a nice bike with that one.
Sport bikes sound ok, but nothing beats the throaty sound of a KZ with a Kerker. I run Kerkers on both my Z1 and KZ. Of course, the first thing to do is yank out the baffle and throw it over the hill. lol
Sportbikes are nice, but give me a vintage KZ any day.
years ago, when my pop was on one of his "serving where the need is great" missions, we finished up living in yeovil, down in darkest somerset.
the meetings were held in a 2 story rented hall.
the kingdom hall was on the lower floor.
JWs are divided into various classes or categories. People who entered the Organization prior to 1919 and stayed loyal constitute the Mordecai class and the Naomi class. Those entering 1922-1935 are the Esther class and Ruth class. Together these two groups form the wise servant class. (w1972 2/1 85)
The defectors of 1917-1919 who formed organized groups are the evil slave class. The 144,000 are the heavenly class. The great crowd is the earthly class, Jonadab class, Ebed Melech class, etc. Christendom is the Edom class. Christian ministers constitute the swine class and the false Christ class and goat class.

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.
I came across a chronology list in the 1960 watchtower that has all of the kings listed....chronology up to 1926. Not lengths of reign, but all of the kings are there.
i always liked what richard dryfress said in the movie "alaways", when he found out he was dead---"wow!!
!-----what a jerk i turned out to be"!!!!.
my mother's head stone says---------"i told you i was sick"!!
Why would I have a headstone? I am not going to die.....the New System is so very near now...any day.....sooon.
But, I could get hit by a train or an asteroid or something before then. So, I just want to be cremated and dumped somewhere out in the woods...in the bottom of some creek or ravine. No headstone or anything....just sprinkle the ashes around.
