I'm not buying it! That people left the Witnesses and became Christians.
by free2beme ini tried it, could not swallow all the lies and misinformation they had.
i am sorry, but even if you deny the whole witness faith, there is still parts to christianity that they pointed out that you can not just ignore and act like it is okay to join another faith that is christian.
are you going to become catholic when your know their history?

The media are guilty of hyping the 'hoodie' story up. I can write and write and write about this Minimus, but all I shall say to you is this: End game of the illuminati.

The pope has a golden bathtub which is engraved with astrological symbols. The Vatican is built on an ancient Pagan temple. The Pope knows the secrets of Christianity! A tomb in the Vatican lays waste to ancient literature that the Christian Church has collected which, if brought before the public, will destroy the church. His involvement in Secret Societies does not shock me!

Nice work. Lets see...
I believe the Bible to be the work of men, not of God. I don't think God had anything to do with the Bible, the Koran, or any other religious book. Many ex witnesses come to the conclusion that traditional Christianity was right all along and that the NWT is completely floored (which it is) but rather than believing in a different version of events in the Bible, I chose to examine the Bible to see whether it is worth believing in at all. A few points I'd like to add are:
The Jesus Myth. For hundreds of years before Christ, there were other Godmen, who were born like Jesus, Lived like Jesus and died like Jesus. Thats right...born of a virgin on the 25 December, rode into town on a donkey whilst crowds waved palm branches and died on a cross...to be raised again on the third day. An analysis of this can be found in books like THE JESUS MYSTERIES, by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy
The Bible goes against Science. As example, the Genesis 1 creation account conflicts with the order of events that are known to science. In Genesis, the earth is created before light and stars, birds and whales before reptiles and insects, and flowering plants before any animals. The true order of events was just the opposite. Likewise, the 7 day theory went for years without criticism until science disproved it. All of a sudden, those 'weren't real 24 hour days'.
Crazy legends. People view Robin Hood as a legend, but nobody really thinks he ever existed. With Biblical legend, people accept it as fact. The flood is one example. Somehow, all the animals boarded the ark in the 'selfsame day'. How is this possible? Likewise, the tower of Babel. They built a tower so big that God confused them and created languages. A true study of language says that languages evolved over long periods of time.
Daft Ideas. The Bible tells us that the Israelite population went from 70 million to several hundred million in a few years. Colossians warns us against 'Philosophy'. Jacob wrestled with God. God likes a drink, according to Judges 9:13. The daftest idea of them all? We are in this shit because a snake spoke to a woman in a garden.
Contridictions. The Bible is full of Contridictions. Who was Joseph's father? Jacob or Heli? Did Jesus baptize anyone? How did Judas die? He hanged himself.....or....He fell down and died.
There are many more. I cant bring myself to believe these fairy tales. I am sorry.

Yes, I agree, and besides that, the Bible speaks of the 'corners of the earth'; the Bible writer clearly had no idea that the earth turns on an axis:1 Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.” and lets not forget, in describing the temptation of Jesus by Satan, Matthew 4:8 says, “Once again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world [cosmos] in their glory.” Obviously, this would be possible only if the earth were flat.
We should not forget that for years Christians were saying that the days of creation were literal...until science proved them wrong.

Hi LonelySam,
Dont be fooled into believing that the dead sea scrolls are somehow the oldest set of scrolls which say that the earth is round. ). The Greek philosopher Pythagoras, who was born in 532 B.C.E., defended the spherical theory on the basis of observations he had made of the shape of the sun and moon... If this information was known by educated Greeks and Egyptians during biblical times, its use by Isaiah is nothing special.
