is there any one scripture (or more) that really suprised you once you took the wt glasses off and just read the bible as is, without all the extra literature?
That's exactly what I told the JW's last week when they cam for their weekly study with me.
I believe that much of the trouble the world is in today with international conflict is due to people believing that God could somehow both be a war criminal (they justify the actions/approval using various excuses) and be good. Something does not add up here. How on earth can any moral being believe a good God could encourage and command such heinous crimes? Its beyond me.

That's exactly what I said to the JW's last week. They've been visitng me once a week for some time now for bible studies. The thing is, its most of Judaism and Christianity that believe all that heinous stuff in the OT is inspired by god - this is greatly responsible for the troubled times we are in in my opinion. We live in a world where so many people believe, essentially, that God is a war criminal and that he is good. Something just doesnt add up here. What the JW's believe here is small potatos when you look at the big picture.
