god would not say: “you should not eat from the tree of good and bad, which would make you like me” because through jesus he said: ‘you must become like me by imitating the qualities of sun whose only concern is giving (of light and warmth) which means having no expectation of anything from anybody’ (mathew 5:44-48) .

this also means we should have no human teachers because we can have answer to any questions by ourselves, through inference.

(pro 25:2) how to go about inferring?

the article says that the dead chickens are given to the poor but i was told that the chickens are thrown into the garbage.

(who could possibly eat a chicken full of sin?).

"Take my word for it chicken, this atonement-sacrifice business is a dead end gig. They only wind up 'eating your flesh and drinking your blood' once a year. The rest of the year, those Jehovah's Witnesses won't even admit that you exist!"

this is my first post and hopefully i can get some advice and input.

i have been actively involved with the organization for a little over 10 years now.

i began studying in high school, got baptized and my family fortunately did not.

Welcome Splane.................best of luck on your journey out of the religion. You are a young man with lots of possibilities ahead of you. Don't look back.......keep moving forward. A clean fade? I don't know if that's possible. Someone always seems to get hurt.

Adam and the Dinosaurs

here is a fascinating subject.

according to the bible , one of adam's first assignments was to name all the animals including the sea creatures and dinosaurs of course.

we don't know how long this took but, as all witnesses know, the time period is crucial in working out the timing of armageddon).

Was It Really Mental Illness or Was It The Demons?

by minimus in

we supposedly had more than a few “demonized” people in our congregation.

they would hear voices or feel internal punishment within their souls.

the answer was always—-these people were affected by the demons and they needed counseling!.

"We had a sister who was a demon-buster in our cong."- sparrowdown

I think you must have known my mother. She had a hand in demon-busting for awhile. In one case, she traveled out of state to help an old bible study of hers that was under 'relentless demon attack'. Just my luck, she brought me with her. She even called the Elder's to a meeting and explained what she was doing and how they should be the ones helping her. At any rate, we stayed the night in her house. Apparently, a 48 year old woman and a 16 year old boy were too much for Satan and his demons. They never showed up that night. Come to find out later on, the real issue came to light. Her much younger husband was having an affair with her 14 year old daughter.
