don't bother me with the josephus addendum.
i've already seen that debunked.. i am quite aware of the fact that the only evidence of jesus comes from his own followers who didn't even bother to write down his life for decades after jesus "died.
" don't know about you, but if i saw all that shit, i would have gone home and written three books about it that same day!.
The rest of you are either trying to hijack this thread with your own bullshit or evading the topic that I started.
I see NO genuine evidence that Jesus even existed, and I didn't even ask anyone to produce evidence that he did all those miracles that his followers waited 30 to 50 years to write about.
Talk about bullshit...

:Main article: Tacitus on Christ
:In his Annals, in book 15, chapter 44, written c. 116 AD, there is a passage which refers to Christ, to Pontius Pilate, and to a mass execution of the Christians after a six-day fire that burned much of Rome in July 64 AD byNero. [30]
I asked for eyewitnesses, not people who wrote about it 70 years later. That would be 3 generations later and that would not qualify as "eyewitnesses."

My evidence is based on faith and it's evident from all you said in your post that you are without faith. It must be sad being you, too.
IF you had proof (obviously you don't) you would chew nails. Since you dont' have proof then start chewing those nails.
You said:

That is not evidence, you twit. That is bullshit based upon more bullshit.
:and it's evident from all you said in your post that you are without faith
Yep. That was the whole point of my topic.
:It must be sad being you, too.
Are you are saying that I must be sad because I don't live in Fantasyland(tm)?

The best "proof" I've seen so far is faith, ergo there is no proof so far.
The bullshit in this thread is piled higher than the sum-total of Watchtower lies.
But thank you for sharing, bullshiters.
A "Jesus" may have existed but not the Bible "Jesus." God may also exist, but I don't think "Bible-God" exists, and if he does, I offer my middle-digit to Him.

Give me ONE single referernce of a Roman or anyone else who wrote down anything about the existence of Jesus who raised the dead, fed thousands of people with a few loaves of bread and a few fish, who walked on water, who cast out demons (at the expense of poor little piggies), put a severed ear back on a guy's head and restored it or any other of those "miracles" he did. Or how about the women wo had menstruated her entire life since she was 2 years old and he cured her? (Ok, so I exagerate) Surely, SOMEONE who was NOT a follower of Jesus must have witnessed some of that.
So where is there written testimony of the existence of Jesus?

so as you get farther along in your pregnancy and you get bigger and bigger, certain bodily functions are hard to control.
the other day my husband, son and i went out for a nice lunch.
we were dressed up and really enjoying ourselves, when it happened.
There are NO embarrassing stages of pregnancy, only magical ones. Forget the small shit and look at the overall miracle of it, which is the most amazing event in life.

: Oh, for gawdsakes, BOTR, you idjit... give it a rest , for once in your isolated, pitiful life. Under THESE circumstances, at least. Take your neverending, puerile, asinine beef with me elsewhere, dammit. This is NOT the time... nor the place. THIS thread is about dear Oompa so grow the frick up, woman.
:SA, who, like most here, is in a bit of shock right now and so subject to post just about anything to just about anyone (including, "Hey, there, dear, dear Beks-Girl - the greatest love and peace to you, dear one!")... on her own ('cause my Lord KNOWS I need to be to deal with BOTR's silly *ss, right now)
It's bad form to give a prick like BOTR publicity it doesn't deserve, you know.

.. and all revelations stuff... it reminde me of the society ... when travis said to dr. gellar.." look at all the people they're all dead!
yikrs to familliar... so it did make me look to one of the only wts books around here..it's a red one... any way look up two witness in it .. cuz these two serial killers think they are... two paragraphs i new it was bs!!!.
back to dexter.. any way would love too talk, no one i know has showtime... face book page has two many people, although i did make a friend in aus, downunder..during season 2.. and i had some killer comments that got masive likes .. on requested takes... murder scenes from revelations.. where the killers were going to bring about the end .. by sacrifices.. murders.... so any one love a serial killer named dexter like me... i liken myself to him, it was how he has a dark passenger.... will talk any season, if you're behind on dvd.. the gal from aus, was behind tooo... l8r t8r.
I have every episode of Dexter and have watched them all. It cost me nothing to acquire them. Dexter is appealing for only one reason: he fulfills our fantasies about dealing with the injustices and cruelties of life.
Plus, I love his internal black-humor dialogue. It is the product of great writers for a great series.

Unfortunately, I have seen several beloved people who post on discussion boards for JW issues end their own lives. It's always heartbreaking.
Oompa is the latest one. His demons were Watchtower demons, not your garden variety demons, but WATCHTOWER ones.
As bts so eloquently said, "fuck them, fuck them, fuck them." (Three times for emphasis is "Bible Based(tm)", you know.)
May you find peace dear Oompa. I join those who will miss you and your contributions to many who learned from your sharing.
