i have been thinking about basic theology a lot and the more i think about it the more rediculous it sounds.. so adam and eve died from a small sin of eating a piece of fruit.
if sin causes death why is satan not dead?
why didnt adam and eve die that very day like god said?
Jehovah did not just kill Satan...God has a huge Ego so.....instead for thousands of years he allowed his children to suffer death, sickness, war and famine. Just to prove a point....he even allowed Job to be tortured!!!
IM MORE Merciful then my God so I therefore dont worship him anymore.
i am doing one of my dreams for a while: growing a beard.
it may not seem like much, but it's quite the experience for me.
it's probably a rite of passage from jw to exjw lol.. besides the itchyness, i hate it that it curls so much (i have hairs that naturally start to curl after a certain length).. anyone here have tips on taking care of a beard?
Im bald on top.....and down below too. Much easier to maintain.
SAY NO TO HAIR!!!!!!
looking at the percentage of average publishers of 2013 over 2012 (not the peaks):.
brazil 1.46%.
nigeria 2.60%.
Japans lost tens of thousands and many congs closed down....everyone has internet there. Easy to expose Watchtower lies. Back in 1985 you had to get a copy of Ray Franz book to learn anything.
a sister wanted to abuse the elders for not allowing her "questionable" daughter to be a publisher so she grabs a cloth from under a vase of flowers and puts it on her head beforeyelling at them....good to see sisters knowing their place......is this a bit jewish?.

this is a very strange thing for me to do.
i have been an active witness for over 25 years.
i currently serve as an elder and i conduct the watchtower study.
Once you realize the "faithful slave"are imperfect men who have been making stuff up as they go along...and telling everyone its from the mouth of Jah...you will set yourself free...look up 1925 1940's 1975 they lied about armagedon coming. I know ALOT of old Witnesses who are childless and had to do cleaning to support themselves and were upset about Armagedon not coming when they were told.
yearbook 2011 p.9,10 "the spiritual food like physical food needs to be well prepared....the writting department follows the pattern of "tracing all things with accuracy.
} while the internet is a quick source of information, our researchers don't rely on blogs or poorly documented web entries {you guys} written by unidentified or unqualified persons.
{or everyone on this site!!
We are all liars!
was it real fruit they ate or does the fruit represent something else?.
e..
I posted on this before...if you check the footnote in the big reference bible it says the literal translation says they were mentally enlightened byt he fruit...even though this is not Watchtower teaching.
after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.
thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.
i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.
Thanks for the 1000's of topics you posted AGAINST the Witnesses....you no doubt helped many hundreds including me and my wife to leave...I now have my own buisness and feeling like im not a windowcleaner looser THANKS TO YOU DUDE. Oh good luck with Jonestown and the coolaid Cong. I hope you dont need a blood transfusion in the future because......oh you know why dude YOU taught me all I know! Peace man...like in the Matrix movie...you chose not to take the pill and be a battery for the Watchtower.
from the reddit agm blog:.
god's will to be completed by the end of the millennium.
very casually said by louche.. .
These assholes like to predict dates...it makes them feel like they are speaking for Jah. THEY NEVER LEARN because we white wash our errors.
1 1/2 hour into the agm and my impression so far .......dullsville........a dud!.
right now bro herd is interviewing old timers who remember back in the 50's 1st releases of nwt of the bible..
Fred Franz will be furious up in heven sitting on his throne. How dare they re write HIS bible!!!!
