  now my wife is even more crazed with zeal than ever before.

  the announcement has proven to her that the end is almost visible.

  time has run out!

  If the Bible was written more clearly, would there be a need to preach?

  by easyreader1970 in

  part of the reason there are so many divisions and opinions and versions of the bible is because, quite honestly, alot of it just doesn't make any sense.

  it's full of symbolism, metaphors, allegories, parables, and even some of the narratives conflict with themselves.

  the book of revelation makes no sense at all.

  Why did Abel offer "fatty pieces" to Yahweh?

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from my understanding--at least from my instruction from the wbts--humans were not permitted to eat meat by yahweh until after the flood.

  if that is true, then why would abel offer tasty, delicious "fatty pieces" to yahweh?

  how would abel even know how to cut up an animal for food and know which parts were the best for eating?.

  If you were the deity, would you demand to be showered with gutted animals?

  i have always been a bit confused by this.

  i can understand why a deity would want and demand respect.

  i can similarly understand why a deity would want and demand loyalty.

  i am currently an active jw.

  i don't want to be but the situation i am in doesn't allow me to do anything differently.

  Your most memorable Kingdom Hall meeting disruptions!

  i remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools.

  the schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the kh.

  they weren't just happened upon, though.

  The Whining on this Site

  by easyreader1970 in

  2. beliefs

  this is sort of a response to lex talonis' message but i thought it warranted a separate topic.

  i am both offended and encouraged by his suggestion that most of us here are just whiners.

  i think it is encouraging that he wants the watchtower society's mentally damaging message stopped.
