Although when we say the scriptures of the ancients misrepresent him, are we not doing exACTly what they did and creating a God that fits the image of what we expect of him?

Either God’s non-existence or His majesty
by venus inin natural calamities, everyone (despite one’s faith) is affected.
when one denies god’s existence, he experiences no punishment from him.
when one worships him, he receives no special favor from him.

Venus that was beautiful - I really, really enjoyed reading it. I particularly loved your comparison of Watchtowers egotistical belief that they are the chosen with the same nonsense a Semitic tent swelling nomadic tribe felt ( ironically jws would secretly gloat at that comparison whilst feeling offended at the same time!)

.vienne But it was also pirated and made a torrent download. Every free download cost me money.
Yes, my husband had a lot of material released on a compilation album that went straight to number one in the American Indie charts. Without an expensive lawyer he had no recource. Only found out when a friend bought the album in an independent music store. Few years ago now , but it's been going on long before the days of torrents😡

The thing about Mike and Kim, whatever you say about them, they sure are entertaining!!
I honestly think, with the right guidance, they have the potential to make it BIG!
Seriously, Mr. Angry and Mrs. Endearing...good mixture for the masses...
I like things a little more high brow myself. Susan Gaskin's my girl!!
And Katy Kitten of course!

Lol, WT flagged them for copyright infringement? If I was spreading the truth with the power of God's holy spirit I would want anybody to copy my material.
Confusedalot Exactly! Mike and Kim have one or two Watchtower videos, as I said, just uploaded plain for all to see without commentary. But if this was God's true channel with nothing to hide they should be PROUD that others are showing their videos!

No way! They really must be having an impact if theyre going after them like that. Theres a few straight uploads of Watchtower videos with no commentary, so that could be how they got them. Most of their videos have the disclaimer at the beginning.
Kind of ironic that they, of all people, get done for copyright!!

Probably ( and if so good for them) a *sensible* doctor has persuaded your mum it's just gentle stretching exercises and the best treatment for her ailments.....and not one of the dark arts for O.A.P's

What really should be the role of Women in the congregations?
by Old Navy inthe presumably "biblical" practice of limiting the way women participate in congregational matters of the wtborg cult inc. (as well as certain other sects of christendom) may be a gross mis-interpretation of what paul meant.
i'm inclined to agree completely with this account of what paul really meant.. thoughts anyone?
aren't women more deserving of greater participation and respect?.

Scholars don't believe Paul wrote Timothy.
SO...
If it's ok for Watchtower to take John 8.1 out of the Bible because scholars are not convinced it was originally there, why leave Timothy, or form their doctrine from it? Why not formulate their doctrine from descriptions of Deborah, Pheobe, Priscilla, Junia??0

What now?
I can't quite read all of it. But I could read the "of sound mind" " two daughters" and "just to be on the safe side".
I take it this isn't being written in the presence of her solicitor. It looks too amateurish for that. However the grandiose writing style is reminiscent of quite a few narcissists I know, I also think this unsolicited 'outburst' comes across as rarther passive aggressive.
All in all, I get the idea of a woman who is angry she cannot *control*you - a daughter who is not towing the line.
Nope, not the slightest bit Christianity or love in that little exercise in adult tantrum-ing.
