when confronted with all of the inconsistencies and atrocities of the bible, many believers invariably claim that they don't base their faith in christ on what's written in the bible.
so what is the basis then, if not scripture?.
and please don't tell me "the lord has revealed himself to me".
When God did command for some people to be killed, it was for justice purpose.
Like all of the children killed at Noah's flood? Or the kids killed by the bear for making fun of a bald guy? Yeah, thats Godlike justice for you.
Or how about all of the women and children killed in Numbers 31? Simply because not enough of them were killed before capture?
Not buying it.

first, message received, i get it.
these guys are way out there and full of themselves.
The writing style of the letters to these clowns is all same. Its simply a way to recruit people out of the WT cult into their own little version of Christianity.
I don't care, any enemy of my enemy is my friend. Once they told the story of several hundred partaking at the Meh-morial in Nevada I knew they were master bullshitters. But if they can get people to free their mind in any way I don't care how many lies they tell on their shitty website.
this is a cut and paste for australia's canberra times, my only comment is to remark on the ordinariness of his rise from a chinese perspective.. i could likely post a thousand stories of people like jack ma, growing up in relative poverty, and now- through hard work and an eye for an opportunity- extremely rich.
ma's story is the story of nearly all of them.
it's part of what makes the story of china's rise so fascinating.
Thanks for that, nice to read about the man behind the company.
Been following the IPO for a few months, will be interesting to see where the company opens tomorrow, I'll guess around $95 a share.
dear brothers:.
re: personal literature supply.
reducing existing stock at the branch office before the revisions are released.
Well they are always looking to save $$$ where they can.
Im sure plenty of JWs have loads of trash filling up their basements. Get it back to the KH and into circulation and there is less demand from HQ.
Business 101.
the elder was just giddy with excitement!
20,000 hours put in!
14,000 tracts and brochures!
That was a wake up call for me, when I had those parts and had to try to find an "experience" from one of the pioneers in the congo.
When the best experiences were always "nice conversations" i realized I was participating in a circle jerk.
the latest wtaf dub convention video...enjoy.

That sign, smh.
i know they're called exes for a reason, but my ex-gf and i had repaired our relationship which had been ruined due to my awakening.
she had stopped talking to me for months after the elders told her no to associate with anyone who disagrees with the "slave.
" of course since she has her own doubts and she still loves me, she eventually began talking to me again.
Tell her that apostate picture would have been more accurate if they had a sign with "jwfacts.com" on it.
it's definitely on their minds.
i attended a funeral recently and a jw told me that the person who died almost made it to the 100 year anniversary of the birth of the kingdom.. curious what comments like this you've heard in your area?.
(and can't wait for november!).
They have done a masterful job of owning the lie. Propoganda 101.
okay, so its no secret that many of us are hoping to see the downfall of the wtbts (or at least a mass exodous of jws away from them anyway).
i was wondering if you had any thoughts on what this might look like?.
we all know that most every jw has their doubts, large and small, but is afraid to speak due to the illusion of unanimity and self censorship .
Its not going anywhere.
140 years of delusional tripe and yet it still grows.
Their product isn't offered by apostates, we don't have a bottle of everlasting life in exchange for their time. A certain segment of the population will do anything to avoid death.
just finished reading "who wrote the bible" ( richard e friedman) ?
made for a fascinating read.
the machinations of the various factions of levites and their efforts at centralizing the jewish religion has been adroitly duplicated by the gb.
Been meaning to read that one for ages, thanks for the reminder.
Probably a bit more scholarly than the SI book.
