The moment I knew it was crap....

by Brocephus in

already had doubts from the time i got pubes... but i was about 15 and we were studying the revelation "book" for the upteenth time.

i realized for every actual bible verse they qouted there was 2-3 paragraphs of conjecture, assumption, faulty logic and just plain stupidity.

that's when i began to plan my escape.

!!!! Seriously !!! The red book is when my BS meter went off. I was a kid when the book came out and then on the 3rd reading I was sitting there actually paying attention and I couldn't believe how much they were embelishing off of one or two scriptures. The fact that they tie themselves to closely with that confusing prophecy is completely and utterly ridiculous.

I bet anyone of us could take certain scriptures from Revelation and make it seem to be a prohecy about our own lifes.

The vaguer the better!

NWT changes translation to not pray to Jesus

by sacolton in

john 14:14new international version (1984).

the kingdom interlinear translation uses the westcott-hort text, and that's how it reads in the kit.

the kit's interlinear reads as follows: "if ever anything you should ask me in the name of me this i shall do.

Nephilim

I don't think anybody here is going to argue that NWT is a piece of trash?

As far as terrible tragedies go there are far worse things going on then a simple mistranslation.

Did you read the literature?

by WuzLovesDubs in

initially i suppose i did.

i know i over studied the articles for the wt study because i thought my enthusiasm as a study would make me more accepted.

but after awhile i didnt read the awakes at all except for a cursory glance because i was giving them to people.

The red revelation book. Why? Because it is the stupidest piece of bullshit logic I have ever seen in my entire life. Count the rationalizations. COUNT EM!

The last time I went to a bookstudy we were studying the red revelation book and I studied extra hard because I was so surprised. "I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM READING THIS?!?!" THEY ARE ACTUALLY CLAIMING THESE THINGS HAPPENED?!

Revelation is THE most confusing book of the bible. Who the hell do they think they are to decipher it and make it all about themselves. Half the drawings in that book look like they were drawn by Napoleon Dynamite.

Kingdom Halls, Assemblies, District Conventions - NO POWER POINT

by Nephilim in

i'm a good public speaker - when i have my power point.

this is because i am a very visual person.

when i had my notes everything seemed to get blurry.. it bothers me that there is this unwritten law that you are not allowed to give visual presentations in the kingdom hall... even assemblies equipped with multiple projectors (to view baptism) do not use power point or any type of visual stimulus.. hell even when they have 10,000 plus people they are still working a full day with just a man on stage talking.

Nephilim

And for good measure...

Oh man, me and my stupid jokes...

Yeah the photoshop comment was definitely humor. I guess I get a 1/10 for the joke. I'll try harder next time!!! I will!!!

How funny it is though that if you DO bring this up to a Jehovah's Witness they are so quick to point out that the original talk was called "Millions now living may never die".

I'm new to the board, but big on humor and photoshop so look forward to that!

Thetrueone,

That's obviously photoshopped. They said "Millions now living MAY never die". It's a great photoshop though you are very talented.

Camels werent domesticated during Abraham's time?

by cyberjesus in

one of the many factors that made me loose faith in the bible was the fact that camels were not domesticated during abrahams era.

i read this on the book "the bible unearthead".

do you know of any other evidence that shows camels were domesticated after 1000 bce.
