  The "Whole World" was flooded??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, jehovah's witnesses and many other biblical literalists think that the "whole world" was flooded during noahs day.. they take the "accounts" in genesis literally.

  so that means that areas as far away as australia, russia, argentina, greenland, antarctica were all visited by noah and his family to gather animals and preach before it happened right??

  they then took everything back to the middle east to board the ark...uh huh.... yet, the same expression in the bible for the "whole world" is also used in the account about the "worldwide famine" in josephs day!

  There is a talk outline that has the illustration of the bristlecone pine and how it is 4850 years old. The flood happened 4350 years ago. So unless these pine trees in the mountains of California can hold their breath for a long time the whole world was not under water.

  hi what will be the next thing that watchtower will cut,if you say the leaked video that fay put up the finance guy from the watchtower was saying that they had spent $26 million in about 6 months.

  so if they are getting through money that fast then they are going to have problems.

  i have noticed a paradigm shift on this site .

  we used to be able to express opposing viewpoints without being subjected to name calling and censorship.

  i wish we could return to how the board used to function.

  If anyone is offended they are free to leave. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

  Review: 2018 "Be Courageous!" convention

  by neat blue dog in

  friday and saturday were for the most part pretty light, not too culty or doctinal, could easily suck in the unsuspecting.

  there were a couple of hypocritical lines that i took note of however.

  at one point the speaker said, "if your boss fires everyone who disagrees with him but promotes everyone who agrees with him, you might be tempted to agree with him just to keep your job.

  My observation was that they used fear more than ever before. The videos were meant to scare us back into line. Cultiest convention I’ve ever attended.

  Born ins: did you have "near life experiences"?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently watched the 90s movie fight club for the first time and heard the phrase "near life experience.".

  for me, a different definition of this phrase would be someone who grew up in the truth and led a very secluded and restricted life (like me) but on rare occasions actually experienced something that was considered quite normal by most people.. growing up in "the troof" was depressing.

  it was characterized by long periods of loneliness.

  When I was in grade 3 we had a Christmas gift exchange for our class. Of course I wasn’t allowed to participate. The teacher felt sorry for me and gave me a present a small box of chocolates wrapped in plain paper.
