  More evidence of fraud in 2nd Peter: Noah didn't preach, per Genesis 6

  by adamah in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  thanks for reading the 3-part series on the contradictory characterization of lot in genesis vs 2nd peter, analyzing genesis 19 and comparing it to 2nd peter 2. in the articles, i took a step-by-step approach to show how 2nd peter's declaring lot as "righteous" was exactly the opposite goal of the author of genesis, since the point of the story is how unrighteous lot was saved not due to his righteousness, but on behalf of his righteous uncle abraham (the star of the torah).. of course, the book of 2nd peter is widely acknowledged by nt scholars to be a fraudulent work, written under a pseudonymous (fake) name in order to 'patch up' some loose ends in the torah, likely to support then-blossoming doctines of christianity.

  of particular interest to ex-jws is that one intent was to support the duty to warn others of the coming end of days, including the jw's beloved scripture, matt 28:19, that justifies their preaching work: "go thereforth and make disciples...." the only support for the claim that noah preached before the flood is found in 2nd peter, so it's a dubious claim.. in the latest article, i examine the flood account in genesis 6, showing how god had already condemned mankind even before he offered the covenant agreement to noah, so there's absolutely no reason for noah to be a "preacher of righteousness", as 2nd peter claims, since god's judgment had already been passed, and death sentence had been handed down.. .

  I had a friend who carried a golf ball to use for knocking on doors. It was outrageously loud and I hated working with her. Another witness used a quarter to knock on the glass. It is not hard to figure out why everyone hates when jw's are in the neighborhood.

  beverly wright walked with a cane, slowly, avoiding uneven ground on wednesday morning as she went door-to-door on north delaware avenue inviting people to an upcoming jehovah's witnesses convention.. a week ago she had what she hopes will be her last of five skin grafts to repair wounds she received march 19 when a pit bull mauled her so badly that doctors told her she might lose her leg.. wright, 43, could have escaped injury that tuesday morning when an 80-pound pit bull burst through the front door of a house in the 200 block of n. lewis place and attacked her ministry companion and longtime friend, irene parker, 78.. but it never occurred to her not to help her friend.. both women were severely injured in the attack.

  Just think of all the toddlers that get dragged out in service by their parents. If that dog had gotten hold of a small child it would have killed it or at least horribly disfigured it for life. It is just too dangerous to gobo or to door anymore, not to mention a waste of time.

  Sometimes it takes a while for the BS to sink in. When they changed the generation teaching, it didn't register with our family right away that the truth is, the GB is making this religion up as they go. New doctrine is used to explain away why things didn't turn out the way they said it would. When you lie, you just have to make up new lies to cover yourselves. The GB is stuck in a huge, huge web of lies and there is no way out for them.

  This is disgusting! The righteous man cares for the soul of his domestic animals the Bible says. This is just another one of their tactics to keep the "flock" captive.

  Who has had their District Convention seats stolen by other Witnesses?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  over the years i have had to deal with this problem personally and as a attendant covering my section at various convention centers.

  i had people who were suppose to be decent jehovah witnesses pick up all the books, bags and coolers belonging to brothers and sisters who arrived at the appropriate time and picked them up and dumped them all at the end of the seating row.

  so here is what goes down, the sister runs up to me panicking and saying "dear brother, i had all those seats reserved for my family and now look!

  I have seen very good seats saved for the entire day in the most desirable location and go unused all day. Some people are just very thoughtless.

  Is this a publishing house posing as a religion or a real estate development corporation posing as a religion?

  after reading some of your other posts and experiences, especially regarding the elder's school, i am reminded of part 2 of my experience down the rabbit hole.. the last elder's school i attended was in 2011. i remember vividly the 3 day event.

  i remember vividly being bored out of my mind!.

  as has been stated by others, the hours of monotone counsel and examples and experiences were continually beating on your brain with the usual stuff:.

  Enjoyed your post. Love those insider stories.

  I remember when my ex was an elder how he dreaded the co's visit. You were not the only one who felt the way you did. Glad you have woken up.
