.....and along comes Google Translate.
I don't have any confidence that the Bible is a 'Holy' book, anymore than Spider-man comics. Both can be enjoyable reading but mostly fiction. I say 'mostly' because in Spider-man comics, he lives in a real place. Does this prove he exists, just because NYC is real?
It's all been a big grift for those unscrupulous enough to realise they can cash in on people's superstitions. I admit, being brought up as a Jobot, I was conned too.
It pains me to see folk going deep into what a scripture/s mean. They study thoroughly. They don't agree on things, even after that.
Don't they realise they've been conned into believing rubbish by clever grifters? Grifters that have the knack of making them feel special for knowing stuff from a book of metaphors. It saddens me to the heart of my bottom.

Beth's Serum - If That is the case...how evil
Yep. That sums the WBT$ leaders up even if that wasn't the case.

Nephilim...Only desired females
by RULES & REGULATIONS inbible questions answered.
who were the nephilim?.
the bible account says that “the sons of the true god began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful.” (genesis 6:2) those ‘sons of god’ were actually spirit creatures who rebelled against god when they “forsook their own proper dwelling place” in heaven, materialized human bodies, and “began taking as wives all whom they chose.”—jude 6; genesis 6:2.. the hybrids born from this unnatural union were no ordinary children.

Write him a letter and see if you get the prezzy you asked for?

Temple Talk
by peacefulpete inrecall the famous charge made against jesus in his trial in the gospel mark: .
“we heard him say, ‘i will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days i will build another, not made with hands.’”.
matt has a shorter version which likely reflects what he saw in his copy of mark:.

PPete - I tried 3 times to post this thread and each time it appeared to get stuck in que. I was just repeating that this morning and discovered it had posted a few hours before. Is it a known issue? Is it my computer?
Without prying, could it be the browser you're using? Are you working through something like Citrix?
Mine does the same if I'm going through Citrix.
I've noticed that some browsers are not always that good.

Noah's Ark - Kentucky
by BoogerMan inregardless of belief/non-belief in the bible account, why is the ark nearly always depicted by both believers & non-believers as a huge boat, with a rounded hull & stern, and a tapered bow?
https://arkencounter.com/ .
the ark was crate shaped according to the measurements.

I agree with Beth Sarim.
Was this the 'attraction' that had a model dinosaur in it?
If so, that's hilarious.

I do too.
smiddy - JW`s and religion in general was all made up to control humans to some degree
That's pretty much my take on it too. At least if there was religion that occurred 'naturally' from how people saw the world, some grifters saw the potential of money and power from it. The grift was on. Infiltrate the people's beliefs and 'game on!'

Waton - 1975, when jws were selling , watchtower was buying Brooklyn hotel for 2 000 000. peanuts.
That's interesting. Do we think that they concocted the 1975 thing to rake in money for this purchase?
They panicked the Jobots into getting them to give their house sale money to the WBT$? A shakedown.
I can't remember if they were spouting the old 'Jehovah(tm) needs your money.' schtick. I wasn't that on board at the time. Just tagging along with Mum and Dad.

1975 is a whole different story.
I had a good 1975. The weather was lovely. I bought some great albums. Discovered some great bands. Got my first motor cycle.
I do recall one October, looking at the calendar at work and thinking, 'Nothing is happening.' I wasn't totally convinced by the JW stuff but my family was all in the cult so I was naturally invested in it.
The fact I was wondering about 1975 is evidence enough for me that the Watchtower Babylon Crap society DID make us think 1975 was the end.

Tonus - I recall some brothers who claimed that the moaning sounds that people attributed to ghosts was these angels, raging in frustration at their inability to return to a tangible form.
That made me laugh. I've never heard that before but sounds like a 'watchtower intellectual' view.
I knew a few Jobots that had fantastical ideas about stuff like that. Totally bonkers yet if they were an Elder(tm) or above, some of the R&F would agree with them.
IMHO, the further back you go in the Bible tales, the weirder they get. That's the trouble with these weird religious type cult writers.............full of bloomin' nonsense.
I can't take any of these tales seriously anymore, they're all too hilarious in their silliness.
