I always doubted. Things didn't quite add up. "Why did prayer work for them, but not for me?" I would chalk up those inconsistencies to, "God has a time for everything, he's in charge, he knows what he's doing."

I'm a naturalist, I believe everything has natural as opposed to a supernatural explanation.

I don't want to be the next person everybody is talking about.

Thank you for sharing, Lady Lee. There is always someone willing to lend a helping hand. I can relate. I've had some of those thoughts myself over the years, and I'm lucky I've been able to bounce back.

by bioflex in

was just going through a few topics and this caught my attention, and since that thread looks pretty much dead i thought i would create a new one to add my thoughts .. so i would start by replying to as much criticisms as i can okay.

Why did God allow the angels to procreate with female humans (I wonder why no angels were gay, given they are the ones that are supposed to induce that sort of inappropriate behavior, according to Christians)?

Aren't the hybrid populations what screwed up the earth? How would women have fought off predatory angels? LOL, I invented a new term, predatory angel.

Authentic in that it didn't plagerize from other religions before it? We know that's bs.

Accurate in that the miracles and other stories such as the Flood and Creation account are 100% factual? Also bs.

Another line of argumentation to consider is Biblical canonization.

I agree that Outlaw's position seems reasonable, but I will repeat again, if God exists, why doesn't he settle the debate once and for all?

Argument against a GLOBAL Flood

how many people existed before the biblical flood?

in the bible from adam to noah they have around 1600-1700 years.

adam had at least three children (one dies and not counting the daughters) in a 930 year life span.

God created a hypercube within the Ark that allowed for more space than that which is normally allowable.

God didn't leave any evidence of a Global Flood, he wiped that out so that you could rely soley on faith about this account.

There are no arguments against the Global Flood. They do not withstand God's mighty power.

Did you ever shun people when you were a dub? How did it feel?

by oldlightnewshite in

okay, i don't know lots of people that were df'd, but of all the times i've encountered df people when i was a dub, they actually blanked me!

it was always something that i had fixed in my mind that the jws had dead wrong, even when i was an uber dub.

i remember several times when i used to arrive late at meetings, and i'd make a point of getting eye contact with the poor dub at the back sitting on the naughty step.
