oops... guess they didn't look at the map when making up the book of genesis...(genesis 49:13) 13 “zeb′u·lun will reside by the seashore, and he will be by the shore where the ships lie anchored; and his remote side will be toward si′don..
These are some interesting readings before rushing to any conclusion:

hi everyone, it has been a while since i've last updated!
(refer to my previous posts for the full story) here is a quick re-cap: 2 months ago my mother found out that i am living with my boyfriend, she told me i was discovered by an "anonymous" tipper who turned me in for "living in sin".. first of all, that is nearly impossible, the congregation i was in is 100's of miles away from where i currently live.. no one would have ever known i was living with my boyfriend unless i told them, which i never did, i cut off all communication with that congregation in part of my attempted fade which was blown into pieces and discovered.. anyways, my mom tells me if i don't go to the elders and confess like a good little sheep, then she is obligated to tell them.. ( don't see why, i don't even live under her roof ) well i never went to them because why should i?
so they met with my mother and she told them i live with my boyfriend... let me remind you, this was two months ago.. i was told i was going to be df'd and that was that.
Call them and let them know if they proceed with the JC you will sue them.
it is subtitled.
cant find it for looking.. thanks.
I'm not sure whether this is the one, but this is the long version:

has anyone seen one of the new design kh's and taken pics?
i'm curious to see.
i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.
i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.
i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.
Hi Believer. I was a born in JW, and left the cult 5 years ago. Now I'm 49 years old. I'm not affiliated to any organized religion, but yes, I'm still a strong believer in God and Jesus. The main reason I still visit the forum is to find out the latest news about the WT, hoping that a bigger number of JW open their eyes about this dangerous cult.
so i read a comment on youtube of someone stating that john 6:53-58 woke him up.
the nwt says .
so jesus said to them: “most truly i say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.+54 whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and i will resurrect+ him on the last day;55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.56 whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and i in union with him.+ 57 just as the living father sent me and i live because of the father, so also the one who feeds on me will live because of me.+ 58 this is the bread that came down from heaven.
i'm interested in hearing someone explain the olivet discourse.. note, there's much discussion on other sites, but so far, i've not heard an explanation of the entire discourse in a way that is logical, in full harmony and complete.. some feel that they have figured out one piece or another.
however, when inconsistencies are highlighted, the discussion ends.
some make outlandish claims.. i know that the watchtower version is so much refuse.
I found this site very interesting: http://www.studylight.org/commentaries/acc/view.cgi?bk=39&ch=24
when i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".
so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.
Two elders took me to the back room for counseling because I invited two brothers to my house to watch the movie "The Incredible Hulk" from Marvels. It wasn't appropriate for Christians.
for those of you that don't research this stuff i will give a little back story.
we all know about the moses exodus, but history and archeology didn't seem to confirm this event.
the only exodus out of egypt ever recorded was that of a group of asiatic tribes that had taken over egypt for a bit over 100 years called the hyksos and the followers of the pharaoh akhenaten who perpetuated a monotheistic idea of worshiping only one deity the aten.
I recommend "Patterns of Evidence: Exodus". You can watch it full in Netflix.
wanted to say hi.
i've been lurking for a long time.
i also spend time on other forums.
