  Can someone tell me why Joan's ark and the flood not true and impossible?

  by Gokumonkey in

  hey everyone.

  i have a question and i hope i'm not confusing this with something else i heard.

  while watching ex jw videos on youtube many of them talk about how noah's ark and the flood didn't happen and it's impossible.

  Wow I cant believe that this is still talked about.

  SO SO SO MANY REASONS ITS BULLSHIT!

  Few not ever mentioned.

  1. Water Salination. If the flood water came from rain or undergrounds springs - they would have been FRESH water. So that water would have mixed with the Saltwater in the oceans at the time. Imagin how salty the ocean water would have been pre-flood then? Sea life as we know it would not have been able to live in that water. Think - Dead Sea. Not many fishies swimming there, plus the all would float.

  2. Bugs. Ah - did Noah save all the insects? Where were the bees, or the millions of other insects that are needed to have a viable ecosystem?

  3. Slate cleaner. If there was a flood as described, and you had continents rising and falling (which is so stupid), the entire surface of the earth would be scoured clean. No plant life would survive. Then have it under salt water for an extended time to make sure its all dead. How did the plant life all come back when noah got out of his boat? Where were all the bugs (bees) that would be needed to pollinate plant life? There are about a million other moving parts what would have been needed that would have been erased by a 'flood'.

  There are so so many more.

  Unbelievable KMS example

  i've been to the kingdom ministry school (for elders) recently and can report that it is mostly the usual mix of cliches and platitudes.

  several letters where basically just read through one line at a time.

  one point early on though almost made me laugh out loud.

  OMG !!! I was just innocently reading these posts - and as I scrolled down there was a picture of a girl in a bikini!!
  
  I let Satan in my heart (by not throwing my computer out the window and saying a prayer) and immediately started masturbating, then I turned gay, then I left my family, then I turned to drugs, then I became a full-time male prostitute.

  Everything the WT said came true.

  Thank you Gisele Bundchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Hee Haw was not clean

  so, my son bought me a device that allows me to look up and watch anything i want.

  i remember years ago , i enjoyed the television show hee haw on sunday evenings.

  i naively thought it was wholesome family entertainment.

  During the rest of the show, much of what you saw was women's breasts exposed, women laying in suggestive positions, dirty jokes, women wearing miniskirts, women being sensual, women and men flirting with each other, men looking at women.

  EVERY SHOW SHOULD INCLUDE SUCH!!!

  Except for men looking at women - now that crosses the line.

  Gentry go use your DEVICE to watch JW broadcasting and leave us the F alone.

  FYI - it's probably a Fire Stick with illegal software that lets you pirate any show or movie.

  i have been going through old papers and photographs since my mother passed away.

  it has reminded me of some of the reasons that i really hate november.

  this year has added to it obviously.. thirty-four years ago, my father passed away in early november.

  Sadly since waking up, life often just seems like a countdown to death.

  The big downside of leaving the cult.

  had a couple of witnesses stop by yesterday to say the usual "we miss you, missed you at the meeting, just checking in on you, etc.

  " i've always liked this guy so we spoke for a few minutes.

  my wife said that they could count their time since i am inactive.

  just spent 8 hours in a 1 day elders school last weekend.

  clarification given: "moving forward any elder, ms, or pioneer who themselves or someone under their roof enrolls in higher education, may no longer qualify for privileges in the congregation.

  their qualifications will have to be reviewed by their boe.".

  Has nothing to do with wanting STUPID people - it has EVERYTHING to do with not wanting anyone to learn Critical Thinking.

  Difficulty fading out

  by Emily1987 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first post on here so i apologize that it is like an essay!.

  my husband and i are currently 'fading out' of the truth.

  we stopped preaching in may 2016 and limited meeting attendance in january 2017 and stopped completely in june 2017. my main reason for this was my whole life i have been doing things to please others, even getting baptized to please my mum.

  Emily, just do all you can to avoid any of them, and if you do have contact be very nice, but give no information out at all.

  Remember, they are part of a cult and will turn you in.

  Freddo is 100% right.

  When you deny everything, you are using the 2 witness rule against them.

  Use any excuse, depression, stress, whatever to get out of any conversation.

  By the way - I was in the exact position you were in, though I was a "prominent elder" (whatever that means:)
