And I had read somewhere that there was a Hebrew word that could be used for sphere, but it was not and this would help show that
they (Bible writers) thought that the Earth was not a sphere.

Major goof in the Sept 1 WT article on Babel and the origin of languages
by marmot injust wanted to point out something that another poster brought up in the thread on the agm rumours, the writing department included a photo of a cuneiform tablet in their article on the origin of languages with a caption that states it is from 3000 bc.
this would pre-date the global flood myth and the fanciful tower of babel story altogether, hah!.

Not sure if this thought is even relevent as I am unaware of the dates the WTBTS says that the global flood happened or the Tower Of Babel was being built but the 3rd millenium would start around 2001 BCE right, not 3000 years as normally thought.

How Do I Explain To My TalkTherapist That JW's Believe They Will Never Die?
by LoisLane looking for Superman ini know for us exjw's that have awakened from this religion, it seems incredulous that we ever.
could have believed we were going to live forever and never die.. not just never die, but never die, like i was raised to believe with.
the millions now living will never die, garbage.. i said that to my highly educated professional therapist last week.. her eyes got big, and she said gently as to a child, "loislane, we are all going to die".. yes, i know that now, but that is not what my religion taught and i believed, for 60 years.. any thoughts on how i explain this lunacy to her?.

See the image in lamallcool post that has the man looking into the rays of the sun and standing in a wheat field, (possibly)
I could have sworn that I have seen that image in the past on the History channel or some other educational channel that assocaited that image with the goverment of Germany back in the days of WW2. I have searched the internet for german images, man, sunrise etc but cannot seem to find it. Anyone else remember seeing this image associated with Germany during that period? If so it might fit in nicely with the idea that Rutherford was pro german.

New Flock Book - Child Abusers NOT excluded from serving again
by allelsefails in"shepherd the flock" book - page 38 - chapter 3 par.20 ........ (talking about disqualifying servants and elders) 20. if the sin occurred before he was appointed as an elder or a ministerial servant, the elders will need to take into consideration the fact that he should have mentioned this possible impediment to his being qualified when elders interviewed him just prior to announcing his appointment.
moreover, the nature of the sin may reflect greatly on his qualifications to serve.
for example, the sin may involve past child abuse, and this would likely disqualify him for many years.-w97 1/1 pp.

If I remember correctly, and I could be wrong, but in the Shepherding the Flock book have some referenced articles in those paragraphs that discussed child abuse of a sexual nature? If this is so, it would seem that the child abuse talked about in this part of the STF elders book was not talking about spanking too hard.

I agree with De Wandelaar,.
IF your goal is to help other JWs get out and you realize that a lurking Jw is teetering on edge of being able to see these videos, WHY in the world would you constantly slam them from visiting your videos?
I know that she is repsponding to some goofy comments on her blogs, but would not taking a caring approach to answering these comments with logical reasons as to why THEY are making these replies as there is the "confirmation bias' theory etc,..
I say come back with them in a educational stance to possibly help someone. I do realize that there are some of the Jws that will never get out and will continually be there making stupid comments, but there are also some that are doubting and the last thing that they need to see is something like this.
I commented awhile back asking why in the world would a youtube channel EVER state that the viewer, if a Jw, should not be here watching this and it is against the rules of the Gb.

I could never understand why Dinah would go over to another tribed to get raped. There were laws about being raped within the Jweish system of things, right? So does that not mean that since there were laws about rape that it must have been more than a infrequent experience.

UNDESERVED kindness or DESERVED kindness?
by scotoma ini'm tired of hearing people grovel before their "benevolent" creator.. recently i was listening to a jw relative express regrets over their rebellious life-style when they were young.
then came that phrase:.
"i'm so greatful for jehovah's undeserved kindness and that he can accept me with my sinful past.".
