For God/Truth Seekers Only!
by Nicola.threeangelsmessage infor the past three years, my husband and i have been watching these sermons by remarkable worldwide speakers.
the biblical truths we have learnt from their presentations, in such a short period of time most definitely tip the scales compared to the truth the jw.org led me to believe i had for over 20 plus years of my life.
thanks to these videos, we have now found the truth and the truth is jesus christ (john 14:6).

nicolaou and cofty, since you are so sure that God doesn't exist then why do you feel threatened?
I don't believe it's truly a matter of feeling threatened. It sounded to me like they were just pointing out the control tactics the Judeo-Christian God uses...
The God of the Bible is a God of threats, fear, obligation, guilt, manipulation.

KateWild: Yeah, I'm not sure why they chose a URL with a hyphen in it. Your experience is exactly why when someone asks me about what website address they should choose for their own site, I tell them to stay way from hyphens. People forget them.
(The actual website is jw-think.org)

Kairos: Any updates to report, Cap'?
She likes reddit better for some reason. She lurked here for a while but lost interest. Haha
no updates other than she's still exploring her personal beliefs. She's leaning more towards agnosticism now.
She's past the anger and anxiety of initially waking up and turned her first fake time report in last week.
We're planning on saving as much cash as possible and moving after a year.
In the meantime, we are fading quickly. Haven't been to a meeting since the Memorial. No one called us about it until this week (when they were begging for time reports..."real concern" right?) -

They are still teaching 1919. See paragraph 9:
In the time of the end, particularly from 1919 on, Christ’s faithful anointed slaves on earth have been doing business with the Master’s talents....

Having Faith in the Bible
by william draper ini know many on here have lost faith in the bible , is it possible that is because ones do not have the right perspective regarding it .
we have usually been taught by bad teachers , or ignorant .
i believe if we take an honest look at the bible , we will see that it gives us the best answers to crucial matters , it gives us some amount of bearings ( understanding ) , which without having such knowledge we would all be more like walking zombies in amanner of speaking , we would be lacking hope in something better , for surely something better is to come , how can we be sure , .

...the fact is we know that [a] God [of love] allows bad things to happen....
Do you not realize how irrational that sounds?

In regards to the warfare where the women and male children were taken captive and later killed under the order of Moses , in the previous chapter it speaks of these people as having acted wickedly against the Israelites , the women turning the men to Baal Worship , and much more surely took place , note that before this many of the Israalite men were killed for Baal Worship , is this right , the worship of Baal involved child sacrifice I believe , at least at some point of time . WAS THAT A GOOD THING , NOT AT ALL . Were the Baal worshipers ever warned , yes they were by Balaam NUMBERS ch 24 , and probably again that we do not know about ,
So, basically, Moses and the Hebrews were ISIS.
Stop trying to defend God and the Bible. If a God exists and were all-powerful, why can he not defend himself? This amazing being, with limitless power, needs to rely on Moses and his armies to defend true worship and execute judgement? The God that parted the red sea couldn't be bothered to lift a finger?
Not to mention all the other bullcrap creation we have to deal with.
