  i've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.

  it's been almost a decade since i've been out and i don't care at this point who knows.

  that being said, here's a letter that i'm mailing to bethel.

  But humanity was NOT limited to that geographical area. I'm native American and my ancestors had already colonized North America by that time.

  Got my answer. Well, no, I got a reply but they didn't answer my question.

  Cliffs Notes: Jesus says the flood was global, Jehovah left just enough info out of the bible so that "one who wants to find an excuse for not believing can find it," and Satan is trying to deceive you with "an avalanche of lies."

  The real hilarity is in the article they appended. It says word for word: "Religious exhortations to the effect that you should just believe and should doubt nothing are dangerous and deceptive."

  Sorry what?

  Anyway, here is the actual reply:

  Jukief, your husband is Alan Feurbacher? He was one of the first sources I started reading when I was waking up a decade ago.

  Tell him thanks!

  Haha, like I said I don't care who knows at this point. I've made my peace that I'm no longer a part of the organization. If they want to be petty and make it all official then so be it.

  As for Introvert 2's suggestion about the hydroplate theory, did you even read my letter? There's absolutely no trace of a global flood in the ice core record, among a myriad of other lines of evidence against the flood. Trying to prove the flood from a scientific point of view is impossible.

  A local flood in 2300 BC makes no sense archaeologically because the Egyptians were well into the fourth dynasty and there's no mention of such a catastrophe in the region. For reference, the great pyramid of Khufu was built 200 years before the flood was supposed to have taken place.

  Again, I phrased it for the benefit of my still-in dad.

  I was trying to come off as non-confrontational as possible.

  I've no doubt about it. It's the same tired refrain that was trotted out by the elders all those years ago but at least if my dad sees their response and realizes that they really are just peeing in the wind, maybe it might help him to wake up too.

  Thanks for the link, Wifibandit.

  As for the purpose of the letter, I'm doing this more for the benefit of my dad. He honestly clings to the hope that they might have an explanation so I'm going through the motions. If this ends up in my being disfellowshipped because I've popped back onto the radar, then so be it.
