More proof that the history of ancient Israel and so-called sacred texts is written by man and has nothing to do with a Jehovah Yahweh God Creator holy power whatever invisible spirit that has not revealed itself to humanity. So, we can use the bible writings against itself and see that it does not add up to a God inspired book just a history of a group of people living in the fear of death and whatever comes after . Terry Love and Justice: Do humans have it all wrong? I give you a big resounding NO!

AMATEURS using BAD METHODS: what possible expertise does the GB possess?
by Terry inlet's start with a very basic common sense question.. if you needed surgery would you go to a graduate of medical school who had been practicing for awhile,.
or would you go to an amateur who told you god would be telling him how to peform surgery?.
don't laugh.. it is a serious question!.

Terry, She is one of many captives of a concept. Don Cameron's Anatomy of an Illusion,Captives of a Concept, explains that the concept that holds Jehovah's Witnesses captive is their belief that the Watctower Society is God's organization. A study of their history gives evidence that it is not. However it is so very hard to get them to hold still even to discuss Matthew 24:45-47 using Proclaimers of God's of Kingdom book. Its so very sad.
I know that you know this. BTW. I am half way through your book,"Wept". Talk about it later.

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT the things people believe about JESUS?
by Terry indo you ever "think about" the things you just take for granted about the story of jesus?.
there are things about christianity which should make honest thinkers scratch their head in wonder.. **.
when beloved (or hated) public figures are murdered (or executed), some rather large waves of reaction ensue.. there are two kinds of outcry both speculative and descriptive.

Terry, Vincent Bugliosi' book Reclaiming History: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy,puts all the pieces together.If you having read it I recommend it. It's a long one, however the best one out there and it satisfied me. The things people believe about JESUS is a take your pick i.e. he is a trinity no he is not. Which is it?

WHO would Jesus Christ DIS-FELLOWSHIP? A look at the problem of DF-ing
by Terry inloving and forgiving are a huge component of jesus' message to his disciples.. in answer to the question as to how many times forgiveness should be offered to an offender, jesus gave the reply, "seventy (times) seven.
" (variously interpreted as either 77 times or a multiple of 70 times 7).. an example is given of a man who owed a considerable sum of money whose debt was forgiven.
this man failed to forgive a much smaller debt owed to him.

How many times have we said,"If I knew then what i know now".??? So many years lost. For me over 33 years thinking about that promise.I'm 69 years old now and I know for certain that i will die as everything else does and on and on it goes.

For the time being at the age of 69 I have come to the conclusion that some questions are just unanswerable. I have come to accept that some things are unknowable at this time. I can live with that. This topic has been an eye-opener for me. I still remain in the unknowable place. Thanks its been interesting. Blueblades
