Proof that Bible is a Hoax

by Monsieur in

if the bible is really a very intricate hoax, what is the objective?.

i've read some theories that it has been used to succesfully make a 'business' of religion.. is this really it?

to make money?.

Welcome to the Board OSO93! I was also a born in and have had similar experiences growing up as a JW. By waking up to the truth about the truth, I hope you can find freedom of mind and spirit.

What argument is there for a single God?

by Qcmbr in

mormon culture is replete with the concept of multiple gods and requires it to work.

other than a few biblical references does anyone have any compelling arguments for why any god, deist , creationist or full on personal god would - of necessity- be alone.

the argument seems somewhat weaker if the gender is applied as well.

There could possibly be a Higher Power and most likely be multiple beings (or Gods) But most likely, everything evolved and there could be infinite Universes and dimensions out there that could not even imagine. Its a mystery.

Another reason why 1914 is WRONG

by EdenOne in

even if 607 had been the actual date of the destruction of jerusalem .... 1914 would still be wrong.

when the wts says that "7 times" equals 2 x 3,5 times of revelation = 2 x 1260 days = 2520 days > one day / one year rule = 2520 years.. now, 2520 / 7 times means that one "time" has 360 "days".

this corresponds to the lunar year.

So the original 1878 dating for the 'end of the gentiles' that Russel first started using (borrowed by others) was a calculation by converting lunar years to solar years starting from 607BCE? Wow, thats rich!

How do these Hard Core JW's Function?

i am a fader and through the years i've known and spoken to jw's who live their entire life around the religion.

they live as though they speak with jesus himself!

what really got to me was the other day me and my wife had to stop by some elder's house and it was a saturday night.

Zordino

I just don't know how people can talk about non existent people or spirits (most likely fictional) in that way. They talk about Bibble characters (namely Jehovah) like they just went out for a beer with them last night. Its scary!

I am a fader and through the years I've known and spoken to Jw's who live their entire life around the religion. They live as though they speak with Jesus himself! What really got to me was the other day me and my wife had to stop by some Elder's house and it was a Saturday night. Both he, his wife and their 4 children were all studying their Watchtower's for Sunday. The brother and his wife are regular pioneer's and ofcourse broke as hell barely surviving with 4 kids. Old furniture in their home as though they found it on the street...... it just shocked me. The brothers WT mag was not just underlined but with tons of notes written on the sides of the pages. Personally, I can't even stay awake during the meeting less do an hour of pre-study. And when the bro spoke, in every sentence its Jehovah this or Theocratic that. I just cannot imagine living that kind of a life. Not to knock these people, they are very nice, but in a way I feel sorry for them. If only they could put all that effort on something usefull!

I'm curious as to what causes many people like this to be so devoted to it. What is the phsycology behind what makes them tick?
