can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.
In agreement with blondie
It's like a recruitment drive for people to join their version of Christianity even before people have been given the opportunity and time to deconstruct from being in a high control group and then do their own independent research so they can make a informed decision for themselves.
is there any independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and did the things that the bible said he did?.
the four gospels were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events, so can't be considered as eyewitness accounts.
i think that there may have been a apocalyptic preacher who was executed by the romans and the story evolved from their.

People are free to believe what they want, just as we were when we were jws, and something or someone said or did something to make us think about whether what we were being told was true or not (UN exposure for me) and then you do independent research and discover that we were being lied to and controlled and manipulated.
For those who insist he never existed, all I asked was for evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed and the evidence clearly showed that he did not.
I just hope that raising this question someone reading the well researched factual evidence given will go on to do their own research into the topic and the bible in general without being told that jesus loves you but he knows were you stay .

the thing - I was an atheist for about half my life, so I already know how they think. I believed in evolution. I did the college thing and I know the typical response that so-called "educated" atheists give. I was one of them.
I was raised as a jw and was one until about 7 years ago I'm in my 60s now and then I started to read the bible properly and do some independent research into the story's and history of the bible, its fascinating how the bible evolved into what it is today and now I'm a atheist, you should read the bible with a open and honest mind and remove the god glasses and forget about god magic and then you we see that the bible is the uninspired word of man.

All dated decades after the so called events, so not eyewitness accounts, no proof that he was anything more than a end of time preacher who upset the Romans so they executed him like many others at that time.

Are you going to wait until you actually see Jesus in the flesh? (He is coming back again in a materialized body.)
Can you please provide independently verified evidence that jesus came in the first place, because he can't return if he never arrived in the first place.
Can you Be specific in your evidence.
If you can't produce any evidence at least be honest about it and admit there isn't any.
That your beliefs in jesus are a matter of faith rather than facts

f a person feels threatened by truth, it's because that "threatened" person's conscience is bothering them. It has nothing to do with the person who stated the truth, although the typical response from a person who is in denial is to blame the messenger.
The truth of the matter is that nobody has provided any evidence that jesus existed, so why should my conscience bother me that's the truth of the matter.
And that your imaginary friend has a imaginary sword doesn't bother me either.

No I'm not there is no evidence for god ,so the bible is the uninspired word of man used as a means to control and manipulate people.
. If you reject the scriptures it will be to your detriment .
Why do you have to resort to threatening speak to make your point.

All scriptures are inspired of god and beneficial for teaching, reproving and setting things straight.
If god inspired these men with such a important message about his son and the future of mankind, you would think he would have made sure that their story's all match up and no contradictions ,and would have made sure that the message was clear and understandable with no ambiguity and the original copys were preserved for our day.
