It has always been said that the earth was much flatter than with small peaks (how stupid), and that the FLOOD waters pushed the mountains up, made the Grand Canyon and yada yada.
And we all bought into that crap by the way.

Flood over everest
by road to nowhere inmeeting part comment on how the flood covered everest.
that is even more ignorant than mountains being pushed up and eroding in a few thousand years.
and it wasnt cold either.. i should have commented on the bristlecone in the awake that survived the flood.

Court overturns $35 million sex abuse verdict against Jehovah's Witnesses
by iwantoutnow inshocking!.
the montana supreme court has unanimously overturned the largest civil verdict against the jehovah's witnesses in u.s. history in a closely-watched case on the requirements of religious leaders to report suspected incidents of child sexual abuse.. the ruling, issued wednesday, erased a $35 million jury verdict to alexis “lexi” nunez, who was abused by a member of the thompson falls, mont, congregation.
elders at the local kingdom hall knew of separate allegations against the man, but did not report those to law enforcement after relying on legal advice from headquarters that clergy in montana are not required to report allegations deemed by religious organizations to be “confidential.”.

Everyone see this! SHOCKING!
The Montana Supreme Court has unanimously overturned the largest civil verdict against the Jehovah's Witnesses in U.S. history in a closely-watched case on the requirements of religious leaders to report suspected incidents of child sexual abuse.
The ruling, issued Wednesday, erased a $35 million jury verdict to Alexis “Lexi” Nunez, who was abused by a member of the Thompson Falls, Mont, congregation. Elders at the local Kingdom Hall knew of separate allegations against the man, but did not report those to law enforcement after relying on legal advice from headquarters that clergy in Montana are not required to report allegations deemed by religious organizations to be “confidential.”
The case – followed intensely by survivors, advocates, religious organizations, scholars, & lawyers across the country – was featured in one of the installments of a four-part 2019 Hearst Television National Investigative Unit series called, ‘Silent No More,’ which uncovered new allegations of child sexual abuse and decades-long cover ups inside the Witnesses organization nationwide.
NIU cameras were granted rare access to bring cameras into a state supreme court’s oral arguments in September to report on the Nunez hearing in Montana.

Outcast Doctrines
by Socrateswannabe inin a recent post about the watchtower’s claim that all animals were created as vegetarians, one commenter said that watchtower could no longer sustain this belief so they simply stopped talking about it.
i began thinking about other wacky doctrines and statements by the borg that have faded away.
i’ll offer two of them below, but the complete list must be longer than your arm.. 7000 year-long creative days: watchtower once taught that each of the creative days was 7,000 years in duration, hence the hype leading up to 1975. they believed that year marked 6,000 years since adam’s creation, and oh how nicely the 1,000-year reign would fit as the last piece of the puzzle, thus completing the final “day”.

Even when I was young and a 100% believer, being into science and astronomy, I knew they were 100% wrong with that stuff, and it was just trying to make numbers fit with 144000 and bs like that.
SO much numerology!
But I still took the rest hook line and LIFE SINKER.

New NWT deception at Genesis 8:22 to indicate earth remains forever.
by jwfacts ini could not find mention of this before.
i was reading genesis 8:22 in the niv and was surprised i had never noticed that this verse gives the impression that the earth will not remain forever.
genesis 8:22 stated by god after the flood, when promising to never again destroy all living creatures.. as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.

You are parsing the bible as if any of it makes sense, or is true?
What's the point, its a bad fiction book.

Would You Ever Go Back To The Witnesses??
by minimus inevery once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.
some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

No.
It is a CULT that wasted 48 years of my life.Cost me a possible career I may have cherished, a normal family, a GOOD SEX LIFE, a stable financial future, a lot of friends (who i lost cuz i dont go to meetings), and even a stable emotional base.
I'd sooner dance the tarantella nude in an ice storm in Time Square.
Does that answer your question?

It is funny.
I was stabbed in the back by a number of elders (cuz they did not get the privileges I did - didnt matter that they could not put a coherent thought together).
I used it as a great way to fade - but the elders SHOULD have reacted as if I was STUMBLED, and tried to make amends.
Well - that didnt happen, THANKFULLY!
The CULT does not practice what it it preaches.
