...why have you left the god and his son?.
There is an so called old earth creationist called Hugh Ross who apparently rejects evolution. He says
"The most likely biblical date for the creation of Adam and Eve, therefore, would lie between 55,000 and 120,000 years ago. However, the date could be stretched as far back as 230,000 years ago".

i ask this now because i have been living in this town for the past 14 years and the circle of friends i have now i have never let on i am an ex jw.. i`m talking about 30-50 people at least.. not that the subject has ever really come up , but i think they would be shocked / amazed that i was a ( i hate this word ) a "devout" jw for 32 years going around knocking on peoples doors trying to convert them to the religion .. yet every now and again i get tempted to.. how say you ?.
Im not ashamed to admit either. Although we left when I was teen, it definetly had a unfurtunate impact on us as a family and as kids. Funny thing is that as I grow older people stop asking if I am still in. Maybe it my beard and holes in the jeans
hehe I am a repeated visit or what you call it in the US, although we have only spoken in phone

Anna Marina,
Yes. It is interesting that the creation record does not mention angels. Also there seems to be some aftermath upon chaosbattle going on. There was creation before. Genesis 1 concerns with what the ancestors of ancient Israel could see with their eyes.

Anna Marina,
Does it not start with "in the beginning"?
there is this new movie out called "king richard" staring will smith playing serena and venus williams father.
i don't know much about this, but i heard that they were raised by jw parents.
how does that factor into the movie and their growing up aspiring tennis stars?.
I saw a meme about all the historical white people that got blackwashed, even a German Hitler era general. I laughed hysterically. Considerably more funny that the sad statistics about black on white crime in the US.

Anna Marina,
Genesis 1-11 are divine myths. Tales that reveals truth without being historical. Adam and Eve represents us all. So you got anything else to offer?
simple.. you cannot find the word there (or many of the comical variations such as: a triune godhead, the triunity, co-equal god beings, godhead, a hypostaic union, divine essences, divine natures, a god-the-son, a god-the-ghost, hypostasis, homoousios, perichoresis , a godman, omnipresence, incarnation, a god who is a sacred mystery, a god 'in three persons', dual natures, a reincarnate god, a first person of the trinity, a second person of the trinity, a third person of the trinity, godness, a tri-unity or a multipersonal god), or any of the so-mentioned aspects.. jehovah identified himself (not 'themselves") as on one god, as did jesus and all the prophets.
.
so, come, let us know of the simple twists of the clergy!.
Just believe what Spurgeon said. Best preacher ever.
so after jehovah kills 8 billion people "for not knowing him'" he is going to resurrect 100 billion humans because " they didn't know him" .
the 8 million jw's will be tasked with educating these ones.
that's 1 jw for every 12k resurrected ones.
waton, to the ancient mind, the earth hangs on nothing. Nothing tangible nor the arm of a god. So if we dont force modern science concept on the ancient text, it is true indeed.

On one level it is funny, that ex JWs whine so much about the doctrine about Jehovah slaughtering the non JWs at Armageddon considering Evangelicals teach that those who die without faith in the trinity get eternal punishment. On the other hand it can not the match the fun of the combo of that Armageddon doctrine and the idea of all the ignorant billions being raised minus those that refused JW and some other baddies. It is clearly a seriously half assed solution from the hand of Rutherford that took Russell's second chance / one real chance theology and added some later day Evangelical doctrine seeing himself as the judge in Matthew 25. You could be cynical and say that people that follow such an idiotic doctrine deserves what comes to them.
