  Fiction:

  You do not loose friends and family. Only those who have been disfellowshiped you lose.

  Reality:

  When most of your family are witnesses and you are not, your relationship with them will never be the same.

  Texas-apostates are wusses

  i'm sick-and-tired of this endless debate about which area of the world has the largest concentration of supe-high-quality apostates.. without a doubt, and as the physical facts prove, the pacific northwest is far-and-away the apostate capital of the world.. oh, sure, there're a few decent folks in texas, maybe even one or 2 in the uk, and canada deserves an honourable mention, but look at the facts!.

  y'all need to face zion and genuflect..

  Awesome post Frannie. Funny though these hypocrites never would have made their BS excuses if they hadn't been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

  what do you find yourself doing differently?.

  do you ever feel a little shocked when your opinions on certain things have changed?

  Canaanite legend quoted in 2 Samuel 1:21?

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the legend of aqhat, one of the great epic myths preserved in the ugaritic archive at ras shamra, was popular in some form in israel and judah and shows its traces in the ot and later jewish literature.

  ezekiel 14:12-20, 28:1-3 makes several passing references to the legend and its hero, an ancient semi-divine king named danel renowned for his wisdom and healing powers.

  danel was one of the rephaim, a primeval race of demigod kings who linger on as spirits in sheol and who were revered by the canaanites in ancestor worship (cf.

  One of the Psalms mentions Yahweh standing in the assembly of the Gods. However the NWT reads it to say that Jehovah stands in his own assembly. I'll have to wait until I'm back at home to get the exact scripture, I'll post it tomorrow. I take this scripture to show that the Israelites were aware of the Canaanite roots of their god. I think this is also evidenced by the references to the golden calf. El in Canaanite theology was represented by a bull, Baal was a calf.

  El was referred to as the Father of Time, the Father of all Things... among other titles. Sound familiar. No wonder this hebrew God was a jealous god.

  Revelation Warning To WTS- A Plague upon The GB

  by Sargon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me the wts selectively reads the bible:i am bearing witness to everyone that hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: if anyone makes an addition to these things, god will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll.

  rev.

  22:18. pretty plain language i'd say, nothing ambiguous about it.

  Leolaia,

  I knew you'd have something interesting to say about my last comment. There is a definate link between Sargon, Gilgamesh, and Nimrod. I think this has to do with the fact that most of this was oral history. I also feel that for a person who is only mentioned once in the bible, Nimrod is badly maligned by the WTS. As a matter of fact one of my earliest posts dealt with this:

  Leolaia,
  

  I've thought alot about Canaanite ties to the early hebrews. Wasn't El the head of the Canaanite pantheon of Gods?

  Editted to add: I forgot the reason I chose my avatar Sargon was the similarity of his birth to that of Moses, even though Sargon pedates Moses. There are alot of early myths incorporated into the hebrew bible.

  They told that Sargon was born to the daughter of the head man of a minor town. His father was unknown, and the mother, to hide the child's birth, lined a basket with pitch to make it water-tight, and setting the babe within, entrusted him to the current of the Euphrates.
