Cofty, no it does not. Its like picking out some good ideas in Mein Kampf or saying yes the Easter bunny is not real but this or that is a good idea about it. Or those who live in some Star Wars fantasy or other fictitious fantasy. The idea that murder is wrong is not something humans would do whole sale if not for the Bible. You are desperately trying to save something you know is BS. Toss it out you don't need it. Don't try to find a good piece of meat on a rotting carcass.

This also happens inside a country like the USA. We have Liberal idiots who destroy a state such as NY or California. They tax the producers and give to the bums and let the bums live anywhere and do what they want like in San Francisco where they have made it not a crime to shop lift under 900 dollars worth of stuff. LMAO now California is a shit hole and the center leftists move out because its a shit hole and move to the mid west and south and bring the same shit that destroyed where they moved from. Its a disease.

Liberal idiots do not seem to understand that a nation can not be the battered shelter of the world. I know they want to bring in more idiots who will blindly vote for anyone or thing that will give them free shit but its an idea that will destroy the host country. Muslims for example may vote for the liberal idiots who will open the flood gates but the very same Muslims would when they can throw most of the liberal idiots off a building and kill all the gays. Liberals are too brain dead to understand these concepts. In Dearborn Michigan a once wonderful upscale town is now full on Muslim. Public signs are in Arabic and they have stoned Christians living in the area. This is what Liberal idiots just don't get.

Don't put it on the world wide web if you don't want others opinion on it. LMAO. Funny how any religion I have ever encountered and I have studied a lot, none do well with real questions. Being raised in a religious cult the Jehovah's Witnesses I had many elders rubbing their head when I would use critical thinking to ask questions about its beliefs and the bible itself. Most Christians don't even know the history of their own religion. First off the bible was not handed down by god. It was a group of separate books and letters that were put together by Constantine the Greats bishops at the Council of Nicea in 312 CE. Before that time there were many books written by Christians like Thomas, Mary Magdalene and others that were thrown out or even burned. This was done so the narrative the council wanted to promote at that time would be pushed.
Most Christians don't even know that there are no, not one book of the bible that is not a copy of a copy. No original writings exist or have been found. It would be like finding a letter written by George Washington that had been copied and copied and the only one found was one that had been copied some 300 years after GW died. The gospels are not even known who actually wrote them, its an attributed guess as to Mathew mark Luke and john., and so it is with the first 5 books where Moses is attributed as the writer but the actual writer writes about Moses death and burial.
Then you have the geological column that shows no global flood ever occurred and the fossil record that shows Man and Dinosaurs did not exist at the same time by a long shot. The earth is not 6 thousand years old but some 4.5 billion and that is proven by science and radio active decay. Occam's Razor is a good way to look at the bible and religion. Which is more plausible that some goat herders who knew nothing of how the world worked wrote of how god created the world bla bla bla or that the world is in the shape its in because a supernatural creature disguised as a talking snake talked a woman made of a rib from a man made of mud was talked into eating a piece of fruit from a tree that dispensed knowledge and hence the fall of man. Sorry to all the Christians but this does not pass the smell test by miles.

Did You Know Any "Genuine"" Old School Anointed?
by Number 6 ingrowing up in scotland in the 1970s in scotland the anointed were few and far between, but we had one old dude in our cong who claimed to be one of the anointed.
in the days when it was taken seriously.. i'd be curious how you viewed them.
thing is, he wasn't an elder, or even a ministerial servant, just a plain old publisher.. but he was revered like he had a hotline to jesus.. the other week i was talking to a friend of similar age to me but who hung around the wt a lot longer than i did, and he just commented "oh him... he was a doddery old fool who used to just sit and piss himself.

In the late 60s we had a couple Fred and Betty Best who were sent to our area by the society to help spread the word. They were both recognized by the society as anointed. They were responsible for getting my large extended family in the cult.

Email from JW relative/elder
by Lynnie inas much as i enjoy you and pete's company, you also know our understanding of how much we want you to be reunited with jehovah and his people.. .
we did not set the standards for what jehovah says about our associations with those who choose to not serve him.
so we will always be there for you and pete, but it is in your hands as to how we can enjoy your friendship.. .

Upon learning of a terminal illness would you return to being a JW to appease your family?
by NVR2L8 inthis is an hypothetical question...i am doing well.
but i was thinking about how my jw family, grandchildren and all will feel when their inactive grandfather dies with no hope of being reunited in paradise.
of course there would be immediate rejoicing if i came back to the "truth" and a surge of conditional love from the "friends".
