  Update - Talk # 6 THE FLOOD OF NOAH’S DAY AND YOU

  by ttdtt in

  instead of scraping this talk they updated it.. so they still try and make this look like it happened, and that there is plenty of evidence.to do that they refer to the (w08 6/1 8) found at http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2008411the main evidence is that floods have happened in the past, including.... geologists studying the landscape of the northwestern united states believe that as many as 100 ancient catastrophic floods once washed over the area.

  one such flood is said to have roared through the region with a wall of water 2,000 feet [600 m] high, traveling at 65 miles an hour [105 km/hr]—a flood of 500 cubic miles [2,000 cu km] of water, weighing more than two trillion tons.

  similar findings have led other scientists to believe that a global flood is a distinct possibility.. i could not find such an event, except for remembering one of those "disaster" shows on discover about that.

  I was gonna mention the catastrophic flood that resulted when the ice dam holding lake Missoula broke. (the last time) It's a subject that's pretty close to home considering I'm sitting in Missoula MT right now haha. In certain spots you can still see where waterlines once were on the sides of mountains, and there are other geological features that indicate this area was once underwater.

  In the mid 2000s I flew commercial from Seattle to Spokane over the Washington desert/Badlands. It was obvious that a massive amount of water had rushed over that area at one point. I saw huge ripples probably a mile from peak to peak in the terrain like you would find on a sandy beach, and Delta type formations.

  These features were pretty clearly defined and that (last) flood was supposed to have happened 10,000 - 14,000 years ago.

  If the whole earth had been flooded a measley 4000 years ago, it would be blaringly apparent everywhere on the planet.

  as much as i want to believe in the bible and wish for a god that is watching over us and love us; i find it difficult to comprehend that a loving god will erase mankind with fireballs, earthquakes, and kill childrens, mothers, and fathers who refused to believe in the bible.

  and i can’t help but to take their side in all these.

  i mean: what has god really done to show that he is love and that he exists and is watching how we act.

  Not to mention that this whole test was supposedly because Satan said humans could rule themselves and didn't need god. But from what the bible and JWs teach, God and satan never once left humans alone to try and rule themselves. From the very beginning of the Bible, you have them both meddling in human affairs trying to sway things their direction. Stories like the one about Job, which was basically just a bet, and God "hardening Pharaoh's heart", to even today, when JWs think Satan has control over every facet of government and religion.

  What would that be proving? All it is, is a universal pissing contest between God and Satan. The very basis of their core doctrine is flawed, it makes zero sense.

  And yes when the JW teachings crumbled, it took any belief in God or the Bible with it.

  The diabolical plan of the WTBTS.

  2. beliefs

  diabolical, or just really dumb, desperate and grasping for control; either way, the devil is in the details of the january 15, 2016 "study edition" of the watchtower tractazine.

  so, we have two intertwined articles concerning "anointed" individuals within the sect of the wtbts inc. "the spirit bears witness with our spirit.

  " and "we want to go with you people.

  How do the r&f not see what's going on here? I mean, its not even a picture of a kid with money going into the maze, its just a picture of a f*****g hand holding out money. How much more blatant can they get? They might as well just come out and say "We don't care about you, just put your money in the box, spend all your time trying to find other people to put money in the box, and don't complain about it".

  I found mine in my door today. I carefully wadded it up and placed it in the garbage can, but not before noting the time and date of the memorial so that when that time and date comes, I can reflect on how happy I am to not be sitting there listening to some idiot drone on about nothing.

  Evolution is a Fact #28 - Something Darwin Didn't Say

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  one of my friends posted an inspirational picture on facebook this morning.

  even before i checked i knew that it was a fictional quote.

  it was written by somebody who has not grasped a basic fact about evolution.. darwin did not say this.... it is a common misunderstanding that evolution favours individuals who are able to adapt to their environment.

  I can't just walk away, I need to keep reinforcing what I did was right (Leaving the org)

  by pleaseresearch in

  2. bible

  when i speak to my mum about things, she says why do you keep looking on the internet and news etc... why don't you just live your life and forget what you learned growing up.. maybe i was so so indoctrinated as a child that even though i have woken up and learnt ttatt, i still need to keep up to date with new findings from ex and fellow brothers and sisters.

  listening to their testimony about why they left.. this was to me and all of you i'm sure, the truth.

  so to finally wake up is absolutely massive.

  Same here. Although I've been out for almost 9 years, I like to stick around here and keep up on things because my parents are still in, and some of the guilt of them thinking they're going to lose me "soon" is a bit of a cloud over my conscience sometimes. I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does.
  I'm waiting for the silver bullet of information that might wake my parents up. I don't have a lot to add so I mostly lurk here.
  Part of me also wants to watch as this worthless cult crumbles to the ground.
