How do JWs explain Egyptian society and culture surviving the flood?

by BU2B in

ok this is something have been wondering.

has anyone heard any explanation from jws as to how egypt, which even the wt admits existed 4600 years ago, was eliminated by a global flood but resumed a few short years later with the same culture, language etc.

the pyramids are older than the wt date for the flood.

Gobekli Tepe was a stone age civilization that existed between 11,000 to 12,000 years ago. This is thousands of years before the flood myth as well as the WT dating of the garden of Eden account.

This blows WT chronology and the literal account of Adam & Eve to pieces.

If the governing body who claim to have a direct line to the god who created humans can't even get the first book of the bible correct, why should anyone beleive anything they put forward as fact?

I was wondering why did they pick a gray color on their new bibles?

if i was on the committee to choose colors, i will definitely turn down that really ugly color!.

Stealth

Maybe they heard that 50 shades of gray was really popular now so they wanted to get in on that.

I'am in the Penalty Box! I asked the Circuit Overseer "Who Donates Blood For Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Fragments".

by AuntConnie in

told my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.

we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".

said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.

AuntConnie, Did you not claim in another recent thread that you may soon become the first COW posting on JW.net? Are you trying to sabatoge your husband's chance of becoming a CO? GOOD FOR YOU!

AC said: I told you I am married to a sixth-grade educated elder with half a brain, he usually speaks without using a inner monologue. It's funny because I will catch him after I posed a question, thinking that he better shut his mouth or else speaking the truth might land him out of his position. He should have been born to a rich family with a trust-fund because he does not like to work....

There you have it folks, the qualifications to move up in the JW organization. With those qualifications he could move all the way up to become a member of the governing body.

Bumpy weekend ahead

by krejames in

although i'm sure she knows i'm not going to meetings, i don't know whether she realised i will not be going to any more meetings.

not looking forward to that time on sunday when i tell her she's going on her own.

Tell her you have a surprise for her Sunday morning and take her out to a Sunday brunch instead.

Kingdom Hall in Chile has National flag!!

by wolfman85 in

in the spanish website extj one forum user shows evidence that on the 18th and 19th of september in chile the government calls to honor the nation displaying the national flag everywhere.

failure to do so is liable to a fine.

you can see the photos here: http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?23799-celebracion-de-la-patria-y-la-doble-moral-de-los-tjs-auspiciado-por-la-watch-tower/page2.

If this were a WT conspiracy, there would be flags in ALL of the kingdom halls in Chile, not just one. The fact that there is just one photo of one hall, does not prove anything, certainly not WT hypocrocy except possibly at the local level.

I can't take this crap anymore. It's time to get pro-active!

by BONEZZ in

ive been around this board for quite awhile.

it has helped immensely.

lately i just read everyone elses experiences and try and forget the whole nightmare...but i cant.

Stealth

Copy the video on a stack of CDs and scatter them throughout the kingdom hall parking lot during a meeting. At least you will be getting the message to those who really need to receive it.

How do I get them to stop houding me?

i stopped attending all meetings this summer.

i prefer not to be dfed or to da myself.

i just want to be inactive.

Stealth

I switched to another congregation, attended for a couple weeks and then stopped cold. No one really knew me well enough to notice or care. I was not contacted by anyone in 11 years and only then because one of my adult children started attending the same hall.
