You know what it is: the moment you really step out of this shit... And I mean really in the sence of: "I do not give a f*** what they are teaching... I am free" is the most joyable moment of my life. I am faded, still officially in, all relatives are stubornly true to this shit but I am free.
do not try to follow their reasoning cause it is dumbass from the start. just start to implement new things! Stop studying that crap for christs sake (o dear... He does not even exist does he?)

El, Baal and JHVH
by Doug Mason inone of the most important sources that we have for the most ancient stages of the religion of israel are some epic texts about the gods of canaan that were found in an archaeological excavation in a place called ras shamra (ancient ugarit) early in the twentieth century.
these epics reveal a very rich ancient canaanite mythology, especially in the elaborated stories of the gods el and baal and their rivals and consorts.
while, of course, the israelite branch of the canaanite group partly defined itself through the rejection of this mythology, much of the imagery and narrative allusions that we find in the works of the israelite prophets, the psalms, and other biblical poetic texts are best illuminated through comparison with these ancient texts.

i researched the same about El etc. What really is interesting is the golden calf worship in the desert which means that for some reason it was normal to pray to El... JHWH had to take over there (or at least the jews wanted it to be).

Ever notice how JW's can attend a talk or Convention and remember nothing?
by Wasanelder Once inhow many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!
yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?
and conventions weren't far off either.

It was one of the things that annoyed me the most. The strange thing is that most uberdubs mostly know nothing about theology and the bible. They love the gatherings, the organisation etc... But they know shit about the contents. That is the folks these GB dorks wants.

Scientists Should Not Dismiss Genesis So Quickly
by Chris Tann innasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.
the debate.
for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.

It would have made sense if
1. We are the center of the universe (which we aren't)
2. We were not made out of chaos (waste)
Even if the events of Genesis show us the exact situation (which it doesn't)... It then is still an observation of the syntaxis of what happened but not the exact cause of it. Why would a God use some crap from the universe to start something new and unique? It is against the laws of fysics, morals etc. And if it took billions of years you might as well call it evolution right?

Jehovah's Witnesses are the only people who don't practice war and who preach worldwide!
by EndofMysteries inthis is what somebody has been telling me, trying to convince me aside from anything one can say or cause reason for doubt, as the evidence that they are the true religion and true people of god.
they are convinced because while 'all other' christian and other religions support war, troops, etc, jw's don't and they are the only one's who carry god's name and preach.
nothing else matters.

There is no good Batman without an extrordinary good villain. Christian Bale ( whO was excellent in Equilibrium) was the perfect Batman ... But not without Neeson, Ledger and Hardy (And the rest of the cast)... Keaton was nothing without Nickolson really but Bale and Heatcher (RIP :() were better!

What bugged my mind al these years was: what kind of weapons did they use? How the hell can spirits fight eachother? Was it wordgames like a rapbattle? Did they have lightsabers? What is a war without casualties? same with the angel in daniel who wanted to reach him but was not able too. He had to wait for Michael... Why? Did the demonlord have a hidious and deadly anti-angel rifle in his arsenal?
