that is the title of one of the watchtower's seemingly endless list of books that was pushed out for sale placement in the jehovah's witness' ministry.
the title does ask a great question.
those who would deny that the bible is divine in origin usually point to failed prophecy, events that do not mesh with historic evidence, scientific evidence, or even plagiarism from other religions.
The Hebrews had a reason, purpose and intent to what they wrote especially concerning and relating to their god.
Through the knowledge of what mankind has acquired over the centuries, we can also see the apparent ignorance of the writers of the bible.
in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.
to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.
first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.
Its because the GB men want people to give their offering money to them, it therefore becomes an act of showing righteous loyalty to Jehovah.
" You love Jehovah's earthly organization don't you ? "
this was last updated in 2014it badly needs updating.
it is a list of watchtower (before and after) old light / new light doctrines.

Seems like god turns on and off the light randomly and humanity has to pay in doing so .
So many men want the power of god in their hands, yet they all say they are being spiritually guided from him but they say totally opposing things against one another.
ny times report on the drone strike in afghanistan - they killed an aid worker and his family including 7 children.. it was done as a political stunt so biden could claim they struck back at a terrorist (although it was a suicide bomb attack).. the attack was due to his incompetence and the drone strike done to distract from it.. his inappropriate touching of young girls now seems tame compared to his murder of young children.. he should be prosecuted.
he should be jailed.
he won't be, because us politics.. if you voted for him you're a shit that supports an inappropriate toucher and killer of children..
Little hard to believe that an aid worker transferring food and water, who was a worker for an American based NGO was at the same time a secretive ISIS terrorist, who just days before the attack applied for refugee status for himself and his family toward the US.
Sounds like someone screwed up badly.

'unanswered questions — disturbing ones — surround the case of a former school health aide charged with three second-degree felony counts of molesting a child.. here’s what we know: santa fe police arrested 30-year-old robert apodaca in july over allegations he sexually abused a boy in 2019, including at the school nurse’s office at gonzales community school.. .
apodaca and the boy knew each other through the north santa fe congregation of jehovah’s witnesses.
an elder at the congregation reported apodaca to police after the family came to him in june.
The elder who did the reporting is in trouble for disobeying the WTS directions and guidelines concerning situations of child sexual abuse.
The only other circumstance if is by local State law and approval by the WTS to report the situation to the local police or he's in for some whip ass.
i’m an atheist.. let’s assume i am wrong, i am willing to be.. let’s give people a god, let’s even make him the god of the bible…... does he deserve to be worshipped and obeyed?
if so, why does his abhorrent actions not morally make you question allegiance to him?.
does his authority alone allow him to murder and drown and order war, to throw people into a lake of fire?.
The god of the bible resume is bit tainted such as Noah's flood
just recently the stone pyramid monument at c t russell's grave site was taken away by the wts.. six screens of the watchtower did a public discussion about the removal which may be still on that web site, that's where i heard about it.. it had been recently vandalized such the top head piece was removed and the carved christian cross on the monument was chiseled off.. since the wts owns that grave site, they have the right to do whatever they want to do with it.. my guess is that they will never put it back or redo the damage.. i think they will put it away in a obscure place and cover it, locked up somewhere.. the wts.
has never been proud or willingly open about that monument for obvious reasons such as being associated in false religion, which they claim they are not and they admonish other christian faiths are.. your thoughts ?
.
The most damaging thing with C T Russell and Pyramidology is that it is connected to the WTS's dating of 1874 and 1914.
OOPS !
this is happening in western australian indigenous communities .... quote: "some american-based preachers are distributing emails and videos warning that covid-19 vaccines are evil and the work of satan, and the notion has infected some christian communities in the west australian outback.. veteran aboriginal health worker kathy watson said people spreading false information about the covid-19 vaccination and its links to the devil were "mad".".

Political ideology is just as dangerous as religious fanaticism.
True Jan but this thread is about religion and all of those dire consequences I mentioned about religion can come from political ideologies too even worse.

I wonder if in the near future the WTS will respond to questions about a stone monument at Russell's grave site in the shape of a pyramid by saying Apostate lies !
You really cant erase the information on the inter-net. it will always be there.
The WTS used to hide the WTS's old publications by Russell and so forth behind a locked door, there was a reason for that.

I think religion can cause a form of insanity which can develop fears, anxieties, superstitions, prejudices, hatred and ignorance, potentially not healthy in other words.
But I think we shouldn't make a brush stroke over them all, for some are not as indulgently harmful as others.
