Curiously the god and father of Jesus has the morals of an Iron Age goat herder
And isn`t that about the Time / Age / period when the Bible was written ?
no subtlety here, it's going to be obvious where i'm going with this.
please consider the following scenario.. you're seated on a railway platform bench waiting for your train.
a high speed intercity is about to hurtle through without stopping when you see a small child running to the platforms edge!

What if you knew the child was going to grow into an incredibly evil person such as Hitler who would go on to kill millions of people? Would it be better to let one child die in order to save millions from death?
So why did GOD allow this child who did became Hitler survive child birth ?

If the world is in this condition, it is entirely god's fault. Or, it is exactly as he wishes for it to be.
Then again , maybe it`s because GOD does not exist .
hey guys!
i'm new on this site and am a non jw here married to a jw.
my husband's family are active members and they daily post articles on facebook from jw.org which i know is meant for me to see and read.
12000Kw,
I appreciate your sound reasoning on how different languages might use different pronunciations to names in the Bible, ,however you would think the Almighty GOD would like his name pronounced correctly no matter what language was used.?
I think you do well to remember my friend also that the WT / JW religion is an American man made sect ,of the late 19th early 20th Century that spawned a few such sects about the same time.
i believe this list which many of us worked on needs to see the light of day again...and added to if possible.. you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....
"do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in brooklyn in 1919?"2.
when you will be refused baptism if: a. you don't believe jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bc (whereas all non-jw scholars, all encyclopedias and all history books say this event took place in 587 bc.)b.
When you are involved with the Jehovah`s Witness religion.
become imitators of me.—1 cor.
11:1.. when paul said this, did he ask us to imitate his preach activities?
it is not a new verse that starts anew, but a verse that ends the previous chapter, so what paul says to imitate is shown in the previous chapter.
So you are asking someone here to interpret what Paul meant with the words he spoke ? After thousands of years ?
Why cant people just take what a person said is what he meant ? When he said it ?
dear brothers!.
we have gathered here because, according to your claims, i have apostatized, and as elders, it is your duty to maintain the purity of the flock.
it seems now that someone has contaminated it, apparently.
There is no way i could/would wade through that post ,please learn to simplify your posts with all due respect.
atheist scientists now agree that "elasmotherium sibiricu" lived with humans.
all they had to do was read their bible to know that.
job 39:9 “will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?”.
Maybe it just shows that you can`t really believe everything you read in the Bible as being gospel ?
after years of speculation, jw movie star & chorus member nicolas king, who ironically starred as the bad guy espousing homosexuality in a jw movie, has coupled up with his performing partner and also performed in a church for pride month.. .

People on this site like to know if someone of prominence as a JW has now left the Borg ,OK?
putting this under "friends" because i couldn't figure out where to put it.
it is very often on here and in ex jw videos, ect that people like to undermine some of those who once we would have called friends.
there seems to be a view that window washers, plumbers, cleaners, construction workers are somehow less intelligent than those who may be college educated.
NOT ONE To BE PICKY , enoughisenough ,however I fail to see why plumbers and construction workers are included in your list ? As being less educated ?
Just saying LOL
