1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

so i'm reading the book "the atheist book of bible stories" and something just occurred to me.. noahs ark rested on the top of mount ararat.
how the hell did all the land animals, dinosaurs and other monsters get to ground level?
did noah and his family just push them off the mountain and hope for the best?

tiki "My big question is how Noah managed to grow the produce to turn into booze and get himself inebriated so soon.... " Easy, since Noah was one of the early typical JWs, a preacher of righteousness, he hand probably ballast tanks filled with the good stuff build into the Ark.
your name Kon-tiki indicates you should be an expert on things wooden floating a long time.
there is no end to their madness.

ttdtt: "--that had the time from Now to the End be almost as long as the time before that. !!!!
I did not hear that part, but your point is a fact. and it would allow them to say in 2075, we told you so. If you subtracted from the date of death of an "anointed" that "served" in 1914, 1914, and added those years to the date of funeral, you have the possible Armageddon date. even then it is an iffy 2075, for the George Gangas example ( died 19196).
i've reached the point where i feel legitimate comment needs to be backed by knowledge of the source.. i'll post occasional updates on how i'm doing and what i'm learning .

Is there a concordance one can purchase? cross references?
added, if not. start one.
the org is now demanding money from the witnesses, via the latest letter sent to elders regarding the circuit's excess funds.
succeeded in getting elders everywhere to hand over their own congregation's "excess funds" - now their circuit's bank balances are going to be plundered.. the spineless and subservient elders will cooperate without a whimper, because they're afraid of losing their little bit of power which the org has bestowed upon them.
(john 11:48).
TS: "J.W. elders should feel sick to their stomachs after this, because they cannot now deny their complicity in this scam!
If it is this that, and if there is going to be an accounting, some elders will become more desperate, even more unreasonably controlling. fanatical, think berlin 1945.

kalk: --myth and a moral story for the age it was written. for the age of the kids for which the book full of bible stories was written. When sitting in an jw audience, always remember the speaker,writer believes in talking snakes, asses, All life floating on an ocean, ~ 3 times higher than it is now. wow,
there is no end to their madness.

He must have meant "inspired by demons" in the sense of Revelation 16:13, 14
Eden.
he cited 1John 4:6 midway, but finally it came down to demons and satan Rev. using your parents to introduce it, see my previous post

JM: God miraculously recreated the animals in places such as
since "jesus" said that the end of the world will be like Noah's day, , in that one's time he was just practising the resurrection as animal research for the major event coming soon, not later than 2075,

On point No 3, : it was led into by the question: " If you hear somebody say: "well, I did not think My kids would go to school, but they did, [1976] , now my great grandchildren go to kindergarten--" well, would you not you picture a smiling senior bragging about his faithful years, his wisdom the pride to have passed on his genes, --but no, in wt's eyes, this is satanic, demon inspired error, because it projects the same scenario into the future.
Wt writers deliberately treat the R&F with contempt, at the same time gumming up their minds with these obfuscations, and sowing suspicion among all. Do these COs have a conscience or are they too dumb to realize the t{f)ools they are?
making your family that speak the truth, history,- to be viewed as purveyors of inspired error. apostate thought really-- good.
