Wouldn't it just makes sense for GOD to...

just one day perform some form of miracle in front of the entire earth in which he proves he exists???.

wouldn't this be the most loving and sensible thing to do?

for instance, this coming thursday god repeatedly strikes mount kilamanjaro to the point that it reads in hebrew, "god exists, i just did this.

Noah's Ark and the flood

2. beliefs
so this morning i was thinking about a few things that hit me like a ton of bricks:.

1. god destroyed the entire earth because man was evil - yet right after he destroyed them for being evil he said that he will never destroy all of manking again because the are evil.... 2. god asked noah to bring two of every kind on the ark.

then he gets off the ark and sacrifices some of these animals.

i am definitely not selling this product, but i just saw an advertisement for this and thought it is the perfect watch for the exjw who is trying to really just enjoy life and not try to have every second of everyday plotted out.. https://www.slow-watches.com/.

for instance my typical monday was:.

5:30 - 6:00 read text with wife and "meditate" on it.

by confusedandalone in
1. jw
2. experiences
so a good friend of mine who had an issue with the fact that charles taze russell was given the understanding of 2520 and 1914 etc.. and was not of the faithful slave.

he asked how could it be possible that jah would bless someone who was not part of his organization to have such understanding after reading the july 15 wt.

he read me the letter as a way to help me understand and accept the watchtower.

... that they actually have more of a desire to get to knoww you then jehovah's witnesses.

for years at the kingdom hall although i was an elder everyone "knew of me" but no one knew me.

i realized that i never really had a friend who knew anything about me as a person or my background.

You atheist really annoyed me
by confusedandalone in
1. jw
2. friends
when i first came to this site.

whenever i would try to talk about somethign from the bible that the jw's got wrong or reason on a scripture that had so much feeling you would stomp all over it.

talking about "flying spaghetti gods" and laugh at what seemed to be my expense and then leave the thread never to return and add any substance.

If the "Governing Body" arrangement is so effective and sanctioned by Jehovah
by confusedandalone in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
then why in the world was it only effective for what 10 years tops beforeit dissappears?.

there is never any direct mention of it anywhere - and even if implied how many decisions did it make?

if it was such a cornerstone and vital to the proper flow of god's earthly organization why doesn't it have a clear track record of existence as well as successful decisions.
