  law school is obviously not the hardest program to follow.

  it isn't something that can be replicated on the internet.

  a first year student can find the law.

  Someone link me to the fight thread! I am hoping it is worth this post. It could be entertaining. I missed it somehow.

  i was raised a jw and i am still one but recently i have been having trouble believing in a god.

  this is not meant to offend anyone who does, i am just curious to see if i am the only one who thinks this..... to start, i am a very black and white person.

  if 1+1=2 it makes sense to me and i can agree with it.

  Sorry to post so much... But, one other book that really helped me when I was first stuck where you are is written by Bart Ehrman. It's called Misquoting Jesus. Once you understand how the bible was written and translated and reproduced, all your questions start to make more sense.

  So god made sure that every word of the bible was faithfully preserved. It is all inspired. Except for when they removed his name. He could make sure the right books were picked and that every word was exactly as it should.... Except his name... He couldn't keep that in there.

  Welcome to the board!!!! I remember exactly how you feel. It's so confusing. I needed meds actually to cope in the beginning.

  Might I suggest please you try this book - Why Evolution Is True by Jerry Coyne

  you will learn so much, and you will enjoy reading it. It's written for the average person like us.

  How do JWs Not see how barbaric YHWH is? Its what started my awakening.

  by BU2B in

  2. bible

  if one reads genesis from the first chapter through the end with an open mind, it is clear that not only is it not true, but that god is potrayed as a cruel, petty, childish micromanaging tyrant.

  if one continues reading the ot this is just further solidified.

  how do jws not see the obvious?

  I'd throw up if I watched Noah the movie...

  God is probably sad about rainbows now. After all the homosexual community identifies with them. How sad for god...

  I bet when god was walking through the garden in the breezy part of the day looking for Adam to see what he was up to, and he figured out Adam was hiding somewhere, but he couldn't find him... he was probably sad he made that damn tree. Kind of like in movies when bad guys put a self destruct button on their fantastic weapon, or when a bomb has a simple switch to turn it off. Then the bad guy is like, oh man! Why did I make that self destruct button!!!

  That's god.

  Why did I make talking snakes??? Why did I make that tree they can't eat so that it looks so desirable??? Wait... Why did I make it at all??? Wait!!!!! Quick!! You cherub! Yes, you! Here, take this sword thing I just thought of and go guard the tree of Immortality!!!! OMG! Those little brats could eat my live forever tree and really screw me!!!!

  My Judicial Meeting was 6 WEEKS ago! Help me with a question.

  my judicial meeting was 6 weeks or more ago, and still no action.

  i used a lawyer and a letter to them after i had already met with them and admitted everything.

  the crazy part was they didn't tell me that night if i was df or not.

  If the general opinion is its been so long I'm free and clear of them, then I'll post it. I just want to wait if it could come up still...

  I did find a legal loophole I believe. But, its one that anyone with kids could use. I'll share it all very soon.

  Are they going to ignore me and let me live my life, or are they going to still DF me? Safe from DFing and my parents, siblings, and all other extended family shunning me.

  According to the bible they would be! They had come together to build an awesome tower. There was nothing they coudn't accomplish. So......... let's make them unable to talk so they start to fight and quit building the tower.
