  Is the Bible God's word? Help please.....

  by Freeandclear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so real quick, i know this comes up now and then and i've looked over some of the posts from the past but here's the thing.. when i was a jw i drank all the cool aid, i was 100% and so i have all my own arguments (from the jw's) for why the bible is inspired.

  i no longer believe this but i'd really like to read something that is pretty much 100% academic on this subject.

  i want to read what scholars have to say about the authenticity of the bible and it's claim at being the inspired word of god.

  2nd John 12,13

  12 I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.

  13 The children of your sister, who is chosen by God, send their greetings.

  When you read these verses, do they sound like the words of the Creator of the universe, or do they sound like some religious dude writing just another letter. Obviously the writer of these passages wasn't worried about transmitting God given messages in his head to other humans.

  God does not desire any to be destroyed?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. bible

  so if the idea is promoted that god doesn't want anyone to be destroyed, why does he make it so confusing for people to learn about him?.

  why are there thousands of differing religions?.

  why has "his only true organisation" even taught so many varying doctrines?.

  That's right Perry, humans die, animals die and stars die. I guess stars and animals are separated from God because of Eve. Makes perfect sense right?

  Oops, Satan doesn't die. I guess he isn't separated from God like the rest of us. And sorry Perry, his being killed by Yahweh eventually doesn't mean he dies like we do. And you know it.

  Satan can be the cause of death and get millenniums of years to live; I inherit death from Eve and I get 70 years. Makes perfect sense doesn't it?

  But I'm guessing the Christian mental masturbation will continue.

  "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."

  
  

  It's too bad that people hang their world view on nonsensical gibberish such as this. Any interpretation of this into any sensible syntax is pure speculation.

  I thought the same thing. What's the point of hiding in the first place if you get slaughtered anyhow.

  The sudden demise of JWR will be discussed on JW Escape in episode six. It will be out mid-July.

  If all that data is actually GONE FOR GOOD, I have no questions for any former mods.

  If An Organization Really Believed It Had the Truth...

  ....it would not be scared of critics.

  actually they would naturally take an offensive stance, wouldn't they?

  they would welcome debate... even encourage it.

  Printing presses, bye... bye...

  by sp74bb in

  bye... bye.... no more new printing presses for jw.org... the growth is so tremendous (irony...).. all printing work in europe will be arrange in the next month only in selters (germany), but no renovation or upgrading in printing presses is expected... it will be a full outsourcing :).

  a worldly company axel s******* will be used.

  this company is known to be printing bild newspaper... the interesting part of it is the logistics will be as well outsourced.

  Outsourcing printing is probably cheaper than in-house printing now.

  It's always been hard for the Treasury's bean counters to put an exact cost on publication production at Bethels around the world because so many expenses cannot help but be co-mingled with factory/printery costs.

  My opinion: The lower the ratio of Bethelite to publisher the better. Bethel creates JW zealots better than any else.

  Using the depression card: Only when critical to family?

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i just was reading a thread and it occurred to me that "using" depression as a way to deflect from wt obligations is a mistake.

  it feeds their sense of superiority-because when you do finally leave or get kicked out, they will say how leaving jehovah ruins lives.

  they won't do anything with you anymore in any case, but why feed their delusions?.

  Depends what your goal is. If you wish to be dfd for apostasy, go ahead and show the elders/nazis how happy you are about leaving.

  If your goal is to try to help others leave as you are leaving play ANY card you want. The cult is a cause of depression itself, not a manager of it. In my true believing elder years (I had 14 of them), I couldn't have cared less about WHY you weren't active, just the fact that you were and were already property of Satan.
