  Simple, yet very effective way, for ALL to spread the TTATT to current JW family and friends, possible GAME CHANGER.

  i am sure this has probably been thought about, and maybe others have mentioned it already.

  in fact, i cant even take credit for this brilliant idea.

  it is a "tactic" that my father uses, to great effect, and he is a current jw.. as we all know, there is a wealth of info on the internet, and many other sources, that clearly exposes the many lies of the wts.

  I think this great for planting seeds and maybe years later the seeds will take root, this is all we can do.

  Matthew 24 - "This Generation": If you are a Jehovahs Witness that dares to study the Bible itself...

  rather than just rely on the watchtower's latest opinions... are you ready?.

  1) please read this article:.

  2) if you are offended by the article's title, read this page for an explanation of what the phrase means, then go back and read it:.

  Good stuff here, but here is a question for whom ever wants to give it a go. These scriptures seem to be talking about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 ce yet here is a major problem, most of the scriptures were written after 70ce. 1john says they are in the last hour of the last days and in the book of Revelations written very late, says Jesus is coming very soon several times. So were these writers writing about something that had already happened and back dating the story as one author states the gospel writers were doing or were they talking about a different date?

  This is to be expected. Most people that are raised in the religion will get baptized because its the social thing to do. Once their baptized as children then move on to young adulthood and the real word hits them, that's when I think people start to fall away. Am I wrong?

  The Exodus confirmed..

  for those of you that don't research this stuff i will give a little back story.

  we all know about the moses exodus, but history and archeology didn't seem to confirm this event.

  the only exodus out of egypt ever recorded was that of a group of asiatic tribes that had taken over egypt for a bit over 100 years called the hyksos and the followers of the pharaoh akhenaten who perpetuated a monotheistic idea of worshiping only one deity the aten.

  I have read several things on this subject and the point of thread is that the evidence seems to point to this hyksos Exodus as the one that started the story even if yes many things in the story are not true. Several historians way back then agree that this is the event the Bible later talked about. I think this makes better sense then to think the whole story was just made up.

  I agree Memphis the Bible mentions all sorts of stuff that was not accurate. The name PiRamesses was not correct but a later name. The Bible says they built the cities with burnt bricks, not correct. It looks as though the Savior of the Israelites Moses was taken from the name of the Pharaoh Ahmoses. This list goes on and on. Even this idea of only worshipping one God may have come from the other recorded Exodus, when the followers of Akkentaten we're expelled. Its like a bunch of stories all thrown together to make this Bible story.

  Not sure aboutbthe translation issues, but as far as Jewish beliefs and monothiesm Akenatens ideas actually started with his father and was before any evidence of the Israelites, there's no evidence of them existing before 1200 bce. The Jewish beliefs again only seem to be down in writing at about the 6th century bce around the time of their captivity in Babylon.

  Saintbertholdt, Its also important to bring out that the Merneptah Stele was writing about this Pharaoh going in to the Levant and defeating several groups, the sea peoples being one of them. The Israelites were mentioned almost as an after thought. This indicates to me that the defeat of the Israelites written about here was a battle that took place again in the Levant and not in Egypt proper. So this stele could not be talking about the exodus story not to mention there a whole host of problems with this Pharaoh being the one of the exodus story In the bible.

  Saintbertholdt The Hyksos may have not been the actual Israelites but they got the story from a retelling of this event. The Hyksos may of in fact been related to the Canaanites which archeology has shown were in fact one and the same as the Israelites. The Israelites may have just developed in to a subset of the Canaanites. The Merneptah Stele doesn't seem to show the Israelites as a nation but just a people. And it must be said that in the few expeditions by pharaohs in to the land of the Levant, not one has ever mention defeating or doing battle with a city named Jerusalem. it just was not an important notable city at the time.

  Witness 007 The Hyksos were probably part of the invading Amorites that also invaded Babylon etc. These people came from the North near Turkey or so the experts think. They were probably related to the Phoenicians or Canaanites as their also called. I read somewhere that the Hyksos may have worshipped Baal as well as Set and if so that works well with the bible, because early writing show that the Canaanites worshiped El then switched or morphed worship of Baal Hadad as their main deity. Many cultures worshiped one deity then switched to another in their pantheons of deities and almost always combined attributes of the former deity into the newer.
