this always baffled me.
either pork is unclean and wrong to eat forever, or it was a load of bull to begin with..
Also Fat, the scriptures about fat say never eat it ever. Ok so they say we're no longer under the law but the Old Testament didn't say until a later date it said never. And what about raping unbetrothered girls? This was never against the law and slavery, why can't we have slaves, Jesus seemed to be ok with slaves.
If im not mistaken according to the Bible I can eat fatty pork while raping my young slave girl, isn't the Bible great!
jesus rated john the baptist as the greatest “among those born of women” (luke 7:28) hence after his death he should naturally go to heaven—especially so lesser ones like enoch, abraham are already in the kingdom of heaven.
(hebrews 11: 5, 6; 13-16).
in view of the direct statement of jesus: “i say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with abraham, isaac, and jacob in the kingdom of heaven” (mathew 8:11), people like abraham are definitely in heaven.
I agree with you that Jesus is a myth. I believe that most of the characteristics of Jesus were taken from the God Serapis, a high bread god which included Osiris, Apis bull, and several Greek gods.
Horus did fight his father enemy Seth and win he also in some stories takes on the power of Ra after his mom Isis tricks Ra.
There is a temple in Egypt where they used to celebrate the resurrection of Osiris after three days.
One of the problems with Gerald Massey is some of the things he wrote can't be confirmed also he was a Druid and an evolutionist so people believe he was trying to turn people away from Christianity.
Again because I was able to prove some of the things he wrote and were in the documentary Zietgiest wrong, I stayed in the cult of JW for a few more years and haven't been able to get my wife out. Yet at the time Zietgiest came out and we watched it, if it had been more accurate I could of gotten her out too since she was more open minded at the time.

Half banana, woo woo woo, you need to slow down there big guy. Your giving us those that have studied ancient religion a bad name. The story of Horus you site really has no merit. Yes he was born of an miracle birth but many of the other things you state haven't been proven true. Osiris is much closer to the character Jesus in likeness then Horus. Hezzekia is not the oldest known Judean king, I believe there proof of his father and possible more I'll have to go check again. You are correct that that there is no evidence of David or Solomon etc.
we just have to be careful what we say and post if just one thing is out of place they'll dismiss your whole statement even if most of it is true.
i feel like everything that comes out of my mothers mouth is something negative and cringe worthy.
all she seems to talk about with me is how terrible and demonic our disfellowshipped relatives are, how horrible the world and holidays are, or how she is so much better and "holier than thou".
it really makes me sick sometimes.
Just start talking about Jesus all the time and how he taught that we shouldn't judge shouldn't exalt ourselves, and we should have love and compassion for everyone love everyone even our enemies. Make sure you use the name Jesus a lot . This will shut her up most jws have an aversion to Jesus without even knowing it.
today, i want to share some scriptures i have come across in my research which show the link between yahweh and the canaanite god el.
el and other variations such as elyon, el shaddai and elohim appear many times in the bible.
these are usually translated as god, most high, god almighty and so on.
The biggest Defence Christians and Jews used against this El is saying that the word is just a title meaning god or deity. Then in 1929 they found the city of Ugarit. In that city they found writings about the top god of he pantheon of the Canaanites and his name was El. This changed everything, also many of the descriptions concerning this god are the same as Yahweh.

Have you look at all the scriptures that link Baal to Yahweh as well. He Yahweh totally morphed from el to Baal took on atributes of Marduk and Ra. He truly is the god of many names.
it's come out in my old congregation that, not one, but two child molesters have been hiding in my old congregation.
i knew both of them and one of them, an old man, was regularly at my house for field service meetings on a weekly basis.. in my old congregation there's an apostate who was awake long before i was.
unfortunately he cant leave because his wife and children and parents are still full on believers.
Isn't it amazing that the elders will deal with these scumbags disfellowshiped them but still not report them to the police.

fry watchtower fry!!!

Let just hope that with the findings of the ARC more and more lawsuits come pilling in.
right now, there are a lot of talks on this topic in quebec and, at the mid week meeting, they are reading the letter sent in 2002 where it states that the elders will call the authorities if the law forces them to.
the strange thing is, it looks like even when there are laws to that effect, jws seem to believe that it does not apply to them.
for instance, i know that they do not report anything in quebec, even if it is the law!
The 2002 letter still talks about establishing two witnesses so with out the second witness the elder won't do much in the hall.
I had an experience where they elders were told by a sister that my daughter had told her she was abused sexually. They came over two of them took us out in to the car for privacy and told us. One elder even mentioned calling the police. Fortunately my daughter wasn't abused the sister was mistaken. But here is the thing, in the state I live in it's mandatory to report so the elders were compelled to tells us to report it to the police.
i was invited to a congregation in ontario, canada today and as soon as the meeting opened the brother conducting the meeting said there was a very important statement coming from the borg.
this talk replaced the two last parts of "living as a christian" section.
he started reading a letter from the borg about how much they loved us.
How much did they go in to the media lies, how long was that part of the talk and any more details on that part of the talk?
