I think less then 2% really know ttatt, maybe a few know a little ttatt but still can't put two and two together. Their a really isolated bunch. Think about how little we knew until something pushed us over the edge and we woke up.

Some good stuff, I'll have to read one of his books. He talks about the Persian religion in detail but I haven't been able to find much info on this religion and what it actually taught other then speculation. -

Advice needed
by Peony incan someone tell me the scriptural basis (according to jw's) for shunning disassociated ones.
only asking because i don't remember (probably wasn't that interested) i'm sure the shunning in the scriptures was just applied to disfellowshipped.
i've only been out 3 years but i seem to have forgotten any scriptures or reasoning!

Matt 5 Jesus says not to shun, and you may also want to point out that baptism is for forgiveness of sins there are no Scriptures that say its a pledge or contract for anything. -

Why is the Bible silent about the real Israel/Egyptian connections?
by fulltimestudent inthe bible does connect egypt and israel (including judah), but does not tell the truth about the connection.. an exhibition at the israel museum tells a clearer story.. it tells of two periods of connection;.
the first connection around 1800 to 1550 bce when canaanites settled in the eastern section of the nile river delta.
it seems this is the era that saw the development of stories like the joseph story and the mose's story.

It seems to me that most of the old testament was written during the Babylonian captivity and after, the book of Ezra almost concurs. There's also a lot of mistakes in the writings to be written during the actual time period. Some of the writings could have been just before like parts of Jeremiah and Isaiah we're it talks about the coming destruction of Damascus but other parts are clearly much later. Look at the example of the story of David and Goliath, Goliath is clearly wearing a Greek set of armour. But the Exodus story is intriguing and so is the story of Solomon, clearly a connection to Egypt. I think the Exodus story was about the hyksos and became a legend. Solomon was a Pharaoh and his temple was built at Tanis. -

The Egyptians started this practice and then the Jews. Some say it was a right of passage but I don't think the reason is clear. Maybe in the desert sand can be a bitch if it gets in the wrong spot. -

Is Revelation a false prophecy; was Luke 21:8 written to discredit it; or is this a massively overlooked bible contradition?
by Island Man inat luke 21:8 jesus is recorded as telling his disciples:.
"look out that you are not deceived; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, 'i am he', and, 'the due time has approached.
at revelation 1:1-3 we read:.

Just one of over 100 contradictions in the Bible. We have to remember the Bible is a jumbled mess and most of the books we're not written when they say they were. -

What's the point?
by punkofnice ini mean, i don't want to be miserable or anything, but what's the bloody point of it all?.
since i left the watchtower cult, i have come to realise that god cannot possibly exist...and if a god exists...god is indifferent to humankind as the least.. in 100 years time i'll be gone.
kaput.

To me the point is if I new this at say age 10 I could have gone on and lived a better life trying to live up to my dreams and potential. Now all in can do is pass this knowledge on to my kids so they can, instead of wasting their lives away as jws. -

Unfortunately this cults not going to die anytime soon, their is to many gullible people that just follow along not thinking or questioning anything they hear or are taught. As long as their are people out there like this cults will continue.
