Holy mountains in Canaanite myth and the Bible

by Leolaia in

baal's mountain: mount casius

baal's mountain was biblical zaphon, known in ugaritic as sapan, in hittite and hurrian as mount hazzi, in akkadian as ba'lisapuna, in greek and latin as casius (< kasios), and in modern arabic as jebel 'el-aqra', which stands at a height of 5,660 ft. about 25 miles north of ras shamra and 2.5 miles from the coast.

i will climb to the top of thunderclouds, i will rival elyon ('l'wn).

Had to bump this, she always had great information and really did her homework. I've been studying this stuff for a few years now and her insight has really helped because she didn't come at it with just one idea or thought like so many authors of today that write about things like this.

If you really want to know who the god of the Bible is and how he evolved over the centuries, search out her threads and comments on this forum. Also check out all the writings found in the city of Ugarit discovered in 1929.

Ok but what about the second part of the quote, sounds like it's all about the watchtower first then the Bible ?.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me" What bullshit

by fulltimestudent in

matthew 19:14: "let the little children come to me," .

is often used to prove that jesus cares about little children.

pretty images of jesus hugging kids proves nothing, if within the organisation he controls, he does nothing to protect the innocent.. so does jesus care?.

Crazyguy

If the children came he would sell them off as slaves.

i attended a sunday meeting today after missing a couple due to a bout of chronic apathy.

out of 74 publishers we had a grand total of 33. wonderful.

for those that attend, how are you finding the numbers?.

Crazyguy

Yes "A Believer" and all will live in paradise just like the Egyptians and the Greeks believed . What did the Greeks call it Elysium and the Egyptians called the Field of Reeds. Yep the original idea the Christians and especially JWs have is so, original.

My former congregation has a lot of members and most go. I think it has to do with social reasons more then anything else. Plus the demographics in that congregation are all about the same. Most everyone there is poor , stupid, and a little off mentally, so it's the perfect hall for the cult. It even attracts members from outside the territory in fact I'd say half are not assigned there.

In the other hand the other congregation that shares the hall is clickish and has more of a mix of people and only around 40 people show to a meeting .

i could not post video.

this was the best i could do.. paul.

I think that poster that says thier studying to try to gain and advantage has hit the nail on the head. They will study if they think they get something in return.

I grew up in an area where there was a lot of refugees from south eastern Asian. My mother studied for a long time with a woman and her family from this area. She was nice but didn't progress. They mentioned how other churches were sponsoring refugees to get them into the USA then helped them get on thier feet expecting these ones to stay in that church with thier family's forever. Since the jws don't help people monetarily they can only dream of getting these people to join.

"We Had No Idea How Manipulative He Can Be!"

by pale.emperor in

very stressfull and upsetting evening was had last night.

i dropped my 2yo daughter off to my ex-wifes home.

all seemed good until i got home.

Crazyguy

Yep when you leave the lies start flying around like you wouldn't believe. My wife did the same called me an apostate just for asking some questions about doctrine and then things just got worse. She implied to her friends that I was having sex at a massage parlor, that was the worse lie I know about. Sorry for your situation with your daughter. Call an attorney if you can for some help with visitation.

My presentation (new one here!)

i registered in the board and i wanted to present myself.. i used to visit this forum some time ago and even register an account but then i tried to convince myself all was ok in the congregation.

now, i'm coming back :).

i live in a southern european nation, i'm a young jw, a good example in the congregation serving as a regular pioneer and ms. for all in the congregation i'm the good guy, one of the best examples in the area i live.

Crazyguy

Just take it slow and make moves like a chess player thinking out every move. I went fast and have regretted it ever since. Your on the right track , do things that benefit you and not the cult.

I think that people in the cult with family can and should stay in but live to be happy and only give the cult lip service. If and when people push you or criticize you, you can always give examples in the Bible or of past jws to show your living a mature wise life style. Welcome again to this forum!
