Unless you want to blast them with some scriptures showing where they are wrong not only with you but your friend getting dfd for kissing a girl then what’s the point of going? I would just not go.

I am getting disfellowshipped
by CitizenofEarth inmaybe some of you remember me, maybe not.
for general information i am now 19 years old, and living by myself.
for the past 1 year (more like 1.5 years) i have been quietly fading out of the hypocrisy of this organization, but since i still live in the town i grew up in it has been hard, and filled with different challenges.

Brotherly love in action..
by Jrjw ini'm so upset and angry at the same time.
i move in less than 2 weeks and was supposed to be getting help off "brothers" to move and one of them was driving the van and now the elders have had a meeting and told the brothers they can't help coz i'm separated from my (abusive) jw husband and with moving it puts the chances of reconciliation (of which there was zero chance) even further away.
where are these stupid rules that they come up with.

I remember reading how they were thinking of using a scripture in Revelations I believe and tie this with Sputnik the first satellite. Then they could move jesus kingdom rule from 1914 to the year Sputnik went up. Any crazy thing they think of the JWs will buy it.

They have nowhere else to go!
by Crazyguy ini think the overwhelming problem with trying to wake up friends and family is they have nowhere else to go.
i mean these people all their friends are jws a lot of them their family is jws.
if they wake up or agree with you in anyway they know instantly that they loose all this, many will even loose jobs.

I think there is a lot of mentally out JWs that go to meeting and service but are really just going through the motions knowing they have no other options.
Proof of this maybe one of the last meetings I went to. I was returning to my seat during a watchtower study and got a good look at how many people didn’t have their watchtowers marked it was almost every one of them. could be only about 10% are truly believers and the rest are in some way not awake but just indifferent knowing they have no other options?

Friday crucifixion?
by rstrats init is my understanding that jws believe that the crucifixion occurred on friday.
however, luke 24:21 would seem to indicate that it couldn't have occurred any later than thursday.
how do you explain the seeming discrepancy?

I thought the book of john clearly states that he died on a different day then what the other gospels stated?

The “Most High” allocated Yahweh to Jacob
by Doug Mason indeuteronomy 32:8-9 describes the most high (god) apportioning the nations to the gods according to “the number of the sons of israel/gods”.
one can argue over the niceties of the meaning of that expression.
of interest is that the “most high” allocated jacob to yahweh (“jehovah”).

I think the name Israel , oldest mentioning was a chariot warrior named in some writings in Ugarit. I also believe that they found this name very common in the writtings from the city of Mari and these writting dated to before the Bible. Anyway it’s unsure what the true meaning of the name is , I’ve heard lots of different things.

Here’s is another big question what is this Israel that is spoken about ? It seems to me that the Bible Old Testament was written most of it around the time the Jews were in Babylon. So why mention an Israel this Israel in my opinion never existed as a nation . There was the Omnrides that ruled north of Judah but only two texts ever found The Merneptah Stella and a writing in Assyria that say something different then Omri. These two are said to say Israel but when you look you’ll see that that’s very suspect.
With so many of the writings in the Bible being taken from older pagan texts , the Old Testament to me has no more reality to it then the writtings about the knights of the round table.

I should also mention the idea of newer gods absorbing the older gods or at least their attributes was very common back then. Osiris became the supreme god of Egypt taking the attributes of RA , Thoth and Anubis. Marduk took over and became the most supreme god of Babylon and Enlil took over for his father Anu.

The NRsv is definitely the most accurate translation in my opinion. They god their translation from a script that was found that stated this. The others don’t make any sense but we’re changed because the religion was moving to monotheism. How can god give the lands to the sons of Israel when they couldn’t even hold on to their little patch?
Its also interesting that several of the characters in the Bible seem to take on some of the elements of god or one of the gods they worshipped. For example Gideon had 70 sons. El the supreme god of the Canaanites also had 70 sons. In my opinion El was recognized as the supreme god by the Bible writers and Yahweh was either a newer god that took on the attributes of El or the same diety with just a different name. Yahweh also took on the attributes of Baal Hadad and also Anat and others in my opinion.
