  exodus 7:1

  hi all, ive decided to come back to the forum.

  am needing to let of some steam in regards to things in general as finding myself frustrated once again with wt rules policies etc which i will discuss in future threads.

  i just wanted to ask your thoughts about ex 7:1 as it says that the lord made moses god to pharaoh.

  Interesting... Since Pharoah was considered a God by his people perhaps Moses needed to be a God/like God in order to reach Pharoah With his message?

  Moses was also in the transfiguration. I wonder if that's linked with his being a god as well?

  Anyone have any 'Too close for comfort' moments with an elder ? (ladies)

  by billie jean in

  has anyone ever felt that an elder was perhaps 'coming on' to them ?

  i remember three specific occasions where i was alone with these three elders in my congregation on seperate occasions and it just didnt feel right.

  one where i was told i was "very attractive" and various other things he'd said made me nervous about my appearance, another where an elder took me to his car after a meeting in a dark car park and seemed to ask too many private questions and another time one of the elders who i thought always had his arms around young sisters too much took me to the 'back room' and sat far too close to me again references about my "attractive face" and other strange compliments.

  I copped a feel by a couple of elders. One used to always touch my butt when I was a teen. And recently another elder, who he and his wife used to always help me put the kingdom first as a teen felt me up on two occasions- now I'm in my thirties!!! I told my parents. They thought it was funny.

  What was the "logical straw" that broke your camel's back?

  by Pacopoolio in

  i had a bunch of tiny little nags that always bothered me about the bible/god/etc.

  that eventually led to me drifting away, but this was my personal, singular issue that no one could address.

  i think i mentioned it before here, but, for summation again:.

  For me it was when I was trying to show my baptist friend that the bible says we will live forever on a paradise earth. There was no scripture stating that. And trying to prove the star of Bethlehem was from Satan. No scripture saying that either. I then wondered what else had I been taught wrong!

  When God made you, He was showing off.

  if it weren't for the sun, you'd be the hottest thing ever created.

  everytime I see you, the light just gets brighter and brighter.

  I may not be the best looking man here, but who are you to be picky?

  Is that a bible in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

  More WT Propaganda: Low Paying Jobs are OK for Family Heads. Just "Don't Miss the Meetings!"

  god, evidently, wants you to be poor: .

  a newly baptized brother is married, and he and his wife have three small children.

  one day, a workmate suggested that he and the brother move to another company that paid a higher wage and provided more benefits.

  Very Big (and Shocking) Contradiction in the Gospels

  by DeWandelaar in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was visiting a website in order to prove to people that the bible can be seen as a very extremist book.. however... the site also showed some contradictions and although i am aware of most of them i came to one contradiction that was actually very shocking: the part that satan tries to temp jesus christ.

  most of the gospels mention this and the timeframe shows that it happened directly after the baptism of jesus.

  however... look at what happens in john!.

  Which part do you mean? All the gospels I checked says Jesus went into the wilderness and fasted for 40days After he was baptised?
