Hi Jan, the bible does include inconsistent stories. You could start with Genesis 1 and 2 which present somewhat different creation stories.
Biblical inerrancy makes it impossible to just read the bible.

48A few questions for believers
by keyser soze inwhen confronted with all of the inconsistencies and atrocities of the bible, many believers invariably claim that they don't base their faith in christ on what's written in the bible.
so what is the basis then, if not scripture?.
and please don't tell me "the lord has revealed himself to me".

If the bible isn't the inerrant word of God, than Jesus was just a regular guy with an entourage, if he existed at all.
Hi Keyser, I don't follow this point, isn't this a bit of a stretch? If there are errors in Josephus writings' does it follow that everything in it is therefore made up?

Jon Morley is a decent bloke, from my experience. He is very much an Organisation man but I still like him, all things considered. I would not want him to lose this case, but hope the Society has to pay out.

I was a member of the Wimbledon congregation for about 8 months and left in June 2013. I never once met or saw this guy and have never heard of him. It says he was a member for 20 years, perhaps, but if he was he was far from regular, or I would know him. I was very surprised when I read this article on my tube ride home in the paper, as I assumed I knew everyone in Wimbledon. Jookbeard, as stated above, was in Wimbledon before me so will be interesting to see if he knows him.
Jonathan Morley, mentioned in the article is the PO or whatever they call that now.
As St. George said, the infamous Michael Porter is in that same Congregation, I knew him well.

I don't find it too surprising that JWs are so high on the denominational visits list, as most religious denominations don't print regular religious material that their members are required to read and study.

My first insight into real evolution discourse was through Behe. A JW friend lent me his book, I loved it and wanted to see what the evolutionists had to say it about because I assumed they'd be silent on it, so I read some criticisms on the net which started to rock my world. I then abandoned any study of evolution for the next 6 years. Doh!

So I suppose the bible never really taught those things that now need to be revised? Wonderful.
