My letter to Bethel about the flood

by Cornbread in

i've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.

it's been almost a decade since i've been out and i don't care at this point who knows.

that being said, here's a letter that i'm mailing to bethel.

Great letter, very logical and respectful.

I also sent a similar letter once. They answered, if there is a contradiction between science and the bible, they would believe the bible.

Why are there many flood myths globally?

At the end of the ice ages (around 10000 - 8000 years ago) the sea level rose dramatically. There were many local floods worldwide, as the ice melt and the sea level rose more than 100 metres.

Very interesting is the work of scientists Pitman and Ryan, who proved, that about 8000 years ago the Bosporus broke and the mediterranian flooded into the black sea. This might have been the root of the middle eastern flood stories.

Gorby says goodbye

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

my eyes for ttatt opened in 1995 with the generation change and the wt magazine stated "some witness thought that the generation started in 1914".

since 1997, with internet at low speed, i followed h2o hourglass, www.xjw.com and later on www.jehovahs-witness.net.. did a bachelor and post bachelor since then.. now, nearly completed with fading, i feel it's time to go on with my life and do some other things, spending more time with my wife abd children instead of thinking about jw topics in my head.

goal is being a better person and less grumpy at 45.... everything what could be said is already said.

Hey Gorby

It's great to spend more time with the family and think less on JW topics.

I loved your posts and threads from Holland. I myself am half dutch and half swiss, so I love the Netherlands too and am sometimes there too.

I wish you and your family all the best. Still would be great to read from time to time something from you.

What will be the Next Flip Flop?

by Quarterback in

now that the soc has accepted the use of technology.

what is next?

could it be the disfellowshipping?

The catholic church might excommunicate a person. But it doesn't mean, that no catholic is allowed to speak or have private contact with the excommunicated one. The person is just no catholic anymore.

New Anti Gay Cartoon Video not available in German

by Daniel1555 in

the lesson 22 video or better called anti gay video went viral.. there is another thread that main dutch media covered it in their articles.. i wanted to write to one of the biggest swiss newspapers about it.

that newspaper also covered the controversy about the "meeting" cartoon, where the message is made that if jw children don't listen at the meetings they might get killed finally.. then i realized that it is not available in german.. it is available in so many other languages, like guarani (never heard of that language), but german is missing.. are they afraid to offer it in german?

do they expect too much controversy in germany?.

Daniel1555

Wannaexit: In the Video you can choose the language. Many exotic languages are possible, German isn't. And it is not available in the german jw website.

I wonder if they don't offer german because of legal reasons.

They probably see already the mistake they made, translating it into dutch.

Why did Jehovah want to kill Moses?

by Doug Mason in

on the way, at a place where they spent the night, the lord met him and tried to kill him.

but zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched moses' feet with it, and said, "truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!

it was then she said, "a bridegroom of blood by circumcision.

There are a few bible verses that are too crazy to find normal explanations. They are even too crazy for Watchtower, so they ignore them. That's one of those.

In all the years growing up in JW land, this vers was never discussed.

Because it shows that biblical Jehovah is a psycho.

JWTV May Broadcast is up. hosted by an old burnt hot dog

by Dreamerdude in

what's up with jw parents taking their minor children to such desolate places?

like the english family that took their little kids to the jungles of ecuador, and the australians that took their little ones to norfolk island where hardly anyone lives, and they are the only children in a congregation of 11 publishers?

is this a new form of child abuse?

Daniel1555

Tony talks about Satans diabolical attacks to destroy families.

Who is destroying families?

Doesn't the last Watchtower Study article about shunning family members diabolically destroy families if it is applied?

Daniel1555

I don't get it.

Why do you talk about desolate places?

Norfolk Island is not a desolate place. It's a beautiful and interesting island and anything but child abuse to live there when there are about 2300 inhabitants.

The same with the rain forest in Equador.

Or is it better to live in a crime infested mega city? Is that child abuse too?
