How does mankind know what happen before we were created??

by James Mixon in

for example, "and god said, let there be light: and there was light.

"a personal and vocal god said, "let there be light.

"so god saw the light, and thought it good, but how did the priestly scribe know that he did?

James Mixon

JW.Rogue: Jesus tells doubting Thomas, can you believe Satan came to me while I was in the wilderness and ask me to tell the stones to become bread. Thomas was called only Thomas before, he became doubting Thomas after that conversation.

One theory, Moses did not write Genesis (waton mention this). It was put together by "Pious" men during the time of Israel's kingdom and as late as the post-exile (post Babylonian captivity). In order to gain credence Moses name was attached to it.

MrRoboto: I think I understand your point.

"priests wrote to get the 10% phoney fee", LOL.

Yes they made it up ,the priests are not revealers of truth but only keepers of traditions, and that the purpose of both the scribes and their translators was not to reveal the truth but to lay the basis of a theistic religion, based on the supernatural and terrifying.

For example, "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."A personal and vocal God said, "Let there be light."So God saw the light, and thought it good, but how did the priestly scribe know that He did? Did God tell him some trillions of years after the act? What bible character was told the creation story???

Do Witnesses Experience Racial Discrimination To Your Knowledge?

my experience in the kingdom hall was that racial discrimination and profiling was not typically practiced....that i know of.

i was in a diverse city with every type of skin color and nationality imaginable.. i’m wondering if the witnesses have changed due to the current affairs exposed by the media everyday.

are there discrimination issues in jw land??

James Mixon

I don't recall any racial discrimination and I was in a congregation where the body of elders where 95% black and the congregation and our circuit was 85% white. That's why I was so surprised when speaking with an elderly black sister when she told me in the old days she and other blacks set in back or in the balcony in the meetings. I later found out that the JW organization was one of the last religious organization to integrate(what happen to Acts 5:29 we must obey God rather than man) and blacks may have to change his skin color in order to go to heaven.LOL

James Mixon
