2 SURVEY QUESTIONS

by Terry in

please answer this question thoughtfully.. question #1:.

if there were no holy book in existence--what would you or anybody else know about god and how would you know it?.

question #2:.

2 tim 3 v 16

That's what did it for me. Either that is true, or ANY scripture could be false.

Then I discovered a contradiction in the bible and down the rabbithole I fell.

(After deciding I didn't believe the bible was the word of god, I noticed I had no actual basis for a believing IN a god [who may or may not go around dictating books to folks])

"The reason behind why the ex-JW community can never match Jehovah's Witnesses' success"

SFPW - you will NOT enter paradise. (Num 20 v 12)

Taking credit for jehovah's work, bad SFPW, BAD!

Should have really remembered how touchy your god is before spouting off like that... Don't worry, you'll like gehenna, we'll make you nice and welcome!

What is your favorite poem? Here is mine

by HappyGuy in

thou hast made me endless,.

such is thy pleasure.. this frail vessel thou emptiest again and again,.

and fillest it ever with fresh life.. this little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales,.

Oh who is that young sinner with the handcuffs on his wrists?
And what has he been after, that they groan and shake their fists?
And wherefore is he wearing such a conscience-stricken air?
Oh they're taking him to prison for the colour of his hair.

'Tis a shame to human nature, such a head of hair as his;
In the good old time 'twas hanging for the colour that it is;
Though hanging isn't bad enough and flaying would be fair
For the nameless and abominable colour of his hair.

Oh a deal of pains he's taken and a pretty price he's paid
To hide his poll or dye it of a mentionable shade;
But they've pulled the beggar's hat off for the world to see and stare,
And they're taking him to justice for the colour of his hair.

Now 'tis oakum for his fingers and the treadmill for his feet,
And the quarry-gang on portland in the cold and in the heat,
And between his spells of labour in the time he has to spare
He can curse the god that made him for the colour of his hair.

You did a funny.

For some reason "happy happy happy happy - boing boing boing boing" killed me... Glad elders can't get into your house like that though.

matthew 5:37 " just let your word yes mean yes, your no, no, for what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.

" rnwt.

question: .

Nope.

Some masorete threw a Y a W and two Hs in a scrabble bag with some vowels... hey presto!

At least that's what it says in my history books.

(But I call god Bob, he doesn't seem to mind at all)

after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.

thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.

i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.

LucidChimp

I have no idea what your situation is or why you would consider returning - I am aware this lack of information makes my wishes or opinions on the matter invalid... but shit. I don't even know what to say.

I enjoyed your posts on here a great deal - I would be most pleased if they resumed at some point.

I wish you nowt but the best bro.
