GB / Wives ,wont voluntarily give up their lifestyle
by smiddy3 injust an observation viewing some of their on camera appearances , and their arrogance believing they are the only one`s used by god to reach and teach the people ,despite what gj said at the arc on the subject.. no doubt the gb men wear designer tailor made suits from the best tailors in nys ?
and their wives adequately provided for in a similar way ?
nothing from kmart or target ,walmart or whatever.. shoes are probably made from form fit cobblers to fit the individual ?

I bet my JW wife that these GBs fly in business class. She vehemently denies it.
Does anyone have evidence for this or any affirmation from any Ex-Bethelite Please ?

Exodus 21:20-21
20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their propertyTHe Bible can be banned for these above two verses.I have gone bald, scratching my head when I read the Whole Bible -

The Bible - God's Word or Man's
by truth_b_known inthat is the title of one of the watchtower's seemingly endless list of books that was pushed out for sale placement in the jehovah's witness' ministry.
the title does ask a great question.
those who would deny that the bible is divine in origin usually point to failed prophecy, events that do not mesh with historic evidence, scientific evidence, or even plagiarism from other religions.

Maybe God knew we would figure much of these things out by ourselves.
A parent doesnt allow the kids to figure things out by themselves. Its dangerous for the kids too. And god allowed nearly 5600 Years for mankind to figure out that diseases are caused by germs ? And that the earth spins around the sun ?
The Bible speaks a lot about core values we need to embrace if we want the human race to survive long into the future.
How about stoning a man to death because he picked up sticks on the Sabbath
How about owning slaves as well as beating them. These are all gods commands.
How about Jesus saying "Leave your family and come after me". "Hate your family and come after me"
How about Pauls advise that "Women should not speak in the congreagation"
There are more core valuses in Buddhism that are more humane than those in the Bible. I am not a Buddhist. Just saying.

I got sucked into this cult, while in India and was in this religion for 11 years until I came to know about TTAT and freed myself.
Yes Indian elders consider themselves as Angels and look down upon the common Rank and File JW. Too much of self righteousness and control. I have experienced this

If Bible was really the word of God, at least the following should be contained in the Bible:
Germ theory - Reason behind how germs, bacteria and pathogens attack or benefit other living things.
Astronomy - Should have mentioned the simple science of this solar system, planets, stars and galaxies.
Physiology of human body- How the human body (At least humans) works and is made up of.
THe Bible mentions the following, which are of no use to mankind at all
Diseases are caused by sins, slaughters, Genocides, blood shed, incest, talking snakes and donkeys, Solomons 600 wives and 300 concubines, Genealogy of Jesus(Contradiction here again) and other nomads, women inferior to men, a hypothetical ransom sacrifice…..

IMHO the bible cannot be the word of God. Neither does any other religious Books that claim so.
Why does god want to commuicate to humans when Electricity wasnt invented. WHy cant god make an appearance today to the whole world and relay it live on TV.
Also, Paul was an Over zealous religious freak who wrote down things based on assumptions and rumours.

What do you think about Nehemia Gordon theory regarding "Yehovah" as God's name pronunciation that never got completely lost?
by psyco innehemia gordon, in his book "shattering the conspiracy of silence", argues that "yehovah" is god's name pronunciation and it has never got completely lost, giving a linguistic explanation.
what do you think about that?.

So most of us here were once worshipping a god who didnt reveal the correct pronounciation of his name nor prevent his name from being erased in his Holy book

Jehovah GOD a failed GOD in many respects.
by smiddy3 inisn`t there enough evidence to acknowledge the god of the bible has been a failure ?according to wt / jw teachings ?.
a god that has supposed to have created the visible universe and everything in it ?.
some points where i would challenge that from an earthlings point of view using the bible if only in paraphrase.. doesn`t god create everything perfect ?
-

EverApostate
Jehovah is perfect. And he cannot sin.
How can an Epitome of perfection create humans who can sin and loose perfection ?
Why didnt he create humans incapable of sinning ? Many excuse that with Free will. Doesnt Jah have free will and cant sin at the same time. How about that.
Nowhere in the Bible is slavery condemned
Not only that, it allows the slave owners to beat their slaves. The Bible can be banned for this one reason
Exodus 21
20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
