jws and other christians would often point to the handful of the bible verses that seem to be scientifically accurate as evidence of its divine inspiration.
but not surprisingly, they ignore the ones that are scientifically inaccurate, or when they address those verses they put a spin on it like saying the account is not a reflection of what the bible is teaching but what men at the time erroneously believed and which god allowed them to record in the bible.
would you believe a jw actually told me that!
The Sun stood still for Joshua's bloody Genocide, as the Bible says. Perfect ignorance of the writer revealed here, supposed to be inspired by GOD.
Sun Stood still means it was understood to be moving, prior. Like, if we say that the train stood still, means it was moving prior.
But the JW would spin as "The sun appeared to stand still from the viewer's aspect and it was by other means that Jah made this marvel work". I heard this comment form a sis in one of the meetings long back.
one of the most frustrating things.
when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.
such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".
In a JW world - Lies, Cover up, Gloss over = "Theocratic Warfare"
there are aspects to the resurrection story that seem unnecessary but make perfect sense if you consider them as patches to shore up the lie of jesus' resurrection.. (1) why did there have to be angels present at jesus' resurrection?
there is no other resurrection account in the bible that mentions the involvement of angels.. possible explanation: jesus' disciples really did steal jesus' body from the tomb.
two or three of them ambushed and knocked/drugged unconscious the guards on the scene before stealing the body.
was reading up on the world mission society church of god, or wmscog for short, a south korean church founded in the early 60s by ahn sahn-hong.
the church has a million+ members in over 100 countries.
they believe in god the father (jehovah) and a god the mother, whom they claim to be a living south korean woman named jan gil-ja.
so their the very essence of love so we are taught so then why at luke 14:26 jesus says in order to be his follower you must hate your mother, father, wife, brothers and sisters.
then you must renounce everything you have.
wow just plain wow, and they call me crazy!
Good Points @Island Man
God of Love tells us to:
Stone a rebellious son to death
Stone a daughter to death who cannot prove her virginity
Stone a person to death, if he picks up sticks on the Sabbath
Rip open pregnant women.
Hate our families, ditch them and go after him.
Kill those who stumble his worshipers. (I'm in this list for sure)
Oh, got to do some chores, will continue later.

In my opinion, they are far better than Watchtower because they serve the Community, outside their religion. (If the accounts in this Video are true!!)

The time remaining is short, as per WT and hence I use it effectively to to wake up the "Unthinkables" inside WT.
"the sons of the true god began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful.
so they began taking as wives all whom they chose.".
it may be feasible to some to accept the bible's assertion that the first humans were tempted to pursue independence from god, especially since they were created in his image and he is independent from any authority.
Thanks @Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho. I may end up publishing a book called "My Book of Bizarre Bible stories". And hence call myself a Publisher to escape the impending Armageddon,
When I was a JW, I used to amuse myself how the dubs used to react to such announcement about important announcements. They would get overly excited as if Armageddon date is going to be announced and then implode like a deflated balloon, when it ends up as a local announcement

Jehovah instantly wipes out the ancient tribes for rebelling or not worshiping him or for other silly reasons. But still he hasn't destroyed the rebelled mighty angels who are far more powerful than humans.
