I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill, but the fact remains that, when presented with a fact that didn't fit your narrative, you went straight to making up something extra-biblical to justify it.

Richard, it's clear (assuming you aren't playing dumb) that you don't know much about the JWs. You've shown a willingness to make things up, to dismiss reality and either minimize or maximize things to suit your agenda.
Having never been a JW and not knowing much about them, what is your agenda in defending them?

I am still wondering what Richard's agenda is for defending the WT, making things up and suggesting that the fishermen of antiquity were in a lucrative business (they weren't).
What is your agenda for these underhanded methods?

@cofty you cant summarize the life of Jesus in 2 sentences. A bit harsh. Im sure when Jesus filled there nets with fish the families had enough money while they where away preaching
Actually, Cofty did it in one sentence. Also, the bible never says that Jesus made sure they had enough money from fishing. It's become clear that you have an agenda to defend something or someone from being labelled a cult. What is that agenda? -

The point when applied to an organised religion is ppl misinterpret what they are taught and put themselves under inmence pressure which could lead one to become depressed etc. which I agree is dangerous. hence the misinterpretation of the religion upon leaving the religion the weight of oppression they have put on themslves is gradually removed and they become more balanced in there life on later reflection they then start to resent there time in the religion and believe they where mentally conditioned which caused them harm thus they believe it to be a cult.
So your point is victim blaming? Yeah, go sell that crazy somewhere else.

No one here could say jesus was a charismatic cult leader if they studied his life. That is the contradiction
Uh, that's exactly what Jesus was.

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?
by LaurenM indo any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.
