Something creepy during a study

    So, the local JW troops have stepped up my study because I have had a difficult time swallowing the "truth", and have sent a MS to speed things along. He mentioned Satan tempting Eve, and I said I had never read that. Sure, so there is a serpent tempting Eve in Genesis 3, but no Satan. His partner shows in Revelation that Satan is called a serpent. I allow the serpent could be Satan, but we are not told that so it is human opinion. Then he says Satan is a demon! I ask which scripture says that. Instead of an answer I get a tirade about me splitting hairs. Still, no scripture to support that opinion. Now the creepy part. Our intrepid MS smiles and tells me, "I used to be like you!"

    Like hell he was!

    He doesn't know me. It is unlikely he was ever much like me, because if he was he would have asked a few questions before swallowing the blue pill. At the rate he is going he will likely never be like me.

    I am wondering if such a condescending attitude is what I can expect as normal from this study, or if he is a rotten apple and an exception.

    Isn't it frustrating?! I try talking to my dad about the female nephilim and where were they while their brothers were out bullying people, and he said there weren't any. The angels that came down only took male bodies for themselves. "Quit trying to read into it more than is there." UGH! I can't stand it!

    The nephilim were the children of those male body wearing angels. 50% boys and 50% girls had to have been born to them. It's so frustrating trying to reason with someone who doesn't understand or just thinks he knows what he's talking about.

    Kurt, it is a method they are taught,to make you relax and let the mind control begin,they want you to think "Oh so HE must have asked all these logical questions,and found answers,so maybe I can stop questioning,and just accept all the BULL***T"

    Keep splitting those hairs my friend,you may help the smarmy MS see what a TWAT he is.

    Kurtbethel,

    How many years have you been a 'study' now?

    I am amazed that they have not given up on you by now.

    And by the way, you are splitting hairs.

    Aren't there some much deeper points you could make that would really stump them?

    I didn't know those things, kurt!

    Wow. I am now wondering what other basic assumptions weren't true.

    I mean, I could tell the math problems were whack, but that's it. I forget most of the Biblical interpretation stuff but I mean, just basic assumptions being way off....wow...

    The snake is never identified as Satan

    Satan is never identified as a demon

    Michael is never identified as Jesus

    Wow.....

    Just wait till they do the study on "The Sheep and the Goats"

    From 1921 until 1991 they taught that they were taking part in a separating work. Those who rejected the Truth and later died during the Judgement period from 1919 until Armageddy would be judged as Goats and unworthy of a resurrection.

    I remember one Elder who talked to our lovely next door neighbor : "If ever I met a goat She is one of them!!"

    Then "ALL CHANGE" Those who die rejecting the truth between 1919 and Armageddy WILL be resurrected, because Christ will sit down on his Glorious Throne at the GT to judge who are the sheep and goats.

    What happens to those who died before then who were judged unworthy of a resurrection??

    'Member the WT when the RC dropped the ban on Fish on Friday? "What will happen to those sent to Hell for eating fish on Friday?"

    So the Son of man "Arrives" then. Not in 1919. EXCUSE ME? I thought The Master on arriving appointed the Faithful and discreet slave in 1919??

    No doubt they will try to convince you that jesus "comes" in different ways.

    seven in all - more than a porn star.

    BUT BUT BUT

    They said Christ would return in 1873. He didn't so they readjusted it. Christ returned INVISIBLY in 1874, Armageddon and the "Great Tribulation" would be over by 1914 when the Messianic Kingdumb wou d have full control of the world.

    It didn't happen.

    The string alongs after that are widely available.

    BUT they claimed the annointed partakers shrinking was proof we are at the end.

    ("Many of those alive in 1914 will stilll be alive at Armageddy" THEY said)

    As the numbers ROSE they found NOOLITE from 1927 it all means there will always be annointed on Earth until Armageddy ( yeah 290 0000000000 patakers of 144 000 to go )

    Annointed numbers are rising in real terms exponentially since 1935. According to ther argument there was practically nobody but the Apostles worthy of heavenly life before 1919.

    CRAZY

    It's the simple things that make you say DUHHHHHH...

    Where did cain get his wife? Oh he married his sister... Um where does the bible say that? Also what does Cain say after he kills his brother 'anyone who finds me will kill me... Um who? Who else was there? He had just killed 1/4 of the entire population! So then he took his 'sister' and moved to the land of Nod and started a CITY!? The CITY? A city of two people? Well they had a son at that point so they had a 'city' of four... Idiotic story and your only on chapter what 4?

    Idiot book...

    I don't understand why you would bother studying with them if you don't believe what they're saying. Why waste your time?
