  What I want to know is this.

  If the water canopy was a good thing when God created it in the first place, why would he destroy it just to kill people off?

  If God is a benevolent God, why destroy millions of animals by drowning them when obvioulsy it was only the humans that God was displeased with?

  If all humans acted in the way God is supposed to have acted in the flood story the world would be in a worse state than it is in right now.

  Here are some cool ways God could have did it.

  Jeremiah 19:9 ***

  9 And I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they will eat each one the flesh of his fellowman, because of the tightness and because of the stress with which their enemies and those seeking for their soul will hem them in.??

  Ezekiel 5:10-11 ***

  10 ???Therefore fathers themselves will eat sons in the midst of you, and sons themselves will eat their fathers, and I will execute in you acts of judgment and scatter all the remainder of you to every wind.11 ??Therefore as I am alive,? is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord God

  Leviticus 26:28-29 ***

  28 I shall then have to walk in heated opposition to YOU, and I, yes, I, shall have to chastise YOU seven times for YOUR sins. 29 So YOU will have to eat the flesh of YOUR sons, and YOU will eat the flesh of YOUR daughters.

  Deuteronomy

  11. The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.-- 28:35

  12. And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters.-- 28:53

  13. So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat.-- 28:55

  14. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, and toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them.-- 28:56-57

  15. I will heap mischiefs upon them. I will spend mine arrows upon them.-- 32:23

  16. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.-- 32:24

  Jeremiah For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.--8:17

  Zechariah Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.--14:12

  well, i guess it's time i came clean.

  i've actually been seeking reinstatement for almost six months now.

  by getting married, i've removed the next-to-last obstacle to being a part of jehovah's clean people once again.

  Helluva letter! I wish we all could be as open to all about how we feel about the WTS. Some of us just have to much to lose by giving our real names. To those of you who can do, MORE power to you!

  God does exist...

  by czarofmischief in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  earlier a thread emerged, as they do so often, on whether or not god existed.

  i stated that he does, unequivocally and without doubt.

  i refused to preface the statement with the phrase "i believe".

  Very interesting thread! I cant believe how much I missed in only a day! I am with whoever said something to this effect; Here we have an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God who supposedly inspires a bible that is almost impossible to put together cohesively and leaves us to figure it out before he suddenly decides show himself at some future point in time and then destroy us for not worshipping him.

  The skinny on the Leviathan and Rahab monsters

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the primeval conflict myth is a staple of greek, hittite, canaanite, babylonian, and even hindu myth, and the canaanite version appears throughout the ot and even turns up in the christian apocalypse of revelation.

  this post will survey the literary evidence of the myth in the bible and in ancient literature.

  in revelation, jesus is the messiah-figure whose birth is depicted in ch.

  I for one would love for this to be discussed on this board on this thread or another one.

  The subject intrigues me.
