So were any bible prophecies true?
by cheeseman ini'm just wondering to what extent the bible accurately predicted future events?.
when i was a good little jw, i was constantly reassured that we could have confidence in the paradise because the bible always got it's predictions correct since it was inspired by jah, blah, blah.. does anyone know of a good website which critically examines each bible prophecy one by one?
what do real bible scholars with no bias make off all these prophecies?.

Contradictions and NWT
by cheeseman ini have 2 witnesses coming to my door in the near future.
they left me the "why you can trust the bible" tract which claims there are no contradictions in the bible.
so, in preparation i looked out some examples on the internet.

Can't get this out of my system
by cheeseman indoes anyone else here feel that that they are kinda obsessed with all this god/satan malarky?
i mean, i've reached a point where i believe the bible is just a storybook, however, the fact i was lied to all that time by the wts just makes my blood boil.
i feel like screaming.

Knoweedge, Belief and JW's
by cheeseman inhaving been involved in a few online debates with jw's lately, i've realised that no matter how devastatingly logical your argument is, a jw will never accept it.
i began thinking it's obvious this is the conditioning at work and that hiding from cognitive dissonance is their survival method to preserve there beliefs.. however, what are the component parts of this "we're never wrong" attitude?
i started thinking back and i seemed to remember a lot of instances in the publications or talks such as:-.

Is there a contradiction with the wedding in Cana thing?
by cheeseman ini've often read jesus couldn't have been in the wilderness and at this wedding at the same time, so what's going on here?.
is there a case for a real contradiction?.
or is it really just misunderstanding the scriptures?.
