Didn't methuselah live right up to the flood? lol
I love how crazy the flood story makes the bible.
let me see if i have this straight.
we are to believe noah preached over a 100 years with 0 effect.. the bible records that lamech, noah's father had sons and daughter's but the number is not included.
to have a plural number of brothers and sisters, there would be at least four siblings, two brothers and two sisters.. my folks had 6 kids and 90 years later there are over 100 family members.. some say based on what's written in gen.6:3, noah preached anywhere between 100-120 years.

haven't got an electronic copy, or scans.
just a heads up..
ok more about the jw wedding i attended.
there were these two couples at our dinner table that were having an all out pissing competition as to who was the most spiritual.
they were comparing who was in "the truth" the longest, who pioneered where and for how long.
first post on here.
i've been lurking for 3-4 years and i mean i've been a mega lurker, doing marathon reading sessions for months or weeks.. sometimes i proceed by researching specific topics, or posters; other times just reading current discussions.
i'm particularly fond of "old" post, i.e 10-12-15 years ago.. i have laughed, smiled, got mad, cried etc, just reading some threads here.. as you can see i suffer from some kind of "accute lurkitis".
Welcome, I appreciate when you said
How this forum helped me: I moved from being a half-tormented half-believer to a totally guilt free less than half believer
Although I am totally non believing, I understand the first half of being half tormented half believer.
i just wanna know why...after a thousand dang years, jehovah would even want to think about lettin go of the dude who started it all....satan.

like a thousand years is a long time, and people are supposed to be gettin perfect n stuff during this time, and the earth is supposed to be gettin all perfectionized.... so satan can f- - - it all up again?.

According to the bible satan committed the original sin, not adam and eve, even the WTS says this I believe in the insight book under sin. It started in heaven with him. How the f%$k does he get off so easy, when adam and eve get smited right away and countless billions of their kids suffer...
the bible is nonsense

anyone read exodus 32 lately???
i consider the bible a work of fiction, and i consider the ot to be barbaric and the underlying theme for everything wrong with religion from jw to radical islam.
it's filled with man made analog thinking that people attribute to an all intelligent creature.

It's filled with man made analog thinking that people attribute to an all intelligent creature. This is so stupid. I find verse 14 very interesting, after the people start worshipping their gold calf, god tells moses, ok that's it, I am going to EXTERMINATE them, and start over with you. So moses starts talking sense into Yaweh... I kid you not... then here is the interesting part (Exodus 32:14)
So Jehovah began to reconsider the calamity that he had spoken of bringing on his people.
Now one way to the other the most intelligent entity in the universe was wrong. If not before for considering it, then after for not destroying the people he just f$#ked over the Egyptians for. So he did all that to be like screw it, kill em all, lets start over AGAIN. If verse 14 doesn't wake people minds up to how silly this all is I don't know what else can.
The reset of Exodus 32 just gets worse btw,
28 The Levites did what Moses said. So about 3,000 men were killed on that day. 29 Then Moses said: “Set yourselves apart* for Jehovah today, for each of you has gone against his own son and his own brother; today he will give you a blessing.”
Benevolent loving god? or jealous bloodthirsty monster?
And if moses could talk God out of committing complete genocide against his own people, couldn't elders negotiate with God and talk someone out of being DF'd? lol, maybe god would be embarrassed he got so mad and "RECONSIDER".
Stupid
