The Bible-- Full of Errors And Inconsistencies?

i noticed in the "magic" thread many former jw's no longer adhere to the bible as the unerring and accurate word of god.

if you feel this way, can you please list any specific reasons/arguments as to why not.

this thread isn't for debating purposes, but simply for listing.

How would you like it if Jehovah took a vacation from you?

from the platform: when encouraging school-age children to use their summer, and adults to use their secular vacations for pioneering, we were asked, how would you like it if jehovah took a vacation from you?.

w/82 5/15 zealous parents produce missionaries p.11.

we were brought up in a happy theocratic home where our parents helped us to love and live the truth.

Questions From Thinkers
by Perry in

2. beliefs
how do you explain david's graphic portrayal of jesus' death by crucifixion (psalm 22) 1000 years before christ lived?.

how do you account for the odds (1 in 10 to the 157th power) that even just 48 (of 300) old testament prophecies were fulfilled in jesus christ?.

in what sense was jesus a "good man" if he was lying in his claim to be god?.

can anyone explain to me just how and why the jw's confidently believe that jesus came and "inspected" all the other religions and found every one lacking and failing his expectations except the little group of bible students who went on to become the jw's?.

this is the biggest gap between history, logic and common sense and wt belief, to me.

more ludicrous than all the propehecies put together.. i'd be really interested to know all the different strands of this.

Visit from anointed
by wezz in

2. friends
so tonight i get to be graced by the presence of one of the anointed.

last time he visited to help me i told him that i have a problem with the 1914 date.

now obviously every single aspect of this date is wrong, but i started off by asking how come they end it in 537 instead of 539, when the king of babylon obviously received his punishment in 539, as foretold by jeremiah.
