Bible Contradictions
by brotherdan ini will go out on a limb and say that this has probably been discussed alot.
but for my own personal benefit i'd like to hear everyones "favorite" bible contradiction.
i'd also like to hear any refutes that anyone has to any of these contradictions.

God is jealous, but God is love - which is it?
Sampson got mystical powers because, in part, he kept his hair long - Paul says long hair on men is against nature. How long should my hair be?
Lot was a good man - yet he had sex with his daughters, and offered his daughters out to (what is commonly explained as) a rapist crowd. Seems a little contradictory to me...?
There are little inconssitencies between the Gospel accounts - to me, so what, but you'd think an inspired Word would be completely error-free.
Then there's the little problem of that rodent mis-identified in the OT - probably not the kind of contradiction you're looking for, but from an infallible document it's a little perplexing.
Certainly "my favorites" are not of particular value - there's whol Websites devoted to this stuff. Google is your friend.

To new Christians on JWN
by brotherdan ini wanted to make a few comments to those of you that have recently begun to question or have already left the wt and made their way onto this site.
this site is a great resource to learn how others are coping with leaving the organization and moving on into a fulfilling life.. i wanted to write this post because i think reading something like this would've been helpful to me to understand where a lot of people that comment on this site are coming from.
you are going to hear from a wide range of people that have moved on to a diverse range of beliefs.

One can understand Shabazz' reaction to lifetimes of oppression.
Beck's only oppression is the lessening of institutionalized bigotry.

1975 - Lest We Forget
by GetBusyLiving ini find the topic of the 1975 end of the world scenario facinating, especially since i never lived through it.
do you old schoolers ever feel concerned that people will one day forget about what really went down?
with whitewashed tripe like the 'proclaimers' book informing dubs that it was just the false expectations of over enthusiastic apostates, are you at all concerned that the legacy of bullshit that is 1975 will be a forgotten moment in history blamed on you instead where the blame really belongs?

Even my dad commented this past week: "I was there, I know what Knorr said, I heard him myself; he said 1975 would be the end." Those of us that lived through it will know - the rest may choose to not believe. Everyone who stays in will make some excuse to be part of the herd.
The absurd part is that even with the cold light of day, dad still thinks there's reason to believe the WTS still has Truth.

Lack of belief in an Intelligent Designer for the Universe equals belief in something else causing the Big Bang.
Er, no.
I feel no compulsion to believe anything whatever about the big bang. I am very comfortable just saying, "I dunno."
Why make stuff up without evidence?

Atheists - Do you ever talk to God?
by AK - Jeff ini scream out sometimes.

I feel in constant contact with "the universe", something vital that is bigger than myself.
I just don't understand it as some "God" personality.
It just occurs as me being a part of a larger physical and emotional context.
But...no, no talks or railing against God, though I did go through what you describe.
