  A History of God. Great Video I promise.

  "i explain how i learned from a history of god by karen armstrong that the evidence indicates that the jewish concept of monotheism evolved from the syncretism of various polytheistic sources like canaanite and babylonian polytheism".

  Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed it and learned an entirely new perspective, one that I found highly plausible.

  Watchtower 1954 claims Jesus had nice short hair and NO BEARD....remember the pictures?

  by Witness 007 in

  2. scandals

  flicking thru some old watchtowers i was suprised to see pictures of jesus clean shaven with short hair!!

  wachtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower books now show jesus with short hair and no beard?

  ...because he was shown that way in representations of him that are older then traditional effeminate looking pictures..." {having a beard is not so effeminate may refer to long hair}.

  If they could get away with it, they's have illustrations of Jesus giving talks in a Kingdom Hall.

  I seem to recall a recent illustration in the publications showing first century christians going out in the door to door work with scrolls in hand.

  Didn't know whether to laugh or cry the way their modern activities are fictitiously shown to have Biblical precedence.

  Palin, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Beck, and Coulter all enjoy fanning the flames of hatred with their vile rhetoric.

  Just because someone is deemed "insane" when they act upon what they hear does not excuse the hatemongers from responsibility.

  Rather, it just proves undeniably that these shock jocks are a danger to our society and should no longer be tolerated.

  Something for you to consider, Farkel

  if you decide not to continue telling your story, that is totally understandable to me after the comments from yesidid and dontplaceliterature.

  however, the majority of us would love to hear the rest of it and i think you would love (even need) to write it.

  i'm sure you are well aware that the majority of us on this board have a certain kind of affection for you and respect, and we value your point of view and your opinions.

  I rarely agree with Farkel when it comes to politics. But I still like him, especially his sense of humor. I would absolutely love to hear the rest of his story.

  The Governing Body and the Battle of the Bulge

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i once read an excellent history of the battle of the bulge.

  it pointed out that hitler took a huge gamble because he knew his forces would be ground down otherwise by advancing allies.

  he saw what was coming and rolled the dice............. which may explain what the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is doing: demanding loyalty, attacking college, and trying to intensify shunning.. on the surface, growth looks ok but i believe these numbers are a self deceiving illusion.

  if Facebook/the Internet somehow leads to massive DF'ings across multiple states and Circuits, in some linked fashion

  Is this a real possibility? I'm only on here sporadically, has it been discussed?

  i posted a while back, i've been studying with a nice jehovas witness lady for probably about 6 months.

  after a few weeks i googled a few things (earthquakes, how long we've been on earth, ect.

  ) i realised she was very misinformed.

  i'm impressed with sophisticated thinking on this site.

  after all it is an ex-witness site.

  i wonder what changed in the former witnesses.

  BOTR, I can't stress enough the need to read Steven Hassan's books. At the very least, read Steve's own experience with the Moonies and google the B-I-T-E method of mind control. Check out the website freedomofmind.org. Oh, and I love your screen name! One of my favorite albums.

  Let's see... I was born in... baptized at 16... regular auxiliary pioneered for over a year... ministerial servant at 19...

  my father told me the end was so close I would never graduate high school... that was over 20 years ago...

  research says that C.T. Russell thought the end would come in 1874... J.F. Rutherford said King David would live in his house in 1925... the Society later pointed to 1975 as the end...

  pretty soon you add it all up and realize it's just plain bullsh*t...
