Jesus was sexually abused
by excito-are inafter attending a recent lecture on the priesthood of christ by alan torrance some interesting information was given regarding the abuse suffered by christ at the hands of the roman soliders.
in short, during that time period the soliders would sexually abuse their prisoners.
" the bible describes jesus as being stripped and mocked which is in fact code being sexually abused by the roman soliders.

Death of JW ideology - Soon?
by excito-are inbeing a scotsman i find myself pround of the history of scotland.
however, there are many events that took place in scotland that are simply shameful.
consider the time period of 1500 - 1650 where in scotland over a 1,000 woman were burned at the stake accused of being a witch.

Satan, could be the good guy
by excito-are inyou know, there is always two sides to a story, sometimes more.
surely that must be the same with the bible stories.
who in all logic would only listen to one side and form all opinions from that.

Have a nice Doomsday
by excito-are injust been reading nicholas guyatt book on why 50 million americans believe the apocalypse will take place in their lifetime.. a lot of the book is about tim lahaye's books on the end of the world - the left behind series.

Miracles and the wonderful protection Jehovah gives to his people in todays world
by excito-are inthought i would tell you a story given by a member of the church i attend these days in scotland.
after a discussion about miracles in which i made my point that as being raised as someone who belived in god interacting with those in world with whom he truly loved, i had now come to an understanding that if god is the embodiment of omnipotence and goodness, then surely he would not play the role of a trickster who randomly throws miracles about like a trickster, causing chaos and a lack of understanding of the laws of nature due to this.
but it is the very fact of science and the laws of nature that show miracles to be uncommon, and that is is merely that man fails to understand that an certain event has yet to be explained through our knowledge of the world.

Thanks all who comment here
by excito-are ini would like to say a big thankyou to all that have commented here.
a really big thankyou.. as having being brought up as a jw, and believing all that sprouted from bethel as fact, there is no doubt this discussion board has speeded up my awakening as well as many other sources and experiances.
i have tended to take a lot from this site, and not give much feedback or my experiances as an jw, which i would like to change.

Another non biblical practice by Jehovah's witnesses
by excito-are inmatthew 10.8 speaks about the preaching work and states " you received free, give free".
the society no longer charges for the magazines, but should witnesses still accept contributions from householders?
does this not conflict with the bible?

The candy that makes us all combine to bring the watchtower down!
by excito-are inthe amount the times i browse the board and read some great posts destroying ideology that was once almost indestructable in jw world.
surely with all those great thoughts we can construct something to really bring down down what is ineffect a man made idea.
this will not happen overnight, but think long term 20 or 30 years.

by excito-are inmatthew 10 vrs 8 speaks about the preaching work.
it states "you received free, give free".
the society no longer charges for the magazines but would this not indicate that you should not take contributions from householders while on field service?
