assuming the bible true:.
thinking of the story of the way that jehovah, through samuel and saul, dealt with the amalekites; with the discovery of the criminal gene, could this justify the god of the bibles actions against these nations, when he put out the order to not have compassion for them, and the israelites were ordered to put to death, man as well as woman, child as well as suckling...??
Hmm, no Jehovah's Witness answered my question. Here it is again, just in case you missed it;
If the Faithful & Discreet slave announced in a Watchtower that all Jehovah's Witness, in the name of Jehovah, had to kill a baby, would you do it?
Answer honestly please and yes, it is a hypothetical question, but humour me.

"Any difference between that and abortion?"
Well Gordy, it really does depend on when the baby is aborted.
There is much evidence to support that even though a baby (in the first 10 weeks) represents living cell tissue, it has no consciousness.
Isn't killing a fully grown cow, a cow that has lived, breathed, shared emotion, for the sake of a Big Mac, worse that ending the existence of a group of non-consciousness cells?

Oh, and to all those that view the killing of innocents (and yes, babies are innocent) as "not literal" or "I don't believe in that part", I openly call you hypocrites, for "all scripture is inspired of God and beneficial".
I don't believe in God, so I don't count.

Let me pose this question to all those that can justify Jehovah killing all those men, women, children and animals;
If the Faithful & Discreet slave announced in a Watchtower that all Jehovah's Witness, in the name of Jehovah, had to kill a baby, would you do it?
Now, please, answer the question. Don't try and beat around the bush and state "but that would never happen", because, if you believe in the bible, then it did happen. Jehovah instructed his followers to kill babies.
Call this a social experiment, if you will.
Would YOU kill a baby in the name of the glorious Jehovah?

i am in the process of leaving, and those of you who have followed me will know i spoke to my family briefly the other day about my doubts, but not since.
my dad has offered the occasional prayer for various things in the past week, as well as say he wants to study with my preschoolers.
he has also added in the extra tidbits to do with jehovah being the only true god etc.
God made man, made made god.
If you really want answers, please read the book, The Greatest Show On Earth.

Miss meetings? You're having a laugh!
i remember being told by a few elders that we (humans) are indeed mammals.
but how can jehovah's witness believe that humans are mammals, after all, it's the evolution theory (definition of the word "theory" in this context; "the branch of a science or art consisting of its explanatory statements, accepted principles, and methods of analysis, as opposed to practice") that explained that humans were mammals.. so then, my question is this; how can the wbts (and any other creationist movements that believe that we are mammals) follow the tract of evolution up to a point, but then disregard the rest of it?.

recent research involving mitochondrial dna traces human genetics through the mother.
human migration can be traced and time periods estimated.
a human family tree is developed.
Let me get this right, you're trying to tie science in with the bible? It's chalk and cheese.
The old testament talks nonsense. Then we have the new testament, which, let's face it, you need a small amount of cannabis just to get to Revelation. Then you need to turn to harder stuff in order to get through that book, or you can try and find whatever John was on when he apparently wrote it.
Either way, if you, or anyone has ever read the bible, truly read it from cover to cover, no sane person could state that it was from a superior source, but rather, from a few male showvenistic sheephearders.

Spirituality = Deludedness.
30 years of trying to be spiritual have taught me that.

i'm looking for ideas.
four years running and dressing like a monk is wearing off.
my wife as the witch wants to change as well.. she won't do elvira, oh rumplestilskin!!.
I'll dress up as Jehovah.
My costume will look like a cross between Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan. Any thoughts on other genocidal maniacs that I could weave into my costume?
