The god concept evolves. The ancients believed god to be all things, both good and evil, however, this does not hold up to logic when making the claim that he is 'all loving'. So Jesus had to be invented to move to that ideal and also cover off the whole why do we die and why does evil/sin persist? Unfortunately, with the ransom being paid by Jesus' death, another logic fallacy was created.

A difficult yet necessary decision
by Brother Jeramy inthe past five weeks have been perhaps the most painful in my life as a witness.. some months ago a young man (i'd say in his late thirties or early forties) began attending meetings at my kingdom hall.
he had just moved to my area from another state.
he had disassociated himself from his home congregation many years back, when he was 20 years old and going through many of the typical trials and temptations most young men experience.. two of the elders met with him initially, and they later shared the details with the body of elders.

Hi Alchemist... first of all, I do like your username. And... if you truly are an alchemist, the JWs are not for you.
Just curious. You said you have been inactive for 8 years. What made you become inactive?

I think researching the origins of the Bible and the belief systems that existed pre-Bible, as well as researching the information in the Bible against current Scientific, Medical, Geological, Archealogical etc information is an excellent way for a believer to begin sifting through the doctrine and dogma that has been heaped upon many of us to determine just exactly what is real and what is pure fantasy
Remnants of older belief systems run through present day faiths. The Egyptian 'Book of the Dead', as an example, is an interesting study showing that pre-Bible belief included an afterlife where a type of testing occurred in the subterrane, a judgment of the heart, and either paradise or unpleasant destruction. There are other similarities as well.

To Blue Dot or Not to Blue Dot. That is the question ....
by Oubliette inso i've been noticing recently that some khs in the area where i live (socal) are putting up the jw.org little blue dot, but others are not.
i would think this would be a mandatory directive from hq.
does anyone here have any intel on the matter?.

Yes... the Botchtower blue dot... far more insignificant than the pale blue dot picture of the Earth taken by the Voyager 1 space probe as it left our solar system on Feb 14, 1990.

If you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of Watchtower and JWs in general ...
by Island Man inif you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of watchtower and jws in general then i'm sure this week's watchtower study (week of june 15-21, 2015) completely obliterated such doubts.
the study article (watchtower april 15, 2015, page 19: how real is your relationship with jehovah?
) was filled with blatantly fallacious reasoning that were outdone only by the more fallacious reasoning on the part of commenting jws.. the article, in paragraph 2, says this about a relationship with jehovah:.

How Real Is Your Relationship With Jehovah?
Just as real as my relationship with the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa Claus.
