I think they've read this forum and find a lot of people become atheist simply by reading the Bible.

29Reading the Bible in 6 months isn't "anything to brag about" - Anthony Morris
by mac n cheese inthe 2015 annual meeting, specifically, part 1, right about minute 27, has anthony morris emphasizing that "you're better off reading one chapter (of the bible) and really absorbing it" than just reading the whole thing "as a challenge".
while i agree with the the whole idea of meditating on anything you read, it was doing this very thing that brought up so many unanswered questions.
i also came to the constant realization that the jws did not have a clue about what the bible really said.

Modern humans have been on Earth anywhere from 100,000 to 250,000 years. All of the people who ever lived on this Earth prior to the birth, life, and death of Jesus of Nazareth never heard of Jesus nor read the Christian Holy Bible.
There are people alive today who have never heard of the Christian Bible, the Christian Gods or the many religions that have come from this faith base. Their ancestors never did, and neither will their future generations.
This is a tribe of indigenous people living in the Amazon rain forest discovered in 2008. What God(s) do you think they believe in?

Should I associate with this person?
by stuckinarut2 inso there is a guy who wants me to associate with him.
but there are some strange things about him, such as:.
he hears "direction from unseen" forces.. he thinks the idea of slavery was ok.. he likes killing animals and splashing their blood around and making huge bonfires of carcasses smoke all day long.. he has one wife, or maybe two, but is ok with having lots of other sleeping partners as well.. he likes another person who slept with his own daughters.. he thinks women should be subservient and "keep their place".. he frowns on education.. he thinks killing in a war is ok if they deserve it...even babies should be killed.. he is often asking for money.. he thinks that pyramids foretell the future, and that only a few people can explain divine truths to him, except their explanations have changes many, many times...often contradicting other teachings.... etc..... get it?

Science is constantly changing. 50 years from now what is taught now may be 'old light'.
Some things yes, others no.
What I like about Science is that when it is wrong, it admits it, and strives to correct this.
The other thing I like about Science is that if you choose not to believe them they don't judge you and if they deem you unworthy, upon your death, torture you for all eternity in a lake of fire.

My First Birthday.....
by The Marvster ini awoken today and realised immidiately i'm 44 today... and after 3 years of being out, decided to acknowledge my birthday.... i'm off out to treat myself to a big hearty breakfast with cup of tea in the local weatherspoon's by the massive pond full of weird bird-life, later today i'm giving myself a gift of a 90 minute relaxation session in a float tank down by canary wharf in london.... only really have 2 close friends (it's a slow process trusting people agian) and they probably won't be able to see me today, but i'm sure i'll have a belated surprise from them both.... the first thing i did when i remembered was to rush to the computer, connect to the web and put on stevie wonder's 'happy birthday', as i listen to it, tears stream down my face... all those years of my life stolen ' but..... i'm free....'.

Seriously, if the 'last days' are longer than 365 days, then, come on, we're really in the 'last years'. -

Kiana, I recommend you conduct a comparative analysis of the 4 gospels. What you think you know about Jesus is based on contradictory and factually incorrect information. -

Boy oh boy did I feel paranoid at today's WT. Not only are we to watch our associations outside of the Congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the Congregation. This was emphasised by the WT study conductor. It was as if he was saying just watch everyone brothers. BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like it's time to leave.
