The evidence becomes overwhelming on the origins of the Hebrew religion. Its an amalgamation of Canaanite Ba'al worship mixed with teachings from whichever empire was currently occupying the land (Egypt/Persia).

Things that YHWH Never Told Me. Did You Know that YHWH Came from Egypt? Hmmmm!!
by fulltimestudent ini belong to a group (best description that i can think of) that specialises in sharing academic papers.
ok, sometimes that provides me with all kinds of interesting material pertinent to my research interests.
but, sometimes, (and since i have not read all of it, i'm assuming its fair dinkum, genuine research) something turns up (not among my usual research interests) that blows my simple brain.. anyway, after a brief examination, my conclusion is this: i think charlie russell would have gone gaga over this research.. the author has named his paper, .

California to ban sales of fossil fuel cars in 15 years
by mickbobcat inthis will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.
first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.
if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.

I believe in climate change and I support non-fossil fuel energy sources that actually work. This is actually an insane idea for California. California imports more electricity than any other state in the union. There are people unable to flee the wildfires because of the rolling blackouts and because the own only an electric vehicle.
Add to this that there are not enough child laborers and cobalt mines in Africa to manufacture the batteries for all the electric cars that would be needed to replace the fossil fuel vehicles in California.

Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?
by minimus inthey have predicted this for years.
religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.
the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

I always remember the Watchtower teaching that all governments would turn on all religions. Witnesses theorized it would be a seizure of all property and wealth. My personal thoughts when I was a Witness was that it would include all Watchtower assets, as technically the Watchtower teaches Witnesses are separate from the corporation. It was only after this the governments would see Witnesses still chugging along that they would finally turn on the Witnesses.
There are so many religions, many that have no financial assets, that I don't see how this would be possible. I cannot see every religion, but Jehovah's Witnesses, being eradicated. This could only happen if 8 billion people minus the Witnesses decided to give up religion entirely.

A Growing Problem for Materialists
by Sea Breeze inthe famous double-slit experiment proves that light travels both in individual particles called photons and also as a mathematical probability wave.
matter itself exhibits this particle-wave duality which allows objects to exist in two different places at the same time, depending on whether of not you are looking (testing) at it.
scientists have recently been able to get molecules as large as 2000 atoms to exhibit this duality!.

I often find when persons refer to theist or creationist ideology of the origins of the universe it is actually inferring Judeo-Christian beliefs. Look at the Hindus. They believe the universe always existed and will always exist. That after a time the universe is sort of reset.
The interesting thing about that is it sort of follows the idea of the Big Bounce Theory. The Big Bang was actually just the last reset.

Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD
by neat blue dog inin a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.
i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .
what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

"Jehovah's enemies will be destroyed and eaten by maggots because they're not worthy of a burial. We don't rejoice over this, but, well, they're FINALLY destroyed. <Blows out match>"
Queue audience canned laughter because they find it funny.
I'd like to pose the question to Witnesses - Did you laugh? Do you look forward to billions of humans being destroyed like Tony Morris does?

Twisting Micah 6:8 to fit the Governing Body's narrative
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmark sanderson: “wisdom is with the modest ones” (prov.
here is governing body member mark sanderson reading micah 6:8 from the new world translation.
twisting micah 6:8 to fit the governing body's narrative to be ''loyal'' to jehovah and ingrained into every member's brain to also include the ''governing body.

In Micah 6:8 the Hebrew word hesed or chesed is being translated as "mercy" in some translations and as "loyalty" in the new Watchtower Bible. Hesed is not easily translated into a single English word. Mercy is on the right track, but there's more to it. However, loyalty is not the idea and being loyal to someone or an organization is definitely not what the author was trying to convey.

Doug:
There is a YouTube channel I follow in which the content creator goes over the creation account in Genesis chapter 1 (apparently the creation account in Job differs). The content creator suggests that the creation account of Genesis is an allegory that contains Persian mythology. The reason it does not say that God created the Sun, but rather refers to lights, is because the Hebrew word for Sun is the same as a Persian god. I have not verified this, but I think it relates to your research.

I believe a materialist is one who upholds the credo of science - "If it cannot be measured it does not exist."
When one introduces an idea with evidence that goes outside the credo, those who uphold it simply raise the bar of evidence required for proof.

Good one, Nowwhat. I had a similar thought. Publisher Window Washer watches as his donation to the World Wide Work is put to good use entertaining the Governing Body entourage at the local Regional Convention.
