Let it be correctly acknowledged that the ancient Hebrews embellished stories about their god into creating its power and relevance, much like the majority of ancient civilizations.
In other words these stories are of fiction and that should be an accepted fact.
What if these stories are really true. What if there is a God and he is a maniac. That would explain all the crazy shi** in the world.

Ok, let me see if I got this right because I want to be a good example and follow the Bible.
David has someone kill Uriah, (sort of like something the mob would do) then he steals his wife Bathsheba. She becomes pregnant and her first son dies, (poor bastard) the second son is named Solomon and he is given the Kingdom, Godly Wisdom, Gold in abundance and 1000 wives and concubines. Bathsheba becomes part of the linage of Jesus Christ. So everyone is blessed
Next example; David counts people and Jehovah kills 70,000 people who had no idea that they were dying because David counted them.
Moral of the story; find some good looking sister, get her pregnant, hire a hit man to kill her husband and you will be blessed.
And whatever you do, “Don’t count anyone”
so, like every year, there's a campaign going on about giving people convention invites and urging them to attend the convention.
what an utterly moronic waste of time.
we live 500+ kilometers away from the convention hall.
So, why do they keep this idiotic practice going year after year?
For the same reason they keep teaching that 1914 was the beginning of the last days!!!

Why do you think? I can testify!!

i was told that today by a jw...no more to say.
What if I just lick the orange??????
my views on race.
my grandmother and mother came from new orleans without any perceivable sense of superiority toward people of color.
the infamous n-word was never uttered in my household.
so, many of y'all know bits and pieces of my story of waking up, but i thought it might be nice to have it all in one place.. i was baptized at 11, auxiliary pioneered every summer, regular pioneer at 17, ministerial servant by 19, then went to bethel for a year.. i always had minor doubts from time to time, but nothing serious.
always dismissed doubts and decided to "just have faith.".
after leaving bethel, i was never really firing on all cylinders "spiritually speaking.
im not sure if bruce had a sex operation but lets say someone did have a sex operation and then studied with the witnesses and wanted to get baptized, would he qualify in todays jw world?
could he have privileges?
the bible says the past cant be held against you, once you accept the truth.

The answer I got, mid 90s, was that a reverse transition would be expected -
I guess there's only one way to find out the current view for 2015, I'm gonna have to call up an elder and ask what their view is today.
