so my parents continue to pester me about getting baptized.
the other day my dad told me that i was old enough to make a decision, and was wondering why i wasn't ready (assembly is in a few weeks) so i told him calmly that i have many doubts and if i were to get baptized it has to be 100 percent my idea.
he was a little annoyed by this, and now wants to study the "is there a creator that cares about you" book (which is complete bs) with me.
You've got a good heart BlackWolf. Some younger folks like you just enter into shouting matches with their parents over it, which usually leads nowhere good. Keeping a calm, loving attitude even when your parents might become confrontational will go long ways in attempting to keep some sort of peace within your family.
JUST DONT GET BAPTIZED, NO MATTER WHAT!!!
the un has banned religion.

Yesu Kristo: Do you actually know what spiritual Israel is?
He has had difficulty in the past differentiating between the 144k and the great crowd, so his understanding on the subject is limited.
A B, do look up who they are so that you can understand why we say that contrary to what the Bible teaches, WT believes Jesus is NOT the mediator for everyone.

Yesu the JW teach Jesus is our mediator
JWs teach Jesus is only mediator for the 144k. So, according to Watchtower, he's NOT your mediator AB.
"So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the "mediator" only for anointed Christians."
Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31
"Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members." Worldwide Security Under the "Prince of Peace" (1986) pp.10-11

So A B, in an attempt to prove me wrong regarding the pyramids, you posted a source from Christendom, otherwise known to JWs as Babylon the Great. If Satan is the one directing Christendom, wouldn't it be weird that he's guiding them towards proving the bible correct? Shouldn't Satan be doing the opposite?

dubstepped: I guess it kind of shows that he doesn't really believe like he says. Welcome to the dark side A Believer
I agree. His being here clearly shows he doesn't believe at all.
A Believer: Was reading the entire Bible ever a requirement to be in any religion?
When you are on here claiming that you know for 100% for sure that this is the one true religion according to the Bible, then yes, you should definitely have read it.

Sanchy I don't get you're point.
My point is that this proves bible chronology is wrong and thus unworthy of being believed in. You are placing your faith in fairy tales that can be easily disproven with science and archaeology.
it really is great.

I see the JW teaching as return to original christian teaching
Nothing can be further from the truth. First century Christians did not meet in kingdom halls, they didn't all have to preach door to door, they didn't all have to turn in monthly field service reports, they had no governing body, there was no scheduled meetings twice a week nor yearly assemblies, there was no weekly "family worship nights", there were no Bethels nor branches, there were no judicial committees or disfellowshipping as JWs do, and the list of differences goes on and on.

http://www.aeraweb.org/projects/how-old-are-the-pyramids/
Archaeologists believe Egypt's large pyramids are the work of the Old Kingdom society that rose to prominence in the Nile Valley after 3000 B.C. Historical analysis tells us that the Egyptians built the Giza Pyramids in a span of 85 years between 2589 and 2504 BC
*** w71 7/1 p. 410 Where Did Moses Get His Information? ***
According to Bible chronology, the global flood of Noah’s day occurred in 2370 B.C.E.
So Pyramids = ~2500 BC
Noah's Flood = 2370 BC
