Don't Make Jehovah Sad Because You Know What Happened Last Time He Cried His Eyes Out (leaps in logic)
by frankiespeakin inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usrdwk4t3xy.
yes we all know what happened, jehovah cried, and the world died, he cried those sea water tears for 40 days(nights encluded) the waters rose and people died, so please the watchtower corporation is begging you, you little ones especially, please don't upset jehovah and make him sad throw those wizzard toys in the garbage, better yet, burn them, because we don't want to be blood guilty by leaving these dangerous toys where other children might get them.
in fact all these demonic toys should have a label on them warning:"possesion of this toy makes our heavenly father sad please disguard after opening".

More evidence of fraud in 2nd Peter: Noah didn't preach, per Genesis 6
by adamah inthanks for reading the 3-part series on the contradictory characterization of lot in genesis vs 2nd peter, analyzing genesis 19 and comparing it to 2nd peter 2. in the articles, i took a step-by-step approach to show how 2nd peter's declaring lot as "righteous" was exactly the opposite goal of the author of genesis, since the point of the story is how unrighteous lot was saved not due to his righteousness, but on behalf of his righteous uncle abraham (the star of the torah).. of course, the book of 2nd peter is widely acknowledged by nt scholars to be a fraudulent work, written under a pseudonymous (fake) name in order to 'patch up' some loose ends in the torah, likely to support then-blossoming doctines of christianity.
of particular interest to ex-jws is that one intent was to support the duty to warn others of the coming end of days, including the jw's beloved scripture, matt 28:19, that justifies their preaching work: "go thereforth and make disciples...." the only support for the claim that noah preached before the flood is found in 2nd peter, so it's a dubious claim.. in the latest article, i examine the flood account in genesis 6, showing how god had already condemned mankind even before he offered the covenant agreement to noah, so there's absolutely no reason for noah to be a "preacher of righteousness", as 2nd peter claims, since god's judgment had already been passed, and death sentence had been handed down.. .

Children of God Cult
by EmptyInside ini was listening to an interview on public radio of chris owens,formerly of the band,girls.. anyway,they touched on briefly how he was raised in the children of god cult.
he mentioned how isolated he felt,and when he left at 16,he accepted the fact that he would lose communication with his mother.
since that is the way of groups like that.

Blood, what is the spirit behind the law?
by CookieMonster induring the years when i was an active jw i never questioned the ban on blood transfusion.
i have been inactive now for a number of years and even during those early years i reasoned i will never accept a blood transfusion.
however, thinking about it with an open mind, i question the current teaching of jw's on banning blood transfusion on any account even if it means saving a life.

Blog post-- Genesis vs 2nd Peter: Lot wasn't SUPPOSED to be viewed as "righteous", but "unrighteous".
by adamah inso here's part i (of iii) of an in-depth analysis of the biblical character of lot, examining the contradictory depictions offered in the genesis 13/19 vs 2nd peter's assessment.
i still need to pare the article down, as it's way, way too much info, likely unnecessary to make a relatively simple point.
it's important to be thorough, esp.
