7:18 a good tree is not able to bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree to bear good fruit.
5 but the lord saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth.
To paraphrase the famous scripture about scripture,
"All Scripture is inspired by Men and beneficial for indoctrinating, for guilt tripping, for (up)setting normal things in life, for disciplining in vengeance, 17 so that the so called man of god may be fully brainwashed, completely scared shitless and equipped for mundane, ritualistic works."

there seem to many seemingly political topics started in this section.
it's usually something controversial and not related to this subject area.
it would be nice to have this area reserved for it's appropriate subject.
What the hell! Politics and religion are the most interesting subject to debate! We don't need to agree but we should all have an opinion!

last wednesday my elder brother called me to let me know mom had died.
she was 97 years old and was in a nursing home for the last 7 years.
her mind had left her many years ago to the point she didn't recognize any of us.
Condolences my brother! Always tough to lose mom! Great to hear that you and your brother have been able to talk to each other. Who knows, you may even be able to "witness" to him about why you left the borg and help him see that it's never too late to learn ttatt!

this is a topic that i find really interesting- how the bible, in particular, the new testament was compiled and how the jw organisation strives to negate, scoff at and diminish the influence of the catholic church in its development.. here is the official stance of the org: .
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/library/r1/lp-e/all-publications/watchtower/the-watchtower-1963/april-15.
'the roman catholic church claims responsibility for the decision as to which books should be included in the canon, and reference is made to the councils of hippo (a.d. 393) and carthage (a.d. 397), where catalogues of books were formulated.
What always amazed me was how the wt tenaciously teaches and claims that jehovah made absolutely sure that the "holy scriptures" were preserved but he sure a hell didn't make sure that the most important aspect, his name, was preserved and how he "allowed" it to be 'removed and hidden' by Christendom! lol lol

i can never get my head around this one ?
don`t the powers that be ever really investigate religions that claim exemption from paying taxes because they claim they are a not for profit religion ?.
you would have to be a brain dead imbecile not to see that the religion known as the" watchtower bible and tract society" otherwise known as "jehovah`s witnesses" are nothing more than a religious publishing house that have made x amount of $$$$$ over the years since their inception in the late 1800`s to this day.
All organized religions are a business and businesses need profit to continue to be viable! WT is no different but I agree that religion shoud be paying at least some taxes.

many of them came down to have relations with women.
does that mean there are male angels?
if there are male and female, what makes them that with no physical body?
Some male angels came down and had sex with female humans which created hybrid giants called Nephilim. But they all got wiped out by jehober at the flood!
Other, less handsome, male angels came down and had sex with female lizards and created hybrid giants called Dinosaurs. They also got wiped out by jehober at the flood!
Makes sense ---------right!

besides growing up in the religion, why do you think people turn to jehovah’s witnesses?
.
what made you become a witness?
Heavy recruitment! JW's being at the "right" place at the "right" time.

so if the bible is the inspired word of god and i don't believe it is by any stretch, how did adam when he was kicked out of the garden of eden know what a spinning sword was?
did adam invent swords?
more bible non sense garbage.
The loving god jehober created not only the first weapon, a simple sword, he created a weapon of mass destruction a flaming spinning blade!
