God's chosen nation (lol lol) the Hebrews, had some very bizarre rituals to say the least. Getting 'high', being 'under the influence' would certainly have helped them to do some of the shit they were required, by god, to do!
Senseless animal slaughter considered sacrifices
Use of the magical Urim and Thummim described by the wt as: Objects used to ascertain the divine will when questions of national importance needed an answer from Jehovah.
What else?

In my efforts to 'reverse witness' I always encourage people to watch and listen to Stephen Lett. If they can take him seriously, I know that my efforts are in vain!

i'm reading babylon the great has fallen, god's kingdom rules, published 1963. this was studied years ago when i was about 10-12 years old.
i wanted to just read some of the beliefs from decades ago.
my wife wants to know why i'm reading this book.
You gotta wonder what kind of dementia drug that "Mad Freddy" was on when he wrote the Babylon book? I needed drugs to sit through the book study when that book was on the menu!

archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.
there are still many people who think and act like him.
of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.

Also, the white guy being killed wouldn't be on the news and wouldn't be used as an excuse to riot and loot.
I respectfully disagree Simon!
If 6 black cops pinned down and suffocated a white man in public, the outrage would be of such a magnitude that you can be sure that the racist president of the country, tRump would be all over the news, twitter, and every other means of media and outreach to express an immediate need for action, arrests, and Congressional action!
There is quite a vast chasm of difference in the 2 scenario's.
Senario # 1----- A "black cop of Somali origin gunned down an innocent and unarmed white woman"
Senario #2------ 6 white cops (probably of USA origin) allow, watch, or do nothing as black man is pinned to the ground cutting off his ability to breathe for 6-8 minutes!
I do condemn rioting and looting---------but we all know that desperate people do desperate things!

2020 convention of jehovah’s witnesses.
we warmly invite you to watch this year’s three-day convention presented by jehovah’s witnesses.
as a result of the novel coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, this year’s convention program is being presented online at jw.org.
"ALWAYS REJOICE"!
What an appropriate theme for this year's convention. Every jw will be rejoicing that they didn't have to physically have to attend another boring convention of speaker after speaker after speaker droning on and on and on have to listen to the same bs that has been presented for the past 60-70 years or longer.
Yes REJOICE that they may get ot go on a vacation this year! Yippee and REJOICE!

the latest watchtower of august 2020 discusses on page 15, "how will the resurrection likely take place?".
since learning real truths as opposed to the org's version of truth, has your view of the resurrection changed significantly?
just one example - regardless of psalm 37:9,11,29: matthew 5:5 & revelation 21:3,4, do you now believe that our destination is heaven rather than earth?.
TRUTH---everyone has their own version of TRUTH but when a person's version of TRUTH is based on writings of men that are subject to wildly different interpretations---well!!!

It sure sounds like many of my fellow forum members here subscribe to the slogan "Being white makes everything right!"
Would you have a different opinion if 6 black police officers pinned down a white man in broad daylight and knelt on his neck till he died?
just saying!
the latest watchtower is now out and they make this statement -.
7 during the thousand year rule of christ, all of jehovah’s earthly children will have to make changes to please him.
so all of them will have true fellow feeling as they help the resurrected ones to combat sinful tendencies and to live by jehovah’s standards.
What is the ancient Hebrew or Greek word for "children" and what does it mean? lol-lol You can bet that the wt will fast talk around this if it becomes an issue with the sheeple!

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."
