WT is man made organization and JW will reflect good and bad traces in the humanity. While there were nice people, and I enjoyed some of the bible studies, like analysis of James, the theology is based on rubbish and pseudo-science. It is a religion where only momentary explanation of the scriptures matters and they can change at will without anyone questioning it. Overall, WT is destroyer of families, lives, happiness, and human abilities. It is like Northern Korean dictatorship where entiere effort in the organization is dedicated on preaching of never appearing Armageddon. WT does not care about anyone in the organization, everyone is disposable. They will cut you on pieces like a lemon and squeeze all the juice and grind all the skin of you and throw the rest out. Run when you can.

I have encountered anti-semitism entire life, and within JW community as well. In Eastern Europe we had still many Jews and I know my elders were openly antisemtic and ridiculed Jews, Jewish community, and Jewish culture. I had one elder who insisted that Jews bear responsibility for killing Jesus, therefore they are not eligible for God's grace in resurrenction or surviving armageddon.
Anti-semitism is based on early Christian philosophy and its founder was false Apostle Paul. Within the domain of the Roman Empire, it was spread around Mediterranean and transferred to all states that base their culture on Christian principles. Medieval Europe was antisemitic, but there was also a huge cultural exchange between these two communities. In medieval Bohemia, Jews made up to 1/4 of population in Prague, and there were good and bad relationship between these two. While some pogroms occurred in the 1200 years history, it is also crucial say that some of them were iniciated by Church and turned against it as well. When a huge pogroms of 1483 happened during revolution, at the same time wealthy monasteries were looted as well and together with Jews and rabbis were killed many catholic priests and monks. They had also social context. Generally during the war Jews were very loyal and defended city and country against any invaders. Czechoslovak army in exile during WWII was made up to 1/3 of Jewish refugees from Nazi occupation.
Antisemitism is easy, long established escape for people to collectivelly single out entire group of people

I was looking through various Jewish texts to find out what was the age difference between Abel and Cain, and all say that Cain was older and more experienced. Some texts say they were twins, while other say that Cain was twin with his sister, and Abel was born much later where the difference between these two is up to 120! years. Also Midrahs mentions that Adam was unable to procreate with Eve because she was cheating on him with Sammael the Serpent and was ordered by G-d to know his wife and procreate.
Enigma, I always wondered why Abel was not rised from death once Cain killed him. It was certainly in G-d's power to do so.

Maranatha.. almost all tribal societies were naked in the warm areas, they did not know concept of shame and sin. This is a Christian concept. However, for us living in the northern hemisphere with winter sometimes reaching up to -25F, the possibility to be naked is unrealistic. However, many European societies do not have a problem with nudism. You can go this time anywhere in Central and Northern Europe in public places where they allow nudity like you can see in English Garden in Munich where there are in hot summer weekends thousands of naked sunbathers. Many European pools allow and often encourage top off for women and ban trunks/shorts for men.
However, concept of sin through Adam is unknown in Judaism; therefore, your correlation and reasoning influenced by crazy puritans centuries after the Genesis was compiled does not make a sense. 19th century puritans also thought that it was sinfull for women to show forearm or ankle and they destroyed precious ancient, renaissance, and baroque art through their own personal version of extreme puritanism. So if you want to be really literal on biblical nonsense, do you wrap yourself from head to toe with sheet so you do not get tempted..

Apognophos, fanfiction is also Genesis. Nobody knows what was the original story, but what we have in OT is filtered extract from numerous archaic civilizations and cultures that vanished thousands years ago. Midrash give a bit more explanation but in general they were written several hundreds and 1000 years after the complition of Genesis. Even Jews back then knew that Genesis was not sufficient; however, Christians for 2000 years believe that story of Adam and Eve are literally true.

Do you ever get frustrated and feel dirty after sharing experiences on JWN?
by BucketShopBill init's a giant boil on my butt, thinking how long we all were tricked by a cult.
reading so many of our fellows threads, it help's reinforce we made the correct choice in mentally or physically leaving the watchtower's path to truth, they never had it and nobody can prove they did!
ray franz jr. came to that conclusion, even he had to accept "this is not the best of all relgions, in fact, it's on the bad side!

Nope. I grew up with it since I was a toddler. I left when I was in my 20's and never looked back. I wish my family was free of the cult, but it will most likely not happened. I definitelly feel cheated and had my childhood stollen, but this cannot be taken back.

Where would we go, is the question
by Pistoff inwhat better place, what better world can be offered, is the question tossed at those who have left.. what if it is just the same place, without taking everything we hear at the kingdom hall as gospel?.
can we just take with a grain of salt the things we know deep down are without basis?.
it is the same place, with the same friends, but without the drama of feeling that you can never do enough, that you were born sinful.. a faith that does not ask you to treat your family as disposable; a place that does not kick people to the curb when they need their family the most; a faith that lets you trust your heart, not ignore it.. can we just stay in the same place, and realize that we do not have to sacrifice our childrens lives by denying them blood if desperately needed?

Gospels are nonsense. Unfullfilled prophecies, failed expectations, and not authoritative for Jewish population. Where to begin? Original sin, atonement, baptism, Jesus hiking with Devil, Parousia, 12 dudes, Lazarus... Even God of the OT did not rise Abel, nor Moses, yet Lazarus?

Jeannette, some Jewish thinkers and rabbis say that Cain was a product of Eve and Serpent, which is reason why Eve is called mother of all living, while this is not mentioned about Adam. When Eve had bear a child with Serpent she said "At his birth, the exclamation was wrung from Eve, 'I have gotten a man, through an angel of the Lord". Other texts say something similar: "And Adam knew his wife, who had desired the Angel; and she conceived, and bare Cain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the Angel of the Lord." and "And Adam was aware that Eve his wife had conceived from Sammael the angel, and she became pregnant and bare Cain, and he was like those on high, not like those below; and she said, 'I have acquired a man, the angel of the Lord [the serpent of the Lord]." The fallout of Adam and Eve was not eating forbidden fruit, but having unatural relationship with Serpent. God gave Adam an opportunity to admit the crime, but he refuses and blames Eve. Reading various materials I have not seen any specific meaning to the fig leaves except to the references where all flora refused to hide Adam and Eve, and only fig tree felt pitty and hid them from the wrath of God.
Also Talmud mentions that Eve picked the forbidden fruit and fed it to the animals as well, therefore, all living was corrupted, not only mankind. Genesis without deep explanation is incomplete that it does not make much sense.
