  Biblical incidents that bothered me.

  by EverApostate in

  2. bible

  i wanted to discuss the (supposed) biblical events that disturbed me a lot when i was a jw.

  these incidents were just read and discussed in the kingdom hall as if these are normal and justified, which clearly weren't.

  perhaps this led to my awakening.

  @My Name is of No Consequence,

  I use Big J as I don't want to play by the rules of WT - as if that name is Really Holy and as if it really exists.

  What do you think is the origin of Giants and/or Sasquatch?

  genesis says a lot about both pre-flood and post-flood giants.the really big nasty ones drowned in the flood but there were lots of others the israelites had to overcome including the king of basham with his 11 foot iron bed.people nowadays are much smaller and i think its due in part to us losing more and more of adams perfection.

  i turn my attention to the animals that went onboard the ark but are as yet undiscovered.

  during president knorr's time the panda bear was discovered in a market place in china and eventually an american team tracked them down in the wild.

  Understanding Armageddon

  so will armageddon be the biblical one we read about or is it probably going to be a government ban on christians that we will perceive as armageddon?

  Amazingly, Armageddon is only used once in the Bible and the whole JW world revolves around it. What a fantastic spin and fear mongering by WT

  Thanks Everyone. Many valuable points.

  I had always tried to read the Bible as a JW, but would feel very disturbed by the passages and stop reading, within a chapter -guaranteed. Would feel guilty for that sometimes. Now I understand I was trying to swallow a whole herd of swine, all alive. And Its normal for a person to throw up, by doing so.

  To sum up, if we need to feel good and comfortable, don't Read the Bible.

  Any more points, welcome.

  Half banana,

  Glad to see I wasn't alone.
  

  Also, even as a zealot., I never believed the greatest slaughter of all - "Noahs flood" - ever really happened, That is why I never mentioned that.

These incidents were just read and discussed in the Kingdom Hall as if these are normal and justified, which clearly weren't. Perhaps this led to my awakening. Did any of you feel the same? Now I know that most of these events are just imagination and could possibly never have happened. But as a JW we were conditioned to believe that these were real.

  Big J killing the First born of all Egyptians because Pharaoh didn’t oblige

  Slaves can be beaten, provided they don’t die

  Children Mauled to Death by bears, because they made fun of Elisha

  Big J kills 70,000 people because David took a census

  Uzziah killed instantly by Big J, because he prevented the ark from Falling

  Daniel's accusers and all their family thrown to the Lions. (Why the Family??)

  Key to some universal truths—Queen Jezebel has it!

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even wicked queen jezebel knew ‘what is good and what is bad’ because she described those who hurt others for no reason as “good-for-nothing.” (1 king 21:10).

  from her comment the following universal truths can be discerned:.

  1) everyone is endowed with the knowledge of good and bad, which makes god’s communication with humans unnecessary.
