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.
God can become a raving maniac
Yes, the Bible has several incidents where the almighty becomes a Raving maniac. How come this is possible if he is the Epitome of love ? Losing patience and becoming angry on petty things are the worst of imperfections and yet the Almighty very often Succumbs to it.
Poor guy . I think there are no Anger Management classes in Heaven.

In a personal discussion with an elder, I was told that BigJ would resurrect the (innocent) people that he himself killed like the first born of Egyptians, 70K killed due to Davids Census and so on.
Yes, And the ones like Sodom and Gomorroh wouldn't.
i started studying with witnesses about 21 months ago.
started going to meetings in march 2017, went to the memorial and attended my first convention.
i love it.
Don't fall for the love Bombs that your congregation bestows upon you. Its all fake. And this religion is full of deceit and lies. I had personally experienced this.

Right. I used to do the same when debating with any other JW or Christians. When I relate a Biblical Event with a similar experience they would provide normal feedback..
As soon as I say its from the Bible, they would go on with the Defensive crap like "God Knows best", "Nothing is evil in Gods Eyes", "Jah will resurrect even if he kills" and so on....

Also, this fictional incident might have been written to implement implicit obedience.

@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.
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.
Answer to Title - Myths.
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.
