tor1500, As per my knowledge, Vengeance and violence In the bible overrides the little love it contains
To be a Christian, we have to reject or provide unscrupulous justifications for the Atrocities contained in the Bible.
moses spoke to the entire assembly deuteronomy 31:3, leviticus19:2 and exodus 16:9 no sound amplification, we must remember he was speaking to 2 million people.
solomon in 2 chronicles spoke to thousands maybe millions, so how the hell did folks a mile away hear..you need a sound system for 200 folks in a close building in the kh.... moses, solomon and others had a great set of vocal cords.....

a 'concerned' jw in my congregation rang me earlier and said she's noticed my daughter sits miserable at the meetings and said she's a right miserable girl in general.
i said she's happy and hyper when she's not at the meetings they're just really boring and she doesn't want to be there.
apparently i'm a bad parent coz she feels that way.
When Brother A annoyed me like this , for putting in less hours in FS, I sarcastically said "Look Brother A, I am sinful and imperfect as the Bible says and cant be as perfect and righteous as You"
He got the message and was a little hurt too. I didn't care.
what does the evidence show?.
"...two distinguished scholars have tried to introduce a little reality into the debate about the world's trajectory.
swedish intellectual johan norberg and harvard university's steven pinker provide a persuasive antidote to the apocalyptical school of journalism.
Most Probably, I would have died in my infant stages due to Malaria, Typhoid, Cholera or TB, or by any other UNKNOWN communicable disease, had I been born 200 years earlier.
A rough estimate is that 25 million people in Europe died from plague during the Black Death in the 14th Century. People suffered pathetically and died without knowing the cause and reasons.
Thanks and I owe my life to those Medical inventors who discovered those diseases and found a remedy for it. Not ashamed to call them as GODS.

When a snake and a Donkey could speak, why cant Moses and Solomon Speak to the entire assembly of Israel ? Have faith !!
was there one certain event or was it more a cumulative thing?.
how many months consecutively does a jw have to miss turning in time to be inactive?.
How dare those GB thugs make this rule and how dumb we had been following them.
jehober told the israelites at zechariah 4:6 .
“this is the word of jehovah to ze·rub′ba·bel: ‘“not by a military force, nor by power, but by my spirit,” says jehovah of armies".
why in the hell did he have them form a 603,550 man army according to numbers 1st chapter vs 46;.
Why did the Israelites need a 603,550 man army?
Why did Solomon have 600 wives and 300 concubines ?
These are all some mindless scribbling, written by nomads, while their cattle were grazing.
was there one certain event or was it more a cumulative thing?.
Whenever I was out in FS, I used to feel that it was very childish and to go and tell this silly message about God and Armageddon. Very often things seemed too good to be true in the Org, like the 144k, only Jws being saved....Jesus picking WT in 1919 ....
I had doubts about Noah's Flood and many events in the Bible, even before I started to think critically.
A JW friend of mine tipped about the 607 BC manipulation and then the flood gates of internet opened upon me.
The most disturbing things for me were the Organ Transplant bans, Blood fractions, UNO ties and 1975 failure blame on the R&F.
Then I bought Raymond Franz "Crisis of Conscience" and read it cover to cover.
All my above research paid off. I was able to submit my disassociation letter with firmness and conviction.
Simultaneously researched about the Bible and found it to be a Fraud also.

.
What about reports from North Korea, Singapore, China and other countries where the JW are banned.
Jah - the almighty - is unable to life the ban on those countries or afraid to do so?
The most powerful in the universe cant do this? After all, the Bible says that Every nation is like a drop of water to Jah.
What if we ask a JW about this, and what would they reply ? Anyone ?
counties once at war with one another can forgive and move on.
even horrible murderers who killed the family members of someone can be forgiven for the act that they did.. but god, no no no.
no such thing can happen.
Histories all murders, rape, poverty, hatred, crime, suffering, diseases, abuse....and all the bad things, came because Eve ate an apple.
But Satan, the greatest sinner, is still roaming around without getting affected by bad things as like Humans.
What a mindless, illogical and stupid reasoning.
