now that we have stepped away from the jw faith, how do you feel about the bible itself?.
what about those awkward sections of scripture?
how did you rationalise or justify those sections?.
A man was stoned to death for picking up sticks on the Sabbath. So much of a Loving God.
I bring this up whenever I get into a conversation with any Christian. And would ask them if I was the man who picked the stick and they were the Israelites, would they have stoned me ? Would be fun to watch the Terror look on their faces

at a local meeting, one of the elders said that if jesus were on the earth today 'you can be sure' he would be preaching by showing videos on a tablet.. i kid you not.. i wonder what videos he'd be playing?.
obviously this was the elder's own pet theory.
wasn't it?.
Scratch When he lived, he preached using the latest methodology available in his time.
Careful Really? What latest methodology was that?
Jesus, climbed a mountain, following Satan, to see all the Kingdoms of the Earth. That should have been the latest Methodology
And he rode on a Donkey + colt . Add that too.
i just had a thought of clarity regarding the jw explanation for this doctrine.
they explain that satan challenged god regarding his right to rule.
god failed to prove his right to rule.
Would the president of a country challenge a local thug, that he is the most powerful person in the country.
That Would be too silly.
But that's the way JWs are taught to believe
never have understood why sudden destruction most come after announcement of peace and security.
is not peace and security a good thing?
can someone give a logical answer to it..
Jehovah is a Jealous God and he would never give his glory to anyone, as per Bible.
Hence when mere humans achieve peace and Security, he cant withstand it and will bring upon destruction. Sounds like the action of a Psycho ?

Almighty Jehovah cant even Protect his name in his own Bible.
Not Surprising that he couldn't protect his people from Pitbulls
okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.
they reduced printing of mags.
they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.
May be they would come up with a plan like "If you give more, you will become one among the anointed and rule with Jesus". Amen
louisiana televangelist seeks donations for 54m privet jet.
claims god is behind the idea.
he stated "if the lord jc was physically on earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey".
"if the lord JC was physically on earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey"
Jesus could have demanded an Expensive Chariot during his time but he was humble enough to request a donkey.
in 1935 there were 63,146 who attended the memorial and 52,465 partook.
(proclaimers book page 717).
according to the bible teach book on page 78, it says, “since the days of the apostles, god has been selecting faithful christians in order to complete the number 144,000”.
144K is a random number, blabbered by an insecure self styled Prophet, who had no other Job to do.
i cant seem to understand this text actually, can someone please explain it to me.
The bible means Physical sickness, that would be cured by literal(blessed)oil.
Jws and some christian denominations, spin this as a figurative speech, as they cant demonstrate this, if taken literally.
