A little while .I remember them ,'the JWs', saying it was the time in which god took to create eve was the gap. Specifically they put that gap down to months then changed it because the big A hadn't occured!!!....Its almost embarrassing to talk about, Oh why do I even bother??

Why doesn't Jehovah just destroy Satan and the demons then leave humanity alone?
by yadda yadda 2 indid you ever wonder that as a jw?.
if all the trouble on this planet is down to satan and the demons, why not just get rid of them and then leave humankind alone and see how we go from there?
wouldn't a god who "is love" (1 john 4:8) full of mercy and justice at least try that first?

Perhaps this all seeing, all knowing ' god 'actually gets a kick out of watching his oh so inferior subjects suffer. After all the loving aspect of god I.M.O was dreamed up by men who could then blame the nasty bits on the poor fallen angel who didn't stand a chance as god introduced 'sin ' to him anyway How do we know 'god' didn't engineer the whole thing, after all he's had plenty time to rectify the mess... and he still aint doing it folks.

Marriage Consummation - emailed question has me stumped
by jwfacts ini received an email from a jw that got married, but the wife never had sex with him.
they were together for a period of years.
he told the elders, but they said there was nothing that could be done.

perhaps the 'legal' marriage certificate should not be issued until proof of consummation has taken place. Now whos going to be "witness" to that... heh heh.

THANKS Adamah,..doesn't quite explain context of the scripture, which in biblical understanding terms is the crux of the matter .Im no hebrew scholar so i always stand to be corrected.

Adamah ..... the site i was researching made the point that 'elohim' in certain contexts was not always plural(i will check it again as its been a while).But in the context of "who among the sons of" would it not seem fitting the reference to el/elohim would be singular . Also if it referred to a counsel ' under ' yahweh why would it be comparing yahweh to the "sons of..".Just a thought .?

Original hebrew psalm 89:6 .,"Who among the sons of EL (top canaanite god)..is like yahweh." This sounds to me like pokytheism was still around..Modern translations of this scripture seem to deviate from the original hebrew?

Reminder: Hate speech on this forum is NOT tolerated
by Simon insome of the comments on the anthony morris topics have been despicable.. if someone is an idiot or a biggot then they are damaging themselves.. if 'we' start posting vile filth, insults and threats then it doesn't convince anyone other than we're probably as bad..

Talking with a nonbeliever...
by suavojr inin my search for the truth and the burning desire to become free from all forms of dogma and wishful thinking.
i have approached my first crossroads in my life, should i continue to believe in a god or not?.
currently i am leaning toward agnosticism, but all the suffering in the world, all the loss and pain in my own life makes it hard for me to simply let go of the idea and hope that at the end justice will prevail, that one day god can make it all good.. .

Seraph...Why would it take a near death experience to show something beyond?. Beyond what? If you mean beyond our limit of understanding what would give someone a near death experience. Are you saying its a sign from god, would that be the same god as you use as a label? Wouldn't you feel he/ she would be playing a mind game with that person. Perhaps you are hinting at another realm entirely?
I am however sympathetic to your slant on the limitations of our understanding / consciousness .Yes I have similar thoughts about that although if there are "things" beyond our understanding, then by its very question how will we ever know?.But I don't close my mind to the possibility as our brains by their physical makeup must have a limit. CouldIit be god on the one hand...Big bang/ black hole/ anti matter on the other.

...18and jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19"go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that i commanded you; and lo, i am with you always, even to the end of the age.. what are all of the things jesus commanded?.

Yes!! ? We can go well beyond what we have accomplished more quickly( solving the worlds problems ). But it is dragged to a snails pace because of the continuing belief om millions that god has the solution .Humans working together for mans benefit NOT GODS would accelerate the process .
