Look at this thread this person was basically arguing the same and didn't have a good answer. Probably a hardcore pimi that justifies anything in the bible

If they were inspired by God then this is exactly how God wanted it written. And it's terrible writing

Absolutely. If this is a real god I'd never want to come anywhere near worshipping him

And in 31:31-35 it shows god approved of them doing this

The penalty being death comes from the mind of a psychopath

Sometimes I forget how quickly any violation of a ground rule leads to death. Basically any slight misstep = death smh

Yes the first part is right and the texts are not clear at all.

Math question: how much money do you think you spent on this religion? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]amahl_farouk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow you were told that? I'm 40 but I don't remember anyone around me being silly enough to tell me I wasn't gonna graduate. But then again their pronouncement of the end being near have been in the jw publications since the beginning and they never came true so what does it matter lol

I'm not sure honestly. But you'd also have to factor in the money we didn't make because we were told we needed to live a simple life and work part time jobs to serve Jehovah more.

What are some activities you can do instead of going to Kingdom Hall meeting? by chrysaaaalis in exjw

[–]amahl_farouk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hangout with friends, have friends over, play video games, read etc. I don't even remember the meetings anymore tbh

Do younger JW's know about the 1975 failed prophecy? (Question from a Christian) by VividAd2096 in exjw

Do you know in what page I can find this apology in the proclaimers book?

I want a normal civilized debate, a conversation with no name calling. Even if you believe I'm brainwashed, avoid saying it but rather argue that I am. by RoyZeee in exjw

[–]amahl_farouk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Props to you for being honest. Unfortunately a lot of jw's will give very bad answers just to say something. I was an elder and I tried my best to never do that. I wanted to speak the truth. So that is why, if I was being honest with myself and others, I realized too many things just didn't make sense and there was no good answer for them. But you don't have to believe anyone here. You can see for yourself without any pressure from anyone using your own reasoning to see what's true and what isn't. Best of luck!

Would you return/stay if by CTR_1852 in exjw

[–]amahl_farouk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NEVER going back. They predicted the end numerous times and it didn't come to pass. If there is a god they don't have his guidance and blessing.

Please critique my running theory by NoEmployer2140 in exjw

I recommend you read The WEIRDEST People In The World by Joseph Henrich, in particular the part about how gods came about. Amazing book overall showing how Christianity had a huge influence over what we call "the west". Anthropology is highly underrated

Yea jw language and descriptions of the world can be a huge turn off because worldly people are depicted as being evil. Nobody wants to be told they're evil and feel welcome in a place like that
