    Me: "Well, then why didn't Jehovah destroy Noah and his family and leave the other millions and millions of people alive who believed differently than Noah did? Wasn't that proof that those other 8 guys were all wrong, then?"

    Uh,ok. Apparently I'm the only one who don't understand this argument so I'm going to request you explain this statement because I don't get it.

    When I get a new book or magazine I immediately throw it in trash. Why bother read it? it will be old light sooner or later.

    An example many believers and non-believers might come together on: the top
    100 album chart. I've known since I was a little boy I didn't want to love
    music or not love music based on those numbers. I always loved a little of a
    variety of styles, and popular and unpopular. And I knew that that some people
    will overdo rationalizing a 'centric stance for any of those branches and try to
    be final arbiters of taste.

    My wife brought this numbers argument as proof recently. I reminded her that they are merging congragations locally so there isn't so much of a blessing after all
