  Didn't people run in those days? Just think 26 miles under 3 hrs ( 2 hrs 11min). OK if moses had sent out

  a few runners ahead of of the crowd to scout for water, a nice place to rest it would have been a nice and

  quick trip. And 26 miles in under 3 hrs, hell 26 miles in 10 days they would damn near be at the

  borders of the promise land. The women are runner under 3 hrs.

  I guess the Israelites didn't participate in sports, no Olympian in the group.

  Anyway have a nice Valentine day, you will not go to hell if you buy a box of sweets for your love one. LOL

  I just want to make mention about marathons and the JW logic. JW's always use the logic about endurance and comparing a marathon runner to us living in ''times of the end''. Well, this is where I draw the line. A marathon runner knows where the ''Finish line'' is and can endure. JW's have no clue as to when the ''end'' is, even if there is one. That's where I draw the line with that ridiculous illustration!!! Just wanted to throw that out there.
