Yeah, the anticipation of what you may discover is just as thrilling. Also, the story behind the item, how did it get there who was the last person holding it etc? The thought that stuff we lose now could be found in the future - so cool.

Dirt Fishing - Latest Coin Finds
by cofty init's that time of year again when i can get back on the fields with the metal detector looking for ancient stuff.
the first field to be harvested was full of peas - ideal as it leaves no stubble and it's a two minute walk from my house.
it has given up two coins in two visits this week.. the first one is a cut-half silver penny from the reign of henry ii.

Why go back to the Old Testament?
by Lost in the fog inwhy do jws insist on still quoting from the old testament to back up some of their wacky ideas?
such as on blood, beards, abortion, tattoos, etc.
surely if the mosaic law code was nailed to the torture stake all of its parts were cancelled.

JWs believe they are the spiritual jews and the jews of old were the original JWs, they believe they have more in common with the old testament and all their boys like Moses, David, Solomon, Abe etc.

Wow you've all given this some thought, I'm impressed (and slightly surprised I normally don't get many replies)!
Well done class, we'd make a fantastic think tank for WT cept for they hate us and don't appreciate our efforts 😣😢

A Fantasy I Have To Protest Cart Witnessing

Welcome gabcol, so nice to hear another person is free. It sounds like you've been through the wringer several times over and as Elton John would say "still standin." Good onya mate.
