  by James Mixon in

  when you stood there in front of that dinosaur display did you connect the.

  dots, or did you like me believe that they made a mistake in calculating their.

  ages.

  I never saw a dino at the British Museum , it is full of human history. Congs would arrange visits & there was a group of pioneers who (I think counted their time) and took parties round .. The museum descriptions say that Jerusalem fell in 587 BCE , the guide said 607 BCE . I totally believed our guide and marvelled how "the world" could be so wrong so often......

  I went on those tours a few times when I was young. I used to be really excited about going... because there was an amazing comic book shop over the road from the museum entrance. Actually, now I come to think about it, going to Cardiff Assembly was exciting because there was a Forbidden Planet comic store just round the corner from the stadium! Since leaving the JW's I haven't been in a Comic book store, but there's the internet and Amazon now of course!

  Side ads are hijacking this site!

  by WingCommander in

  2. suggestions

  to jw admin:.

  for about a week now, i've noticed that whatever ads you are allowing on this site are basically "hijacking" any attempt to read threads.

  well, the side "ad" thing plays video advertisements, but that's not the problem.

  Not quite the same but I just had an advert for Asian Women "pop out". Which was a bit awkward as I'm at work!

  so i'm catching up on r rated movies that i missed when i was younger.

  "they live!

  " was on the el rey network the other day so decided to watch it.. it was kind of eerie watching this being a fader.. here's a guy living under a controlling regime of elites and only he can see the control measures for what they are.

  All Seeing Eye on WBTS Video!

  by Alan Forbes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was on the jw.org website today and decided to watch a video entitled 'respect jehovah's authority'.

  to my surprise approximately 3mins 25secs into the video, as the opening title began to fade, a symbol of the all seeing eye (eye of horus) appeared on the screen.

  the scene was not set in egypt, but in a hebrew tent in the wilderness where praise was being sung to jehovah!!

  Christians are saying, 'In the beginning, God..." Atheists are saying "So where did God come from?".

  Blah blah blah.

  I have an Atheist miracle: My baby is going to be born in a couple of months, dog willing!

  "Montgomery was given a chance to address the court but chose not to."

  I think that if the son was making it all up the mother would have something to say about her innocence.

  I dunno... seems legit.

  "A few of my JW relatives and friends too had thawed and were on civil if not friendly terms."

  Wait, no, it's a scam.

  apparently it was announced last night.

  i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.

  i understand it is due to my apostate book.
