  Brooklyn's dinosaur

  by Nathan Natas in

  2. friends

  those of us who grew up with the nwt in our little hands probably remember this little guy - he might be a mascot of our generation, might he not?.

  for those unfamiliar with him, he graced the inside end sheets of the new world translation - the infamous green version - and was placed squarely in the center of what is now the sahara desert, i believe.. for decades, of course, i saw him, looked at him, thought "generic dinosaur.

  " then i began wondering - was he just a generic dinosaur?

  Nathan: ..."All About Dinosaurs" (1953) by Roy Chapman Andrews. More than any other single individual, Roy Chapman Andrews was the real person upon whom the character Indiana Jones was based. He explored the world and he revealed the truth of the rocks, and went on to become Director of the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan.

  *wow...a 10 year old thread has been resurrected...the GT must be upon us...

  
  

  About the individual that the character Indiana Jones was based upon...

  Another person that was significant in the character development of Indiana Jones was Frederick Courteney Selous.

  Selous was quoted by the WTS in the Feb 8, 1957 Awake! article Geology, the Bible and the Flood in support of their Canopy Theory.

  Nathan, your theory that the dinosaur was 'plagiarized' from another source is sound. At the time that the WTS compiled their version of the green dinosaur bibble, they were also neck deep in the water canopy myth. The connections are there to assume that the green bibble dino also appeared in books relevant to such people as Selous and Andrews

  Question for science geeks

  by rebelfighter in

  do any of you know anything about prescription medications and their reactions?

  the doctors cannot explain why but i react to everything they prescribe to the point that now all my doctors are attempting neutral remedies before medication.

  tomorrow i am having surgery to drill a hole in my head to put in a titanium rod and we are doing local instead of general simply because it lessens the amount of needed drugs.

  Rebelfighter, I am not sure what your question is.

  However, from your description of how you react to pharmaceuticals, you may have a hyper-sensitive immune system

  I (and my daughter) have problems with reactions to certain classes of drugs

  Have you ever undertaken a series of tests to determine if you have sensitivities to certain substances? An allergy assessment? You may get some clues from taking those tests, if you haven't already. For example, my daughter tested positive for mold allergies and she cannot take penicillin without a reaction

  Toesup: The GB need to stop placing a halo over the elders heads. The written material giving these guys a glorified presence. Examples are, stars, loving shepherds, a port in a storm.

  Yeah...it depends on which 'written material' it is, that is actually read. The elders are given the title of "fund raising chairman" on tax returns

  Why are the atheists on this site so hateful?

  by HopeEverLasting in

  all us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.

  we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.

  but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.

  DJS: I think I'm in love

  Be careful

  Ya wouldn't want emotion to get in the way of making rational decisions

  crazy: Speedybrother, when one confesses or is caught strait away the brother usually do a decent job except calling the police

  No they don't

  They tell the victim to "put your tears in a skin bottle"

  That is not doing a decent job. That is pure, unadulterated nonsense and it is harmful, not helpful

  snugglebunny: Why is it that persons are branded as being full of hate when they simply find something not to their liking?

  It is a way to shift blame onto others. It is victim behavior. They are so used to being a victim - it is their comfort zone - when they perceive someone is threatening them, they immediately victimize themselves, placing themselves back into that comfort zone that feels so good to them.

  Certain theists (not all of them) have such a strong emotional attachment to their chosen god that they attempt to rationalize that attachment and claim that their emotional choice is not an emotional one at all. They want others to believe that their choice is a good one and based upon rational thinking. They need emotional confirmation that their emotional choice is valid

  The problem arises because belief is emotional and not believing is rational. Apples and oranges

  Evolution has nothing at all to do with emotion and everything to do with rational thinking. Belief has everything to do with emotion and nothing at all to do with rationality

  So the 'war' is not between 'god' and 'evolution' - it is between emotion and rationality. Apples and oranges

  The 'hateful' position belongs to the emotional position - the theists. The ones whose comfort zone is defined by emotional decisions, not rational ones

  There is science that prove God exists

  by HopeEverLasting in

  2. friends

  jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.

  there is another mode for how he exists.

  now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.

  I am not hateful

  Hate would imply that I care about your feelings

  That is interesting, rebelfighter

  It appears like the laws concerning sex offenders going door to door are being put in place in more and more places.

  Lol! That could very well be an influencing factor in the recent change to cart witnessing instead of door to door work. The JW prison program, AKA the Pedophile Paradise Rehabilitation Program, has been very effective and now those sex offenders that have been having Bible Studies in jail are getting released. There are too many sex offenders in the JW workforce that are restricted from going door to door and the carts let the sex offenders still put in their time
