Great links and information on the bristlecone pines. As a side note/line of reasoning, its not entirely logical to suggest "oh there are no redwoods older than the flood ergo the flood happened". One would also need to reason on how they restablished after the flood. A catrophy of that magnitude , covering the globe for a year, would have killed any viable seedstock, being soaked that long with no sun light. If you want to play the half assed logic card at least play it all the way through.

Can the Redwoods Date the Flood?
by Seven inscience, biblical and anti-biblical, recognizes that there was a period of time in the distant past when the earth was barren.
how long ago and how long it lasted is a matter of conjecture...unless one accepts the biblical record.
but out in california, almost as far west as one can go, there stand beautiful monuments to the past-the redwoods: monuments that were seedlings when noah was laid to rest; saplings when the tower of babylon was deserted; stalwart young giants when david downed his giant.

Although i dont have a specific quote to support that the premise is implied in dubbie doctrine. When a member of the 144,000 dies they are, in this the lords day, resurected immediatly to heavenly life. Once resurected they are said to sit at jesus right hand. Since he is directing the work they are assisting him and thus directing from beyond the grave... -

Interesting statement made by CO. Is this new?
by stillin inin his first talk of the week the co mentioned that people don't get df'd for joining the military or registering to vote because they are already gone, as compared with smoking secretly, which would merit df'ing.. i have been toying around with registering to vote in the next election (us) so this intrigues me..

We had a case locally (USA) where some dumb a$$ elders tried to df a young man for joining the military. The branch wrote back and demanded they resind his df'ing and destroy ANY record of his being df'd "for that reason". They also noted that if he had committed some sin as defined in the ks book that, of course, he could be df'd for that...
As others have noted, taking a "nonnetural" stance is a DA situation, not a DF, wink wink.

What happens within the JW organisation?
by Sir cid fatos inhey guys.
i don't know if you guys all know (depends how big this website is) that i have some jw friends.
i'm interested in their belief (luckily no desire to belief it :p) because it's kind of a mystery what really happens in a jw organisation.

Lol double speak at its finest. If someone is disfellowshipped, for any reason, current org policy is to shun them, period.
