  Yellowstone going to blow?

  by Pleasuredome in

  there's a rumour going around that the volcanic bubble under yellowstone's basin has raised over 100 feet in the past day and there are indications it is ready to blow.

  this might go on the news as an official anouncement later today.

  does anyone live near yellowstone?

  I read about this awile ago. Do you have a link that is recent about this activity?

  From what I remember, yellowstone is a caldera -

  Etymology: Spanish, literally, caldron, from Late Latin caldaria -- more at CAULDRON
  : a volcanic crater that has a diameter many times that of the vent and is formed by collapse of the central part of a volcano or by explosions of extraordinary violence

  They can be very nasty and cause as much global damage as a good sized meteor. Fortunately they happen on the same time scale or meteor impacts, not very often and not likely in a human lifetime. The latest eruption, 600,000 years a go, spewed out nearly 240 cubic miles of debris.

  You can read briefly about the yellowstone caldera here : http://www.yellowstonetreasures.com/nugget16.htm

  or in depth here, the eruptive history is interesting. http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/Yellowstone/description_yellowstone.html

  Why is the religious right in bed with Israel?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it always seems strange to me that the religious right in america and elsewhere is so 'in bed' with israel.. if you look at the history and beliefs, surely christianity has more in common with muslims who believe in christ (as a prophet) then in judaism which was the very religion that christ was rejecting and was killed by!.

  surely for christians, the jews were "the bad guys" having rejected the messiah and forfeiting their position as gods chosen people?.

  so why the support?

  On a statistical basis, the religiosity of some American's beliefs makes them indistinguishable from people in countries such as Nigeria or Pakistan.

  So, the religious right in the USA are in bed with Israel because they are a bunch of fanatical nut-jobs.

  I agree and think we should ship those in the religious right to live with their brethren in Nigeria and Pakistan.

  Heya Vivamus,

  I smoked two packs a day for a couple years and then quit cold turkey several years ago. I was really pissed and irratable, moreso than usual. I felt really crapy. The thing that helped me was mountain biking, it took some effort to get motivated to go, but once I got up there in the clear air, it was awesome. I think any type of fun exercise would make your spirits feel better. Or maybe even sexercise.

  If that doesn't work, have you considered the patch or nicotine gum? ramp off slowly on those things perhaps?

  ok, this is kind of a silly thread... but... since i haven't seen any really recent "post your photo" threads, i'll start one.

  you know how it goes... post a recent picture of yourself - don't be fooled by the topic title, lol... it doesn't have to be ugly.

  ok, me first... ugly mugshots are easy for me to take being that i am just utterly hideous.

  Moses did not write Pentatuch

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i realize that most of us have neither the time nor interest for complex arguments about the bible.

  so lets us this thread for posting examples of anachronisms obvious to anyone reading with an eye to see them.

  i'll start with some rather glaring statements in the pentatuch that preclude moses as the author as is claimed by jew and xtian alike.

  I read a great book on this subject and quite a bit more. It discusses a lot of interesting questions that have been brought up over the years, like why do some stories contradict each other after a sentance or two. It goes into the political motivation that inspired the writing of certain stories, the infighting between the different tribes and groups of priests and how it all got combined into one big hodge-podge patchwork quilt. If memory serves, genesis alone was 5 versions of a story written centuries apart and combined in josiah's time. Some one can correct me on those facts or just read the book. The book was "Who wrote the Bible?" by Richard Elliott Friedman

  He also wrote another book called "The hidden book of the bible" another one I recommend.

  by Carmel in

  2. bible

  so much has been written and spoken about chronology regarding the "end times" and/or the "return".

  why is there so little attentioned paid to the criteria for "his return" and where he will come from?

  headline: jan 18, 2001. bush: 'our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over'.

  washington, dc?mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of bill clinton, president-elect george w. bush assured the nation in a televised address tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.

  "my fellow americans," bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in american history that will come to be known as the clinton era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas.

  Damn the people at the Onion are prophets... Does the WTS know about this? Maybe Abraham was reborn and now writes for the Onion.

  Great article.
