  The "circle" of the earth

  by stillin in

  a fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.

  this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.

  from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.

  "Proof ...."

  Wanton ???

  Even back then they knew N, S, E, W. ( 4 corners.)

  Psalms 78: 26 He stirred up the east wind in the heavens And made a south wind blow by his power.

  Rev 7: 1 After this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding tight the four winds of the earth, so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.

  Rev 20:9 And they advanced over the whole earth and encircled*the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city...

  * compare with four corners.

  Fisherman, the sun moves in response to the Earth's gravity around a common bari center, and the sun does move in response to every other planet, that is one way astronomers are detecting the hundreds of exoplanets, by the wobble of their suns.

  Waton, very interesting and informative to read! Thanks.

  Since you don't see what I am saying, let me put it to you this way: The sun does not actually rise and sets in relation to the earth.

  the "circle" of the earth.

  Depends on the perspective or point of view; the sun does not move in relation to the earth either.

  Is there a Creator who gives a s*** about you?

  by DATA-DOG in

  ....why your child died, or you have cancer, or lost friends to a mudslide, tsunami, car accident, flood, tornado, hurricane or senseless act of violence.

  why your child was molested, or you were molested, or you were slandered by an elder, or boe, or the gb.

  why children die of starvation everyday, why faithful xians die every day, some mauled by dogs in field circus.

  As a JW how would you answer this if someone brought it up in the ministry?

  by NikL in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as a jw i pretty much just went along with what was taught from the platform i didn't do any real bible study.

  as a result, now that i am out of the org.

  i find scriptures that blow my mind.. i am not sure how i would have reacted if someone had pointed this out to me when i was a jw but now i can't believe i've never noticed this before.

  @Anthony Mous: "Today, the background radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is the same as the average amount of natural radiation present anywhere on Earth. It is not enough to affect human health.” Part of the answer is that these bombs exploded high up in the air and all the radioactive material blew or rained away... somewhere."

  Chernobyl will remain contaminated for hundreds of thousands of years. But if I was president of China, I would not want to risk the remotest test that could make me sick.

  China..... -Morpheus

  Very persuasive, It makes logical sense, sold on everything you wrote referenced above. But at the same time, I don't know with certainty to what extent China governs KJU because there are some loose ends and I am looking at things from the perspective that KJU is not a protectorate 100% of China (insidiously).

  So let's see: The brilliant KJU had some thought provoking choices to make: Face the American hangman someday like Saddam or risk radiation contamination from underground nuclear tests. Hmmmmmm?
