  @K

  Two wrongs don't make a right and if the vids are breaking the law as wt believes, wt should be allowed to protect its interests just as anybody else. Look at how long the vids have been on YouTube. If it was some small time potato or somebody else being infringed upon, such would have sued for money.

  just thought i'd start a thread about favourite movies.

  mine, in no particular order, are .... alien - a great visual film.

  the chest-bursting scene is still great to watch, no matter how many times i've seen the movie.

  Jesus clearly described the consequences of practicing sin -fiery Gehenna. But if you don't believe in the Bible, you don't have to worry about that for now.

  JW have their good reasons for getting angry with WT for a lot of different reasons; some leave and some stay but that is not a justification for getting involved in sinful conduct such as adultery or stealing or other conduct that harms others or yourself which is a downward spiral that will suck you in to disaster. "The fool has said in his heart, there is no Jehovah."

  The "circle" of the earth

  by stillin in

  2. beliefs

  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.

  There is a difference between standing on a circle and balancing a convex surface below your feet.'dropping away over the horizon to your antipodes.

  That is how you view it. The verse is not describing the earth in relation to man but to God. A sphere is a circle no matter how you view it. What you describe is the flat surface of a 3D disc which looks circular depending on your view. It is not a circle in every direction unlike the earth.

  The verse says nothing about the earth being a flat disc. The verse only describes the earth as a circle -or a sphere according to wt.

  Re: Is 40:22 I can only comment on what the verse says and not on what it does not say or should say. The verse says that the earth is round. It does not say that the earth is flat.

  So the writer of Isaiah 40:22 was an astronaut.

  no, but according to the Bible, God is the author of the book.

  Anyway, according to wt, the verse actually says compass ( tool to make circles ) and translated circle by wt. - Look up yourself the verse in the latest NWT and references.

  In prov 8:27 the NWT translates the word circle as horizon.

  The author is dwelling above the the circle of the earth -according to the bible. The astronauts looking at the earth from the moon confirmed the authors point of view. The latest revision of the NWT now equates the word sphere to circle in the related verse. It also references Is 66:1. The wt says that the bible is actually saying sphere in the related verse. So that's that.

  dimensions does a circle have? (Isaiah 40:22)

  The verse does not say that the earth is not a sphere and it does not say that the earth is not 3 dimensional. The verse is not incorrect to refer to the earth as a circle. From the earth, the moon looks like a circle. And so does the earth looking from the moon or from above the earth or from any angle or direction - same as the verse describes it without giving the 3 dimensional detail. The eye is not incorrect when it sees the moon as a circle from any perspective when it is actually 3 dimensional and the verse is not incorrect when it refers to the circle of the earth from the point of view of the author of the related verse.
