  A Country where no-one under 25 believes the biblical creation story.

  no icelanders under the age of 25 believe the creation story that god was responsible for creating the universe, a new poll claims.the poll, commissioned by the icelandic ethical humanist association, claims that 93.9 per cent in the under 25 category responded that the universe was created by the big bang.

  just over 6 per cent responded with ‘don’t know’ or ‘other’.

  none of the respondents, however, believed that the universe had been created by god.

  "...there is a Congregation where seven women partake of the emblems."

  Perhaps they're a clique which do things together. Wouldn't it be nice if every congregation had such a group?

  "Crises of Conscience"

  by Olivia Wilde in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i just finished reading chapters 11-12 of raymond franz, crises of conscience & i must admit, i am pretty strong person, however the way ed dunlap & ray franz were treated left me crying, i had tears rolling done my eyes driving home from work on friday... & how ed was kicked out by wt, left me feel soo disgusted & outraged.... it was very obvious he needed to stay at bethel because of his age & medical conditions but i admired he didn't compromise his conscious, it's sickening to me how cold & callous these men can treat a christian after all his service.... & of course ray franz situation was no exception either, the witch hunt they did to get him out was, well, there's just isnt enough adjectives to describe their disgusting motives against him... he was 59 yrs old trying to make a honest living with his wife & for them to go after him was devious & demon like.... i'm soo grateful i came across this book & i wished i had much much sooner.... i know god will reward both ed dunlap & franz plus many many more who have been unjustly & unchristian like treated during that time & this time, sooo sickening.....i still feel very much upset & emotional over the whole thing .... i never met any of them & then yet i feel deep christian love for them......

  I knew it wasn't a legit story when I came to the realization that JWs don't care enough about their religion to get into a physical fight with anyone.

  Question about the number 2,520 and the book “New Heavens and a New Earth” (1953)

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  question about the number 2,520 and the book “new heavens and a new earth” (1953).

  there is a footnote on page 138 of this book; it has to do with the number 2,520 being a perfect number and the result of multiplying the four perfect numbers in sequence.

  i have done the math and it works.

  I do vaguely recall, in the 1970s, the elder who conducted my study saying something similar about those numbers.

  Three was the number of emphasis; seven the number of heavenly perfection; ten the number of earthly completeness and twelve the number of the tribes of Israel.

  What I wonder is where he was while dead. Jehovah's Witnesses say that he was nonexistent but those who believe in immortality of soul have to explain where Jesus' immortal soul was when he died.

  Perry, are you there?
