  meet papias.

  if you had lived in the time of the living apostles of jesus would you have personally investigated stories about.

  or, would you simply read whatever was written instead?.

  Build the Ark

  ken ham is trying to build an ark amusement park in kentucky.

  i actually want him to build a real ark, or at least have a self contained floating zoo because this one act can show how ridiculous this story in the bible truly is.. lets make this simple.

  1000 pairs of animals on one boat including provisions.

  today i called to my sister and she told me that two elders went to her house to announce her that a judicial committe is waiting her in the kingdom hall this friday.

  she told them that she will confirm if she will go.

  however, i have told her that she shouldn't go, instead she should ask them to write a formal letter, with signatures, asking her for which charges she should be submitted in a private room with two men (or three?

  The therapist ploy that millie210 suggested sounds great but I doubt it would be worth the cost of a therapist. Keep in mind that she will be tried in absentia - as I was - so whatever you do, do it fast.

  Inherit the wind

  has anyone seen the movie inherit the wind?

  i just got done watching the 1999 remake of the original 1960.. it's about two lawyers arguing in court about the guilt or innocence of a school teacher, teaching evolution.. it's about as pertinent today as it was in 1999 or 1960. it's really a good movie.

  I also saw the original but I learned afterwards that the ending was very different in real life. Excellent movie nonetheless.

  being that this is not "ex jws" and in fact, more driven by atheists talking a bunch of crap, im not even going to address you people like you know anything about jws because you dont.

  nor am i going to assume you know the bible because none of you do.. and yes, im speaking down at you all because you men have actually went out your way to make a site to speak down at an entire group of people.

  yet i bet you cant even handle a single uswer talking down at you, like you talk down about jws can you?.

  this weeks assigned bible reading is judges 1-4. i have never noticed judges 1:19 before which reads in the nwt as:.

  jehovah was with judah, and they took possession of the mountainous region, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain,* because they had war chariots with iron scythes.

  Jonathan Drake: "They lost faith in the face of such an enemy and failed to drive them out."

  Read the Scripture carefully:

  19 The Lord was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron. Judges 1:19 New International Version 

  If the Lord was with them then that means that they had faith at that point in time, thus he should have accomplished the deed. There is nothing in this scripture that says they lost faith at that particular moment.
