A Christian question, but applies to all thinking Christian too!

no longer being a christian, it has become a mind opening experience to look back and see certian things i once ignored or just brushed off.

yet now i can not help but see these things and wonder why other christians do not.. if you have ever studied greek, roman or any other cultures religions in history.

then you have no doubt read their legends, about gods and how things came to be, and no doubt you have enjoyed these and at the same time you must have wondered how people actually bought this enough to make it a religion.

Source of Flood Waters

by VM44 in

i do not have access right now to the watchtower cd library, could someone check and tell me what the watchotwer now says is the source for the great flood waters?.

do they still believe the theory of isaac vail that the waters came from above and that there was a water canopy in orbit about the earth?

or does the watchtower now say that the canopy was a vapor layer, not in orbit, but a simply above the atmosphere?.

The one I saw not only 'proved' the water canopy but showed how the fissures under the oceans were made from waters sprouting forth.

A few years ago my relatives were around and showed the family a video showing how the flood happend. It was done by some professor. Quite entertaining from me which lead us into a BIG argument.

Does anyone know about this video.

Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?

by Little Bo Peep in

hello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.

i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.

i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

please contribute to this thread any way you wish to.

Dictionary.com: parodies, Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery; a travesty

Someone started a clock and dagger racist thread. Now we have min posing as an aggresive inquisitor, and another thread on an anti-reptilian movement.
