  Incidentally, Simon, I was wondering why I can't see this thread on the main page - thought maybe the explosions'd taken out a server somewhere

  There's one or two particularly whacked-out dubs I know who'll be frothing at the mouth right now

  Crumpet - don't mean to be a pedantic arse, but they've been holding DCs at an indoor arena up in Newcastle for the past couple of years (my bro & mother go there) - where, incidentally, they were all melting/suffocating (babies, old folks and all) in the unseasonal (especially for Newcastle) heat this year because having the AC on supposedly costs £1400 a day extra (works out to about 0.60 per attender per day) - my bro ended up listening outside in his car (where he could safely take his tie off )
  

  I somehow get the suspicion they'd have found the money if one of the GB was in attendance.

  Evidence for the Exodus?

  by Cardinal Fang in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one for the historians here...

  was round visiting my jw mother and bro (who stays with my folks when he's in the area working) the other night.

  the conversation swung round to a documentary they'd been watching on video earlier that evening, supposedly putting forward all sorts of archaeological evidence for the exodus, including coral-encrusted remains of chariots at the bottom of the red sea, no less.

  Thanks for that video still, Tetrapod - looks exactly like what my brother was describing - a shiny wheel that didn't have coral growing on it cuz of how the metal had been treated - he couldn't remember the name of the process involved - electroplating Egyptians? Oy!

  Just goes to show that the credulous* (and the dubs are more credulous than the average) will leap on any spurious/junk science that appears to back up their belief system (while disregarding any conflicting evidence of course - see above).

  *As a side note, after seeing a previous goofball 'documentary', my bro (God love him) believes in the existence of the 'Bohemian Grove' and Molech the 60-foot owl god (I've seen the net footage, and IMHO it looks like the work of a bunch of drunken fratboys, but what do I know? )

  (All the while, I'm studiedly saying nothing and experiencing that low-level gut discomfort I always get whenever my family start talking JW stuff when I'm around - maybe it's because deep down I know it's da troof )

  I can't help thinking that if all this was legit (esp the chariots) it'd be all over the news, but it's the first I've heard of it (seashells up mountains as proof of the Flood, anyone?). Just wondered if anybody else'd come across this documentary my folks were going on about, or anything that sounds like it.

  PS. I also avoided mentioning the heaps of legitimate, documented evidence that blows 607 out of the water

  I had been out of the JWs for a couple of years at the time of 9/11, and though I did have momentary thoughts of 'Armagideon Time' when it happened, I was able to check myself by remembering that I thought it was 'peace and security' when the Berlin Wall came down, twelve years before that.

  (and the 1986 UN 'Year of Peace', and the first Gulf War, and......)

  Kill the Kid, Now That's Justice! (WT 5/15/05 QFR)

  by ezekiel3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this in it's entirety from the watchtower may 15, 2005, page 31. you might find the reasoning a bit hollow.

  questions from readers.

  why were david and bath-sheba not put to death for committing adultery, whereas their newborn son died?.

  So let me get this straight:... in either scenario the baby would be screwed, but it's more 'just' that an innocent child dies alone than along with the 'guilty parties'... 'perfect is his way' indeed

  This from the people who condemn abortion, but who consider it 'God's will' that an unborn child should face death along with its mother for want of a blood transfusion (I know - I was that foetus )

  WHAT'S THE WORST JOB YOU EVER HAD?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the worst one i ever had was working in a frozen chicken factory.

  there were about 30 of us in a freezing cold room and my shit job was to feel the half-frozen chicken breasts up, to see if there were any little bones in them.

  well after the first 5 minutes my frigging fingers were frozen stiff, so i couldn't tell if there were any bones in there or not........after 20 minutes it felt like my hands were having an out of body experience and if they weren't in front of my frozen face, i would've thought they had dropped off.
