the flood, mammoths, elphants, and food.

by Crazyguy in

my question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.

also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .

It's like sticking your hand in between a hungry lion and a steak and wondering why your hand is missing.

butmy right side of the brain is under- trained, I find it awkward to hammer in a nail swinging the hammer left handed.

Likely because you're right handed

Observations from a day at the zoo

by Simon in

so we went to calgary zoo today and i'm torn between zoo's being great for conservation vs using animals to make money.

i think on the whole they are a good thing but it's sad to see some of the animals caged up - somehow i always end up staring into the eyes of a gorilla and it makes me sad.. but that isn't what struck me ... it's these things:.

You can't deny the little guys the chance to see live wild animals up close. Zoos are more and more performing a conservation role which is good, but as with Simon, I leave a zoo visit in a sad frame of mind.

Agreed.

I recall when it was exciting to visit the zoo and see what I only saw pictures of or read about. I remember some images well and with a smile.

Later, I saw animals that were bored and institutionalized, not "born free" as it were, and it seemed a lesser tragedy.

One of life's many paradoxes.

A point if you will; reading peoples opinions/beliefs doesn't entail you to believe their viewpoint. It's your choice to read and take offense, to give it credit and engage. If you take offense at every belief/opinion that opposes yours, you'll never be at peace cos there'll always be another opinion. And of course this is only my opinion, take or leave it; I don't really care ;)

As for Plato, some interesting classical philosophy but much has been learned since then

Stay Alive till '75

"stay alive till '75.

" remember that?

note: this is the year 5774 not 2014. why didn't they tell you that in 5735 (1975 ad?

Twitch

Man, that is some funny shite. So out of the box there isn't a box to be seen. This kind of belief isn't due to drugs (and I should know) this takes work and dedication. Kudos to you John for the craziest theory I've read here in a long time.

But seriously, get some help.

Let us be thankful to JWs! (September 21 is World Gratitude Day)

by Pinku in

let us be thankful to jws for having resisted our free-thinking.

what is resisted persists and becomes even stronger.

i pray that jws continue this habit of theirs with more vigor so that more and more free-thinkers come out!.

How Often Do You Come To JWN? How Often Do You Post?

by minimus in

jw
friends

do you check this site, daily?.

do you post very much?.

.

Twitch

Yea I check the site daily, mostly for general interest topics but I don't post as much as I used to. I've pretty much resolved the god question for myself and have no interest in current org doctrines or biblical research and interpretation.

I do like reading people's experiences with respect to "waking up"

I sometimes like playing "whack-a-troll". A guilty little pleasure from time to time ;)
