Is there anthropological evidence proving the Nephilim's existence?

by truthseeker in

i've had this question is my mind for a while now, but has there been any skeletal remains discovered that could prove the existence of the nephilim?.

there's so many unanswered questions about these giants - first of all, were they really hybrids?.

secondly, if the demons could materialise and procreate, how do we not know that they gave their children the same reproductive powers?.

I quit!

There is as much truth to the stories of the Nephilim as there are in the stories of dwarves, elves and dragons.

Maybe Dwarves are very short Nephilim.

It isn't nice to refer to someone as a bastard. They are "of the illegitimate class".

From the Cannyfest: Can you rank the JW labels?

by ozziepost in

one "keynote" topic at the cannyfest was the matter of all those labels that the wts uses.

of course, they try to sidestep the issue by accusing the churches of having titles yet in reality they have far more distinguishing labels.

well at the cannyfest we tried to list all the labels the wts uses to keep the r&f in order.

The story of my life (part 9- 1975: the date comes)

by onacruse in

how often does it happen that we can be asked, rather like on the witness chair in a trial: "what exactly were you doing on the night of xx-xx-xxxx 30 years ago?

" and actually be able to answer that question?

i know exactly what i was doing during the evening of september 30, 1975: i was fervently praying to jehovah that i would be found worthy, in spite of all my weaknesses and failures, to find his favor and live through the next day, the day that armageddon was happening.

I quit!

Over the next few years, however, I met many, many JWs who had made serious long-range decisions in the years leading up to 1975 -- not getting their kids teeth fixed, quitting their jobs to pioneer "where the need was great," going into massive debt, selling their homes, etc. Many of these actions, which seem bizarre now, were actually sanctioned by the WTS in the early 1970s, both verbally and in print.

This is similar to what I remember of that time period. I remember lots of witnesses selling their homes to move where "the need was great". It was usually some place they wanted to live but saying they were moving to "where the need was great'' just made is sound more theo. A lot of them move back into the area (So. Cal) after several years but couldn't afford to buy again as the prices went way up and they had spent whatever money they had made off of the sale of the property. If they had kept their houses they would be paid off by now and worth between 500k and one million dollars.

I also remember there was sense of urgency in field service around that time. There were special tracts to hand out. We weren't supposed to spend much time talking to the house holder because the time was short and the important message had to reach everyone. I don't even remember what the silly things were about but apparently everyone needed to have one. It's funny because when I have mentioned this witnesses online they deny that this ever happened and have accused me of lying about it. Big Brother has erased the memory.

Halloween

i'm excited this year about halloween!

in the years past i've decorated my front door so it would look inviting for the trick-or-treaters to come to but never got really involved beyond handing out candy.

last year i had totally forgotten about it we were moving so i ran out and got some candy and put up a door decoration, left the porch light on and no one came!!!

I quit!

I will do the what I always do. Hand out candy and watch TV. I used to live in a neighborhood that really got into it but the one I live in now doesn't really do anything for Halloween.

I aways had a lot of fun when I was a kid on Halloween, but then again I wasn't raised as JW.
