there are so many false religions around today that it is astounding.
if a person does not have a strong bond with god it is easy to fall prey to the devil's deceitful plans.

How would you build a World from scratch?
by edmond dantes inhave you ever done diy or made something from scratch and stepped back and thought something isn't quite right ,it just doesn't look right ,it doesn't work as it should and it takes days before you figure what's wrong?
well that's how i view the concept of god as the creator.nothing adds up , the proposition just doesn't look right.maybe the stories in the bible looked right when they were first written and people accepted the bible's statements at face value, but the longer i live the more sure i am that the concept of an almighty creator as expounded in the bible just doesn't add up,it doesn't look right.there must be another explanation waiting to be discovered.. with all this in mind let us imagine what really happened right at the very beginning but try to make it logical if it is at all possible.how would you go about creating a world like ours ?

No Global Warming as Temperatures Drop
by What-A-Coincidence inhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7329799.stm.
short version: global temperatures will drop slightly this year as a result of the cooling effect of the la nina current in the pacific, un meteorologists have said.
the world meteorological organizations secretary-general, michel jarraud, told the bbc it was likely that la nina would continue into the summer.. this would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.. but experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.. the wmo points out that the decade from 1998 to 2007 was the warmest on record.

Wha Happened got it right! One has to establish the limits of the box (i.e. criteria) before one can engage in such a discussion. I would want to establish how one authenticates a claim even if limited to bilblical criteria before going further. Then again if the JW is willing to consider a broader paradigm then we just might have a fruitful conversation...I'd be happy to introduce him/her to a bigger sand box to play in! carmel

Why don't Elders who are sick and elderly ever step down?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inin my 35 years as a witness,there have been many elders in my congregation who were old,sick,tired,weak,and could hardly walk.
they had a hard time reading the material,couldn't remember names, and sometimes forgot where they were in their reading material and talks.they never stepped down as elders.. what are the reasons why most never step down?
can they be asked to step down because of age?
