I seem to get lots of emails to my AOL mail account offering pills to enlarge my penis, boost my sex-drive, grow more hair and reduce my waistline. So now I pay for a separate email account.
Actually if there was a single pill that did all that I might be interested!!!!

well my weekly bible study is coming up this week and i am being blessed with the cuircut servant and his wife.i was told last week to save all my questions for them,(beacause of my difficulty with believing in 1914).
does anyone have a question that they would like me to ask.. .
Hi Galaxy,
I'd photocopy a page which gives the true date for the destruction of Jerusalem from an encyclopedia or history book, and then ask him to prove from a secular source the 607 date.
CF.
on a recent thread about the year of the destruction of jerusalem, i learned from "scholar" about rolf furuli.. i looked up his name in google, and came with a few interesting links.
all i can say is that i am glad there aren't too many witnesses going to universities, especially those claiming to be researchers.
first they must take their blinds off.. a review of rolf furuli's book "the role of theology and bias in bible translation".
Scholar,
How many times has it been explained to you why there is uncertainty about 587 or 586 being the year for the destruction of Jerusalem, and yet here you bring it up yet again!
The fact of the matter is that scholars are divided as to whether the Fall of Jerusalem applies to 586 or 587 and both sides have their own reasons for supporting their particular position.
The fact of the matter is that scholars definately agree that Jerusalem fell in one of those years, and the descrepancy occurs because the bible does not say which calendar, the Jewish or Babylonian, was being used when dating the destruction.
Furuli presents his research in a unbiased way which contrasts markedly with Jonsson's handling of the evidence.
From page 14 or Furuli's latest book, Persian Chronology and the Length of the Babylonian Exile of the Jews:
'This study is somewhat biased in the opposite direction; nothing is taken for granted of the accepted chronology.'
He also goes on to say: 'My disadvantage is that I am neither a professional archaeo-astronomer nor a historian. If you are not an expert in a field, you are likely to commit errors.' As far as I can see from the book, his 'Oslo Chronology' does not mention dates before 539BC (see table 36, p219). His book focusses on contrary evidence only, which of course is biased. But Furuli is right, in that contrary problems need to be published so that they can be studied and solved.

1i must go on boasting.
although there is nothing to be gained, i will go on to visions and revelations from the lord.
I agree with SS,
Looks like someone had an out of body experience, or at least said they did!!
i guess this questions is for people who grew up as jw's... .
when you were out door knocking as kids, did the people who's doors you knocked on ever tell your parents that they shouldn't bring you out door knocking in the freezing cold, or did they ever ask you why you were out door knocking when you're so young?.
i remember both questions coming up fairly often since in england it is always winter, never forget the way this one old guy bent down and asked me why i was there and i gave the answer 'i'm here because i want to be' which was a total bold faced lie, but it was what we taught to say.. anyone else experience this?

many skeptics assert that the bible must be wrong, because they claim that the ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals.

Abaddon,
Have you read the book 'Exodus to Arthur' by Mike Baillie. It has some very good explanations of the science of dendrochronology.
The tree ring record shows certain catastrophic events throughout history including 3195BC, 2354BC, 1628BC and 540AD. For example the tree ring event of 1628BC occurred when the volcano on Thera exploded.
Here's a quote from the book: "The third and fourth millenia BC, in central Europe, are now littered with absolute dates, with sufficient available long-distance connections to be glimpsed. Dendrochronology dating of the split oak timbers which make up the 'Sweet Track' in Somerset, England, last grew in 3807 BC. The track allowed humans to negotiate the inhospitable levels, probably at a time when the surface was relatively dry."
The 2354 BC event is consistent with local flooding.

today, at prime ministers questions, the leader of the oppostion michael howard, had tony blair squirming as he repeatedly asked him about the death of weapons expert david kelly.
this took place in front of millions of tv watchers earlier today, and is well worth watching here: .
blair roasted.. just click onto "prime ministers questions", if you don't want to watch the whole session you can select "hutton enquiry".
Englishman,
I think it would be great just to have an election that was closely fought and not a landslide as the last two have been. There has not been a strong enough opposition in the last 7 years or so.

Michael Howard is looking more and more like the next Prime Minister. He's an excellent debater and he definitely has Tony rattled.
i *can't* leave, i'm trapped.
i was talking to my twin sister tonight on how i didn't want to go to the upcoming convention this weekend because we had already been to it 2 months ago... .
i have to prepare some audition matrial for a arts event and my parents are not sympathtic to the fact i got allot to do, and we've already been.
Hi SC,
I can remember once, after my brother had left the 'troof', telling him tearfully how awful it would be to live in the new system without him. Not many years later I came to the same conclusion as him and left as well. I'm not saying your twin will change her opinion but it could happen.
I wish you all the best with these important decisions you have to make.

during my eight month long study with "elder bob" (moms husband) we have batted around many subjects to say the least.
but the one that really stands out is the dreaded date of 607 bc.
im sorry i just will not let up with this date, and him having to prove it can stand.

and then pretends we can't remember his 100% failure rate.
LOL.
