SYN,
His argument against all that is simply that it was a MIRACLE. God could do all that, no problem.
My problem would be though, why would God then go to the trouble of hiding all the evidence for a global flood???

For JCanon: Is the Global Flood Feasible (Nice Thread From Another Site)
by SYN in.
i'm having a lot of fun reading the creationists vs. evolutionists argument about the flood here...the evolutionists are thoroughly trouncing the creationists!

Dansk,
See we can agree on some things!!
Looking at the program notes it looks as though they will take the viewpoint that the Flood myth is based on flooding of the Euphrates/Tigris basin rather than flooding of the Black Sea coastline.
This is a viewpoint I'd agree with as the Black Sea flood event was too far back in time (circa 7000 BC).

City City ... we're the pride of Manchester !!
by Simon ina classic derby moment, first in our new stadium and we stuffed man utd 4-1, ruining their title hopes and possibly saving ourselves from relegation.. are man utd on the decline?
they are nowhere near the top in the league this season and were dumped out of europe too.
all we need now is for arsenal to do them in the cup and they finish with nothing !!

NEWEST WT ON 666
by Mary inok, i just got the latest wt that has big flaming numbers 666 on the front.
i skimmed through it but naturally it's pretty vague on who they think makes up this beast that has this number.
personally, i've always felt that there will be an individual antichrist (like hiter) who tries taking over the world.

Thi Chi,
he was the 7th emperor (head) of Rome (the Beast)
Nero was the 5th emperor, (Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero). But I think this fits as the beast had seven heads which "are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come". It makes sense to me to say that the first five emperors, up to and including Nero,were the five who had fallen, the next emperor after the civil war Vespasian is the king who "is", and his son Titus had "yet to come". Titus only ruled for 2 years and hence "must remain only a little while".
The beast is then an eighth king which goes off to perdition. This would be Domitian, who was regarded as Nero reincarnated, and who also persecuted the Christians. So the beast that was (Nero), is not (during Vespasians reign) and "is to ascend...and go to perdition" as the eighth king Domitian.
I think this solution fits better than others which view Julius Caesar as first King, or include civil war rulers such as Galba in the list.

The great harlot is Nero's mother who committed fornication with Nero and was the inspiration of much anti-Christian persecution. Her devastation was allegorical when Nero turned on her and had her killed.
Very interesting. Doesn't it all make much more sense when you read about the history of the times. The same reason the book of Daniel makes more sense when applied to the Seleucid kings and anti-Jewish persecution.

I think this sums up the difference between a care home run as a business and a voluntary care home:
Care Homes: residential homes
Most residential care homes are owned and run by organisations or individuals for profit. There are still a few which are owned by the local authority. Voluntary homes are run on a non-profit making basis by bodies such as registered charities or religious denominations.A normal run-for-profit nursing or residential home will need to ask questions about savings and assets as this affects the funding of a bed in the home and whether a bed is available or not. The number of purely social services run homes is declining and social services tend to rent rooms from privately run homes. Also a privately run care home will also have a registered charitable fund, to accept donations and to pay in money raised by events, summer fetes, bring-and-buy sales etc.
I have no problem with some guy or woman deciding there was a gap in the market and opening some nursing homes solely for JWs. I think he'd be in trouble with 'equal oportunities' for the JW-only staffing policy though. They can ask for donations and could register as a charity to accept money.
Just reading through the pages on the website has left me with a few questions. The way both charity and religion are stressed on the website makes it appear as though it is a voluntary religious home, in which case the figures quoted by Nicolau would be money to the Watchtower Society and not 'net profit' to an individual. But wouldn't the charity then be registered to the Watchtower Society?
I also wonder if any finance or capital to open these homes has been borrowed from the WTS, the same way that loans are given to Kingdom Halls, which are then dedicated back to the Society once paid for?
Interesting.

The bit in Airplane is pretty funny where the captain is trying to run through the terminal and keeps getting stopped by religious types like the moonies, mormons, Jehovahs Witnesses. He ends up punching and throwing them all out of his way.
Spike Milligan did a sketch once, years and years ago, where he was a Jehovahs Witness boxer!! He had his hands tied behind his back while the other boxer just hit him. Between every round it cut to a large crowd at a district assembly loudly clapping! (not sure how they filmed that!).
I also remember some detective program which had a Jehovahs Witness character in it. The guy looked a bit of a nerd with large NHS spectacles on and a large tweed coat. I turned to my brother and said -"well he sure looks like a witness!!" He just cracked up, then I got a clip round the ear from mother!
