2. beliefs
why leave the writing to inaccurate third parties who each saw things from their own perspective.

if his message was so important for posterity, why did he not write an accurate account of his message?

Is Genesis account just a myth?
by AK - Jeff in
1. watchtower
2. bible
there are many stories that make we wonder if anything akin to solid reasoning can prop up the bible's accounts of early life on earth.

but perhaps this scripture is a key:.

"these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the lord god made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the lord god had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

this is a lighter topic.. how do you feel about your dogs on the bed?

forbid it?.

my boys are allowed on the bed all day but at night we say "down to the crate" the crate happens to be a very expensive leather couch with many pillows.. they listen to what ever we say, but the human bed seems to be the best place.. i change the sheets every other day.....can't stand the itchy, scrachties!.

why even numbers are better
by John Doe in
1. jw

every number added to itself yields an even number.. there is never an "odd one out" with even numbers.

even numbers are divisible by two.

there is only one prime even number.. even numbers won't murder you in your sleep.
