bibles is a map, and in the map is a drawing of a dinosaur.. does anyone know why the dinosaur is there?.
this is something i have actually wondered about for years.. perhaps someone here might know the answer.. --vm44
The Golden Age of April 1, 1931 on page 428:
It will be very apparent to readers of Judge Rutherford's book Creation that the present condition of Venus is about what the earth was prior to the Flood, and it is significant that some astronomers have advanced the idea that animals like the dinosaurs that once roamed this planet are now finding Venus a happy place in which to live.

Refer to the "Golden Age" magazine from sometime in the early 1930's. There you will find the "truth" that the dinosaurs are roaming happily on the surface of Venus.

my votes:.
the best: as a group they're relatively color-blind (low to no incidence of racism among them ).. the worst: their stubborn refusal to see the good in anyone but themselves!.
what say you?
One more thing...
If Fred knows about Room 222 than he is not a kid. That show was on in the late sixties. Sorry Fred, but you are dating yourself.

I can attest to the racism too. I used to attend conventions in Pontiac Mich. and as a white guy, I was shocked to see the attitde the black "brothers" and "sisters" showed toward me. There was no feeling of love, or of the existance of a "brotherhood". This may have been one of the first eye-openers for me. I realized that what we were being told in the WT was not really happening in real life.

no moaning for me today.. what i want to know is the positive side of your life that you got from being a witness.. yes there are some, honest.. well i'll start off ,.
1. i met my wife.
2. lots of friends.
1) Learned morals (although good moral parents of any religion would have done the same thing)
2) Learned public speaking (never use it now)
3) Learned not to fear meeting the public from door to door (I don't plan to ever sell vacuums so this doesn't really matter)
4)Met a few friends (they all shun me now)
5)Learned the Bible (with a JW slant, so I guess that doesn't count)
The more I think about it, I realize that the person I am today is not a result of any good I gleaned from the JWs. It comes from decent parents and family. Had they been Catholic, Protestant or whatever, I would be the same.
So to the JW leadership: thanks for nothing.

anybody want to chat about this sub or about any other startrek stuff, am a big tng,voyager fan.
sorry ds9 does nothing for me but will still chat about it.
seen the movie trekkies?
Huge Star Trek fan here! Voyager was my favorite. The original series was good, but after seeing each episode at least 20 times, it's time to move on. You know you've watched it too much when you can recite the next line coming and be 100% right!!
DS9 was pretty boring to me, although there were a few really excellent episodes. Unfortunately they were few and far between.
I find Enterprise disappointing. There have been a couple of decent shows, but most have been quite forgetable. If I had my choice of having to watch Enterpise or Stargate SG-1, I'd go for Stargate. Much better stories.

i was given the following by an elder in our congregation yesterday.. --------------------------------------------------------------.
wanted: elder for growing congregation.
a real challenge for the right man!
"circus clown"
That's pretty accurate. I don't disagree with that at all.
"nuclear science"
Elders I knew were toilet cleaners. Not quite adept at nuclear science.

MA,
"this is just one more example how the Writing Dept misleads/deceives JW readers, whom they know never verify anything they write, by using carefully selected verbiage."
My point exactly.
RR,
"Dan, I see you've been visiting www.food4jws.org, huh?"
Yes, very interesting stuff. I haven't looked at everything yet, but I will. How do you find out where the Bible Students meet?

november 11 is remembrance day in canada.
i believe it's called veteran's day in the us.
is this anniversary of the end of ww1 recognized in other countries?
Thank you, Unclebruce.
indeed... since i decided that i wouldn't be a publisher any longer and make no more talks, i've noticed more people avoiding me, talking less to me, etc.
i mean, what is this crap?
i wasn't baptized, i still maintain exemplary behaviour, etc.
Welcome to reality!
