jesus seemed to believe in the story of noah's flood.

i wonder if god really drowned millions of people like the bible says for simply eating and drinking and not taking any note?

Mr. Kim,

For whatever reason you think I have my alias, I can assure you that you are wrong. Just like you have been wrong about everything else...

With regards to finding a true expert with a "Dr. of science degree"....again, you have proven yourself to be a laughable ingrate. What science would you care to discuss at any length? Unlike yourself, I wont threaten to charge you any fee to educate you on whatever branch of science you are interested in, including what I would assume to be your favorite brand, Science Fiction!

Also, any statements that I make are open to peer review and scrutiny by other posters on this forum, and I welcome such dialogue.

Now with regards to your statement that aquatic fossils have been found at elevations of 10,000 feet. You are 100% correct, in fact, you can find them higher! That doesnt mean that those mountains were once submerged at their present heights though. Anyone with a basic understanding of planetary geology and plate techtonics knows that mountains are caused by continental shelves and lithospheric plates as they move and push against each other. This causes a folding of the crust on the surface and a pushing up of the rock underneath. Any fossils contained on this land mass, aquatic or not, get pushed up...it really is that simple.

What I want to know from you is, what makes you think that those fossils are 5000 years old?

D Dog, you make a great point...

The basis for the comment that I made was on not only the scripture that you read, but also the one found at Gen 22:15,16. The only bible I know how to find online is the New World, so you'll have to forgive me on that one...but here it is...

15 And Jehovah’s angel proceeded to call to Abraham the second time out of the heavens 16 and to say: “‘By myself I do swear,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘that by reason of the fact that you have done this thing and you have not withheld your son, your only one,

It is the fact that the utterance of God himself revealed that Abraham had the choice to withhold his son and control his fate that I am talking about here. If God had control over all of our lives and deaths, then that would be, I feel, a contradiction of this scripture.

But again, you do make a great point.

Mr. Kim,

Hey Genius...the fossil record would not be the place you would look for proof that all land masses were once under water. And even if you could come up with some proof that they were all once under water, it doesnt mean that they were under at the same time. What you need to find in order to prove what many are imagining to be your point is a uniform layer of sediment covering the entire globe.

Good luck finding it, since it doesn't exist.

When will the "final message" be delivered to the world before the end? >>

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

it is my understanding, and i have always been told, that near the "end", during the great tribulation, the "final message," of jehovah would be delivered before all of the nations of the world, as one final chance of redemption.

and no, i'm not talking about the standard door-to-door preaching work, but a one-time only - final message of the coming destruction that was of to come right before the end, and it would cause the governments to hate the witnesses even more and cause even greater persecution, etc.

i was told this message would be the one final chance for any "inactive" or non-believers to ask forgiveness of jehovah and have mercy on them.

I think that this sounds familiar as well...but damn, if that doesnt fly in the face of the whole "day or the hour, no one knows" thing...not that ever mattered much anyway...

Mr. Kim,

Yet another post where you chose not to back up a single claim you have made. You have completely and entirely reinforced the suspicions of every other poster on this thread that has confronted you with the challenge that you know absolutely nothing of what you are talking about. I have a strong feeling that your laughter isnt nearly as loud as you would like us to believe...

Let me ask you...if you stretch both of your arms out, can you reach all the way across the rabbit hole?

Mr. Kim,

I would gladly be considered "irate" as opposed to a "lunatic". You clearly have no interest in backing up your own statements. I personally consider this ironic. The goal of everyone on this board so far seems to be to at least help others somewhat. You clearly have no interest in this at all, or you would at least try and back up one of the things that you have said. Instead, you just want to act like we are all too dumb to get what you have said, or that we should somehow be learning it via osmosis, which is pathetic because I doubt that have ever learned in this manner...

Good luck on your bet.

Deputy Dog,

Not to interject myself into your conversation...but I guess just had a thought to share. You made this statement that, reading from the bible, I would have to disagree with..."my point is that God merely controls everyone's life and death." I personally do not put much stock in the bible, but as a basis for anticipating how God interacts with us, it is probably the only common ground that you and I have...

That being said, how would you explain God and his relationship with Abraham, and how God chose to see if Abraham would be willing to sacrifice his son? According to the bible, God waited until the last possible second, and then stopped Abraham, just as he was about to kill Isaac. God then said that only at that time could he be sure that Abraham would or would not sacrifice his son. In other words, God had to wait and see how Abraham would control his son's fate. That, in my mind, is not the behavior of a God that "controls everyone's life and death."

Mr. Kim...

Wow...you are crazy...

You seem to revel in the idea, but I cant imagine that anyone is offended by a single thing that you said. You just dont make any sense. Your post, for all its highlighting and bold text, really didnt say anything.

All people want is for you to clarify your position, and backup the claims that you made. You clearly are not willing to do that. Instead, you just log back on and tell people that they need to get real life experience, that you will just have some fun, and that some of us "might learn." Well, teach us!!! Prove you arent the nutjob it sounds like you are...

You made some posts about the flood. Everyone seemed to disagree with you. When you were challenged you ran from the notion of having to support your statements and have now assumed a position in your own mind where you can just look down on others and sneer/laugh at them. Hey, now that I think about it, maybe the Governing Body is hiring!! Go get 'em big guy!!

Statistics you will not find in the annual report

by architect in

why don't the wtbs tell us the number disfellowshiped/disassociated instead of saying "thousands"?.

why don't they tell us how much money was made in the annual report?.

don't they owe all this to the membership?

slacker911

I would love to know how much they made on real estate in the last five to seven years...especially in the United States. The land Patterson and Walkill is on has to have quadrupled in value in that time frame.
