I think it's possible that the flood stories came from floods at the end of the last ice age that hit coastal regions hard, but no way there was a global flood and a boat and 2 animals and all that sheat.

by EndofMysteries ini just learned this information the past couple of days but it seems it's been out the past couple of years.
many many articles about some asteroid/meteor event about 13,000 years ago.

Getting to know the mind of God (part 1) Incest? No big deal. Looking back? Instant death.
by BU2B init seems that genesis is chock full of goodies to make yhwh look less than the loving, impartial, fair god so many think they worship.. here is another one i just thought of.. yhwh decides to turn lot's wife into a mound of salt for the horrible crime of "looking back" toward her home.
this is brought up often by jws who use the story to tell jws not to look at the things behind.. we all know god is consistent and never changes so compare what happens later.. lots daughters cannot seem to find any man around so they conspire two nights in a row to get their father drunk, and have sex with him two nights in a row.
gods response?-...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............. there isnt one .

Why JWs don't celebrate Mother's day
by Laika inin the uk, this sunday is mother's day!
ask a jw why they don't celebrate holidays and they'll tell you it's because of some nefarious pagan connection.
but this is really just a cover.

[Justin Timberlake:] What is it dawg?
[Andy Samberg:] I forgot it's Mothers Day.
[Justin Timberlake:] Didn't get a gift for her.
[Andy Samberg:] Other plans got in the way. She'll be so disappointed.
[Justin Timberlake:] Damn I forgot it too.

WTS governing body changes - how have all those claiming to be anointed been exposed as liars?
by tootired2care inin juan viejo2s recent thread about district overseer and other changes coming this bit was quite intriguing to me.. the governing body will be expanded to 12 to better match the biblical magic number of apostles, tribes of israel, etc.
that will also reset the 'magic number' to 8 needed to get a majority vote to make a doctrinal change.... one of my friends suggests that "annointed" will become synomous with "appointed.
" if a brother is "appointed" to the governing body, then the logic is that he has automatically been "annointed" by holy spirit and would therefore be considered to be part of the 144k.. .

My guess is they would use that scripture where an Apostle lays hands on someone to commision them or something.
