  the flood, mammoths, elphants, and food.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.

  also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .

  The amount of fresh water from that much rain and what it would do to the ecosystem is what got me. It's just a story. Like Green Eggs and Ham.

  Actually, you can't ever trust the WBTS stats. They never have and never will present the actual numbers. I knew somebody in the Service Department who confirmed this, and to them it wasn't a bad thing...it's just how they report!

  For one, publishing hours are now deluded with RBC work probably up to 50% of the numbers reported, (to the delight of many in the hall). That is just the obvious one everybody knows about.

  You know!

  a particularly fat and ugly woman walks into a pet store to buy her pit bull some dog food.

  she passes a huge parrot on an open stand as she walks down the dog food isle.

  as she is looking through the dog food brands she hears a pssssst......then another psssst... behind her.

  Reverse Shunning

  someting happened yesterday that i thought might be noteworty enough to relate to you here.. mrs. eyz and i were invited to my new boss's home for his annual end of summer party.

  it's a pretty big deal....his is a name known locally (i'll call him j.r.) a really nice interesting guy who's held a number of high level and politically connected jobs.

  there was to be music, dancing, wine and reprotedly lots of well dressed, well educated, well to do and influential people (oh yes...and us) in attendance.. anyway we thought we'd make an occasion out of it and got ourselves spiffed up which involved new outfits and extra mirror time before we left home.

  Well done XYZ! You took control of the situation, nothing confuses a JW more I have found. They expect us to be contrite and to cower in their presence...which is how they are told to be if they are found to be "wrong doing." Instead, you are confident, happy, doing well, and told them where they were wrong. Ha!

  Excellent...and I bet you feel great! And I bet they will be thinking about this encounter for a loooong while to come. Hugs to Mrs. XYZ

  Weird. Just played some Crusaders a few minutes ago. Wilton has been very ill as well, I heard.

  Like they say, "Put it Where you Want It." RIP Joe.

  How do we set up a "Used New Bike Fund" for Terry?

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?

  with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.

  does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?

  How old were you when baptized?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was baptized at the age of 11. like most of us, my commitment wasnt to honor god but rather i was gang pressed into the service of the wtbts.

  and, at such a young age, it was impossible for me to appreciate the enormity of my actions.

  honestly, how could i possibly have known any better?
