  space.com dates Noah's flood to 2350 B.C.

  the watchtower society dates noah's flood to 2370 b.c.e.

  they do this by following bible chronology quite closely, counting backwards from 607 b.c.e., their date for babylon's destruction of jerusalem.

  however, as we know, the society's date for that event is in error.

  Another thing I would like a worldwide flood believer to tell me is what happened to the dinosaurs. Did they all die off before the flood? If so why? If not then they must have all been on the ark because God told Noah to take two of every animal kind. That ark must have been really crowded with all those big dinosaurs, even smaller young ones. If they were on the ark what caused them to all die shortly afterwards? And why did God have Noah bring them all along if he was gonna let them all die out right after the flood anyway?

  I have more questions too for Clash City Rocker if he ever comes back.

  ... get your gun out and go to any church of christendom on a certain sunday a few weeks after the publication date of the watchtower that was making the demand, and open up on the congregation?".

  that question was asked of active jws in good standing by richard hickman, whom many of you know, when he was doing research for a book he was writing.

  strangely enough, the most common answer went something like this:.

  I don't believe any Witnesses said they would do it.

  This is a question for Clash City Rocker. Now dont get me wrong. Im not asking you this to argue in favor of a less than earthwide flood or in favor of evolution. Because I dont really know what is true about those things. But you seem to think you do. So I am asking you this question.

  I have a copy of National Geographic here. August,1988. It has a big article about the island of Madagascar. It tells how there are 28 different species of monkeys [ and many more "subspecies"] on that island that are totally unique to that island. In other words they are found nowhere else on earth. National Geographic explains this by saying that Madagascar drifted away from the mainland of Africa about 165,000,000 years ago, even before monkies and apes came into existence. So its monkies evolved totally seperately from other monkies in the world they say.

  Now I think God could have just created all those different monkey species on that Island and nowhere else. And I'm thinking that maybe all these different kinds of monkies lived around Noah before the flood and Madagascar formed after the flood, so they didn't have to come all the way from Madagascar to begin with. I'm also thinking that maybe there was a land bridge back there so they didn't have to take a boat to the island after the flood. But how do you think that 28 species of monkies got from Noah's ark to Madagascar after the flood without leaving any of their species behind along the way?

  I think everything that csn possibly be said about this subject has been said. Why dont you people save this all to disks and the next time someone brings up this subject of the flood again you can just run this again and save everybody a lot of time. But for now you can put a fork in this subject because its done.

  ac: Do you go to church? If so where? Are you catholic? I read a few years ago that the pope believes that God put a soul in evolved apes to create humans. So I thought you two might hang out together.

  LOL! Rem just said >>> I figured that the "others" would include Ross, Young, and Fischer since you have brought them up before in previous discussions.
  So Rem, why did you bother wasting the guys time making him answer your question if you already knew the answer he was gonna give you! Why this guy bothers with people like you who only want to argue I can't figure.

  When Revelation Turns Obsolete

  one of the reasons i thought armageddon was close at hand was.

  the impending obsolescence of the bible as a source of revelation.. the bible was written within the context of a large number of.

  conditions that eventually would be changed by technology, i reasoned,.

  ac: ISP made the following comment in another string. I thought it was quite good. Any comment?

  Women did have an active part in the first century congregation. The following account shows that a woman did have a prominent position in the congregation. JC with his admonition did not say ‘What the heck are you doing teaching…don’t ya know you should be only doing No 3 assignments’. She did get ticked off by JC for fornication and all but if she repented etc. I guess he would allowed her to carry on.
  *** Rbi8 Revelation 2:20-29 ***
  20 “‘Nevertheless, I do hold [this] against you, that you tolerate that woman Jez'e•bel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her fornication

  Thanks for your post. I have copied it and saved it for future reference. aChristian wrote a post under the heading "When Revelation Turns Obsolete" on the same general subject matter which I thought was quite good too. You may want to check it out. By the way, I'm still a JW. But the more I'm learning the less I'm believing the org's claims for itself.

  ac: Take heart. I too found your commentary on Paul's views of women to be of great value in my growing list of subjects that I am now convinced the WT has wrong. I have printed a copy of your post for future reference and another copy to share with a friend. Thanks.
