  Site Updates

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.

  deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.

  worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

  We're going to impeach Trump . . . and make Mexico pay for it!

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  i have little doubt articles of impeachment will be drawn up on trump within the next year or so.

  my only question at this point is what are they going to get him for?.

  collusion with a foreign government to subvert an election?.

  The poet Langston Hughes wrote that at his funeral wake, he wanted everyone to wear red, because there was no point in his being dead.

  It is my humble opinion that the Bible's explanation of what causes death is the most plausible of all.

  Even so, questions still abound, and that is a good thing.

  Why did Jesus need to experience a human childhood?

  by HB in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've never been a jw and haven't ever studied the bible or theology so it may be that there is a simple answer to my question that i'm not aware of, in which case, please forgive my ignorance.

  however i have wondered about this for quite some time and have scoured the internet but i can't find any mention of the topic.

  maybe someone here might enlighten me.

  I believe Jesus of Nazareth is the Seed of the Woman prophesied in Genesis.

  To fulfill this Prophecy, the Seed had to be conceived, gestated, and born as any other human; the only difference is the Seed has God as His Father, thereby being both God and human - sinless.

  As such, the Seed, upon coming of age, could have created another woman, and started a new family.

  But, instead of this, He chose to redeem the family He already had, tainted though they were.

  These are simply my thoughts on the matter.
