The real fun is to look at the position of the outer planets, Jupiter and Saturn. That locks the date down pretty well and debunks the Watchtower claims.

VAT 4956 - Comparison Of The Lunar Three Time Intervals For Years 568/7 BCE and 588/7 BCE
by AnnOMaly invat 4956 - comparison of the lunar three time intervals for years 568/7 b.c.e.
the online sky view cafe (svc) and the cartes du ciel* (cdc) astronomy programs have been used for these results.. observer's location: babylon, 32 33' n / 44 24' e.. sr = sunrise; ss = sunset; mr = moonrise; ms = moonset.. .
svc's range of difference between its results and that of the text, when a time interval could be taken, is 1.75 to 6.5. average difference 3.5.. cdc's range of difference between its results and that of the text, when a time interval could be taken, is 0.75 to 8.5. average difference 4. .

Now I am going to share some never seen before photos that I took 5 years ago. This is in the Pacific, sailing at night on the way back from Catalina island, a dozen or so dolphins kept us company for an hour as they were surfing the bow wake and generally having a great time playing with a trimaran. The water was glassy clear and so you are seeing them mostly underwater.

It's a publicity stunt to try and revive a sinking show.

Meet a friend of mine: G.K.Chesterton
by Terry ini love the mind of g.k.chesterton!.
he has a wonderful way of looking at things and then getting you to see them by saying something simple.. chesterton was a very creative man who was able to take on every subject with wit and turn things inside out.. as wiki describes him:.
he wrote on philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism, public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography, christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction.. .

Do you really understand how much LEVERAGE is used against you
by Terry inmost reasonably educated people have "some idea" of what leverage is.
we might think of the simple device known as the "lever".. .
what any kind of lever really amounts to is a trade off to gain advantage.

With the Watchtower it is always a bait and switch deal because that is the inherent nature of their business model.

"the mess in the west"
by Hortensia inlast night the folks on the weather channell were referring to our rainstorm as "the mess in the west.
" they always have to have a catch phrase, don't they.
i understand oregon is getting dumped on, up to a foot of rain in some areas, but we're closer to the southern end of the storm and they say we're just getting a few inches.. anway, isn't rain glorious?

Down Fallbrook way there is mostly light drizzle. We had a very extended sunny season, so getting the ground watered is a good thing.

It sounds nice in theory.
The reality is that there are always two sets of rules. Under NAFTA, corporations can freely move billions of dollars in wealth across borders, but I still am only allowed one quart of tequila before getting the rest confiscated. Where's my free trade?

Adam is Israel
by Christ Alone ini've recently been informed about the belief that the genesis account of adam is not speaking about the literal first man and woman, but a metaphorical retelling about the beginning of the nation of israel.
one of the proofs that they use is when cain kills abel and is forced to leave.
he is concerned about a posse coming after him to avenge abel's death.

The religious explanation of this story is found wanting.
