  What planet do you people come from? What evidence have you found that we are in any way civilised?

  Awesome race, that was an amazing run to the front.

  the subject of the day at watchower.org is about noah's flood.. a direct link to the article is here: http://www.watchtower.org/e/20080601/article_01.htm.

  in the article highlighted this comment is made:.

  geologists studying the landscape of the northwestern united states believe that as many as 100 ancient catastrophic floods once washed over the area.

  "If Noah was a mythical figure and a global flood a fable, the warnings of Peter and Jesus for those living in the last days would be meaningless."

  Awesome!

  Outlaw, you missed the point. Should not the enlightened of this group do their part to inform and "unconvert" the misguided? I left close to 20 years ago, until coming here I had no idea Russell used numerology or was buried under a pyramid. Learning that they dropped the generation edict was shocking to say the least. Crisis of Conscience did not exist to people of my age, those truly in the faith would never read it anyway. His (Franz) Uncle used to come to our house for dinner, along with others of the GB. One of these days I will scan the pictures with the swinging bottles of Chianti However misguided, very much real people effecting real lives. I am sure Padgett is real too.

  my norton security sub exprires in a couple of weeks.

  i've heard a lot of negatives about norton mostly about the resources norton gobbles up which slows down everything else.

  my computer does seem to be be a bit pokey at times.

  Use Windows Defender for a firewall and Avast for Anti-virus. It works, it's free and it uses very little resources. Beyond that, hit ctrl, alt and delete and learn your processes. Once in a while do it again. When something unfamiliar is there, research it.

  Well, instead of helping your fellow man. You have passed on the opportunity to "witness" to this person and made yourself feel empowered. Sad, really.

  Accidental Instantaneous Sex

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the litter-ature over the years has teachings that imply jehovah's special people are all on the verge of having unplanned sex on a moment's notice, with anyone, at any time.. you must have a chaperone if you are to be alone with someone of the opposite sex, even briefly.. this applies to people of any ages.

  you could be a 99-year-old raisin whose flagpole hasn't risen since rutherford was living in beth sarim, but you still shouldn't be alone with a pimply 16-year-old shy obese virgin who still plays with barbie dolls.

  she's a seductress!

  Question for Christians or other religious people who believe in evolution

  by Amha·’aret in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  before i begin, i want to say that i really don't want to start yet another creation vs evolution debate so please don't go down that road with this thread.

  that debate has been done many times aleady!.

  i know there are many christians and other religious people on here who believe in god or gods and yet do accept evolution as the way we all came about.

  In a situation such as this, I like to say remove the Bible. If you remove the Bible, there is no soul. No one has seen one, there is no proof of such. Without the Bible, we, plants and animals are on the same plane. It is only the audacity of man to assume that we are the higher being, thus deserving a special thing called a soul. What is so important about you , that it needs to live on? Really, what is so great about you?

  Jerusalem destroyed 607 or 586/7?

  by isaacaustin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let's try this again...most of us are aware that all available evidence points to the time of jerusalem's destruction at the 586/7bc time frame.

  overwhelming evidence includes astronomical phenomena, achaeological evidence, bank records, the bible itself.. some hold to 607bc, for obvious reasons- the implications it has.

  thoughts on how this would effect the average witness if forced to conclude 607 is wrong?

  The 1914 date has been changed many times. What came of that? 607 is moot, IMO some of you here spend way too much time trying to quantify it. Without and end game, what differance does it make? The generation that will not pass away has been dropped. So what differance does it make when or if Jesus took over? If a day in his court yard is as a 1000 years elswhere? The end may not come for centuries. The end has always been near, just not in our or anyone elses lifetime.
