  Why do they ask us to stand up?

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a question.

  at the beginning of each meeting at the kingdom hall, the chairman invites us to find our seats and be seated.. after we have got ourselves comfortable and all is (reasonably) quiet, the meeting chairman then invites us to stand and sing the opening song.. does anyone else find this a bit strange?

  why are we invited to sit, then before we've done anything else, we're invited to stand.. just seems odd to me.

  Carbon-14 Dating

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all: in discussing evolution, creation, and bible chronology we will at some point pass through various dating methods that challenge religious beliefs, especially that of the watch tower religion.. some years ago the watch tower society published material (i forget the actual reference) that challenged carbob-14 dating as flawed and prone to error, especially when dating fossils.

  the wts cited some sources that dealt with sample contamination that may cause errors in reading half-life of carbon-14.. i wish i could find the article again, because it was published when i was still working in nuclear engineering.

  i recall feeling that the wts was stretching the claims to cover the understanding of bible chronology regarding the age of homo sapiens being about 4,026 years.

  which do you consider to be more important, personal integrity or organisational unity?.

  9 however, uri'ah lay down at the entrance of the kings house with all the other servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house.

  nevertheless, he went out in the evening to lie down on his bed with the servants of his lord, and to his own house he did not go down.

  on the the back of awake june22 is a short little story!.

  last year, in maryland, u.s.a, a man politely refused the wt and awake magazines.his younger, however asked if she could have them, and the father said that she could.the two cleaning their car and putting trash in a nearby trash container[in other words a dumpster].

  concerned that the magazines might be discarded, the witness who offered them decided to return later[in other words late at night/early morning] and check the container[container is such a nice word...but in reality its called a dumpster...].
