check the last city here....i googled "babylon, iraq population'....and other things on the city, and one archaeological site wrote that many archaeologists urged sadam to not build and grow modern babylon directly over many of the old ruins....but he did it anyway.

i saw a news item about their new mayor!.....jw's used to say this could never ever happen.

is this indeed basically the same city?....only 90 miles south of baghdad?...................oompa.

I find myself just getting "tired" of waiting for the End of the world. U2?

2. bible
is the end of the world just a fantasy in religious people's mind?

i am really beginning to believe we were all just made to believe in a fairy tale.

i still love jehovah and jesus but my faith is just wasting away behind waiting for a change such as the rapture/armaggeddon/paradise earth.

Why I was a lurker for so long: because english is not my mother tongue
by Madame in
1. jw
2. friends
i often write on the swedish board for ex-jw: http://www.network54.com/forum/349340/.

it's so much easier for me to write in swedish.

it takes a lot of effort to find the right words in english.. i understand most of what i read here, but it means more hard work to try to express my thoughts in english.. anyway, i finally wanted you all to know that i appreciate this board.

A question about time...
by AlphaOmega in
1. jw
2. friends
...sort of.... there was a thread a few days ago that touched on the subject of time being relative to the observer.. i wondered, does the jwd clock that records the time that we make a post actually post the same time to everyone.. .

i know that it can't get it's time from my pc clock as i see posts at say 8:55pm yet my pc clock says 8:53pm.. so.... what time (according to you) did i make this post ?.

i make it ... 20:46. .
