they didn't arrive on time at the ark.. can't remember where i read it?.
jaguarbass:
There seems to be lots of evidence of a world wide flood.
Sure, there seems to be until you check and realise that all the people who make those claims are simply lying. They do this because their cherished beliefs depend on a global flood having happened, and as it clearly didn't, they have to pretend it did.

where is WAC?
The Illuminati, New World Order etc. read his posts, and because he had discovered their secret plans had him "disappeared". I don't know how they found him, he must have removed his tinfoil helmet...
there are several scriptures that say the moon will turn blood red and the sun will be darkened before armageddon takes place.. i have seen many red moons.
they were astoundingly beautiful, but the nag of superstitious words can prevent one from enjoying the beauty of this phenomenon.. we know today that the "red moon" is caused by dust particles in the atmosphere.
these particles can also cause a "blue moon",too.. in the past, red moons have been caused by lunar eclipse as well as volcanic ash in the atmosphere.. in the "ancient days" i suppose certain civilizations saw this phenomenon as a "bad omen" because they had no explanation for it.
cameo-d:
Is it really prohpecy or superstition?
It's both. It's something somebody didn't understand so they made up an explanation and is therefore superstition. It also purports to predict the future, so it's prophecy. Of course it's not true prophecy, there's no such thing.

talk radio hosts: magic faked aidsstory highlightstwo minneapolis talk radio hosts accused magic johnson of faking aidsmagic released a statement expressing outrage over the remarksthe former lakers great was diagnosed with hiv in 1991[blocked ads]</form>[blocked ads]minneapolis (ap) -- former nba star magic johnson criticized a pair of talk show hosts friday for accusing him of faking aids but said he didn't want them to be fired.. chris baker and langdon perry of ktlk in minneapolis made the remarks during baker's conservative radio show on wednesday.
after johnson condemned the statements, the station said it regretted "some offhand remarks" by the pair.. "we can't have people out here making false statements and putting out bad information, because this battle is too big when it comes to hiv and aids," johnson told the associated press in a telephone interview.. "i poured my life into it and a lot of other people have poured their life into it, into getting out the right information so people can protect themselves and know what hiv and aids is all about.".
minimus:
Stupid to be "convinced".
That's typical behaviour for W-A-C. He can apparently be easily convinced of anything as long as it is patently false.

ninja:
what about the apollo 13 funky dude?.......did you watch it?...did it take off at 13:13?.....
Yes, and I guess that's actually a minor coincidence (unlike most of what you posted). Nothing particularly weird about it, though. Edited for correction: Apollo 13 was launched at 14:13 local time (EST).

A good analysis of the trivial coincidences - and outright lies - in the perennial Kennedy/Lincoln meme can be found at http://www.snopes.com/history/american/lincoln-kennedy.asp
I can only assume ninja is joking about the rest of the "coincidences" although I must admit I don't quite get it.

today i was talking to someone who is a history professor.
he said that he heard that, on his deathbed, russell admitted that the whole religion was just something that he made up for profit.
i've never heard anything like this and kind of dismissed it.

Today I was talking to someone who is a history professor. He said that he heard that, on his deathbed, Russell admitted that the whole religion was just something that he made up for profit.
Not true. We all know that Russell died on a train on Hallowe'en 1916 while in bed with one of his male disciples and dressed in a toga. Even if Russell had recanted, the disciple in question is the only one who would know and he never mentioned it.
i have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.
there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.
Slappy:
Sex, with someone other than your wife, is wrong.
Not according to the Bible. Sex with someone else's wife is considered wrong, but otherwise, it seems, anything goes.
