  need good information about ice drillings

  by the_end_of_eternity in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am in this discussion with an elderm and it is all about the age of the polar caps, coral reefs etc.

  for abvious reasons this is important discussion.. anyway, what is good scientific information proving (or priving not) the age is more then a few 1000 years old.... i know there have been some drillings done etc.

  most siytes just give this as a fact, which i do not doubt so much, but of course he wants more prove.. same with the age of the coral islands (atols).. thanks all.. end_of_eternity.

  Thank you all for the help,

  yes some of those sites are very good... Will still look for more. It does nto matter if they are technical, how more technical how better I think.

  JCANON: the page there is not really very scientific, actually they make quite a lot of rediculous claims. Will not refute them, coz guess not many people would be interested here.

  glendster: thanks also... but of course the JW don't follow much of the young earth ideas, so the age of the universe or earth is not really a point of discussion i think. The age of man, and the flllot are the points of discussion however. Thanks also.

  I am just starting to realize that I really do not get it indeed.....

  what is so special on the sarcrifice,. because:

  • which person would not give his life to save a few others.
  • So even more which person would not give his life to safe the whole world.
  • So even more which person would not go into coma for three days to save the whole world.

  never got what the big deal is . . .

  Don't Like the Biblical god? Consider believing in these instead...

  by serotonin_wraith in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so here's the problem.

  you would like there to be a god, but you hope it's not the biblical one, as that one seems too mean.

  well have you considered searching for one more to your liking?

  blake, first of all welcome, even I am a newbie myself....

  for some maybe it is the reason why we left the JW religion, because we (well at least me) did not like the God of the bible. So for me this thread is very okee and to the point with that....

  I can only speak for myself,... it was just all those things in the bible that make me realise how strange that whole conecpt is, and then after I realized more that JW's were even more weirder in their ideas on some topics...
  SO for me it makes sence. thanks for posting

  Yearbooks= Does Bethel "worship" new Watchtower buildings and branches?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the yearbook is always beaming with pictures, descriptions, and glowing testamony of the new buildings the watchtower purchased, renovated or built.

  is this in fact "building worship"?

  i mean do the poor 3 million witnesses who meet in shacks on dirt floors, really care or understand these pictures, from their rich western society brothers?

  It looks like it, in a limited way indeed.....

  those people from the more poor countries like mine, do not have that feeling, that it is all rich. It is relatively to other buildings, churches etc not too bad, and far away.
  They don't care to much for those pictures.

  Maybe a bit more for the regional bethel building which can be quite nice in comparision with the average buildings in those countries. And teh stanard of living of the bethelites, CO, DO etc, is mostly a lot higher then 'nornal' brothers and sisters. I think that this last is much more painfull then the building in crooklin...

  how many witnesses would stop going to the meetings right now if they were not tied to the.

  organization due to family members who are active and are blinded by wt teaching?.

  how many husbands, like myself, go to meetings so as not to destroy their marriage?.

  Question about a WT song....

  by DublDipd in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just thinking about a song that we used to sing at the kh....cannot remember the name of the song, but it was quite popular at the assemblies.. the questionable lyrics were, "fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul" it continues on with "to the end continue faithful, i will take you to your goal".. this was from the old songbook (remember, the purple one).

  has the wt$ changed the lyrics to this song?

  do they sing it anymore?
