Yes the Israelites worshipped more than one god. The scriptures are full of calf worship,the witch 0f endor, the prophets of bael as well as countless other gods adapted from nearby nations. The prophets of Yaweh usually killed off these people.

Ancient Gods and the bible.
by Crazyguy inthis seems like a very good site on the subject.
https://sites.google.com/site/yahwehelohiym/an-ancient-view-of-god/one-god-or-many-gods.
one scripture that was mentioned that was very intersting to me was judges 1:19 where is says that the lord or yahweh was with judah and they drove out the mountaineers but could not drive out the people of the lowlands because they had chariots.

I agree with all previous comments! My biggest joy however is being able to raise normal adjusted confident and happy KIDs!!! They are in college with friends and good childhood memories. Oh and not being scared to walk in my basement at night, DEMONDS!!!

Peyton is great, probably the best QB i've ever seen. However he never seems to show up for the big games. So I'm thinking Seahwaks!!
The old arguments about which is better, American football or the football the rest of the world watches is so lame. They are both highly competitive
interesting and entertaining. To both groups, I say give the other sport a chance. You might actually learn something new! I do feel bad for all the gun
owners not being able to shoot at anything for the 4 hrs the game is being played!!

Just an amusing thought today and wondered if it ever been tried.
by joe134cd ini was thinking today if anyone has ever tried this.
has any apostate ever sent a registered letter inviting the elders to a judicial committie, to state the reasons of why an apostate should remain as one of jehovahs witnesses.
perhaps the letter could read as follows.. to the body of elders.

Geevee,
That's my real question also. I know they invest and buy and sell properties and what not. But what's the end game? Is it just to make as much as possible?
It's not inconceivable, because I'm sure the GB are very well cared for, so maybe it's just like any other job. I just really think somebody, somewhere has a
greedy paw on that ca$h!

Who Made The Code?
by Perry ina few weeks ago, discoveries were made that show that there is another dna code language that rides on top of the already incredibly complex 4-letter code previously discovered.
this newly discovered code apparently regulates how genes work.
as i noted in a previous thread, the amount of data storage available in the dna storage system just the size of a pin-head would filll a stack of books stacked from your driveway to the moon .... 500 times!

You can't say that DNA or any other part of humans are to complex to have just appeared or evolved and then turn around and suggest that GOD just appeared. One is no more ridiculous an explanation than the other one. Can both sides admit that much? One thing we absolutely know is that things do evolve or adapt. Some argue that people aren't still evolving but we are. We are bigger stronger faster and live longer than our ancesters were.

Interesting! But to what end? I mean what point is a multi billion $ organazation or making investments with no particular benefactor? My thought is someone must be really enjoying at least a piece of that pie. They will never get another dime from me but I would feel slightly less foolish if they actually use the money for the preaching work
