So do you have to have Sidewiki installed to see what others have posted or only to post yourself?

Now you can post your comments on the Watchtower.org website!
by Elsewhere inthe wts was smart enough to not setup a forum on their site.
they knew too much of the truth would come out!.
google has released a simple solution to this little problem: google sidewiki.

Do Most Pioneers really Get there time quota?
by xelder indo most pioneers really get there time quota?
over many years, i've known only a handful who were conscientious and actually seemed to work hard and efficiently.. i have long thought that counting time was really stupid.
all on us would kill time inefficiently, but for many years as i served on the service committee, we would review the pioneers activity twice a year.

Out of the "1 billion hours spent preaching annually" the Society is so proud of, I'd reckon no more than 10% is actually spent in conversation with other people - perhaps far less.
I'd say way, way less. I've had recent conversations w/family members who are pioneers and they go like this:
Her: We had a really great morning in service, the sun was out and the territory was so nice!
Me: Any good conversations?
Her: Well, nobody was home the entire morning. But we had a good time anyway.
---
Later, Her: (Other family member) is really enjoying pioneering here. The car groups are so much fun and everybody is so friendly. (Other family member) stayed out in service all day! (Other family member) didn't get home until 5:00!
Me: Wow! Were they getting many people home?
Her: Oh no, nobody home. But (Other family member) had a good time anyway.

So--help me out. Tell me where "Cadellin the name" is right now...
(Assuming, naturally, that you won't be giving yourself away if that's an issue for you)
(Assuming as well that this makes sense to you!)

Documentary About The Flood and Noah's Ark
by Blue Grass inabout a week or two ago i watched a documentary about the flood in noah's day entitled "in search of noah's ark".
two things i found very interesting in this program is a theory that one person had about how they believed the flood was caused due to a meteor hitting the ocean creating a tsunami that flooded the entire earth.
scientist were unanimous in their view that this is a very plausible scenario and that there is no way to rule this possibility out.

Another thought: If there WERE remnants of an ancient Noachian ark languishing at the top of Mt. Ararat in Turkey, rather than blocking any access to it, don't you think the Turkish gov't would be tripping over themselves to set up a tourist site and charge plenty of moola for access to it? There'd be travel agencies in Turkey dedicated to arranging visits, with nice fat receipts going to the gov't, special fees for visas to enter the country to visit Mt. Ararat, etc.

what happened to "peace and security"???
by highdose ini remember growing up as a dub that everyone was constantly on the look out for what could be the cry of peace and security... then suddenly people just stopped, it stopped being mentioned in talks ... everything.
theories please?.

Welcome, Feg! Firstly, you have an interesting handle; I'm curious as to its meaning, if you feel like sharing.
Second, you might want to release the caps lock on your keyboard, since all caps is like YELLING AT SOMEONE, and I'm sure you weren't intending that.
Thirdly, I'm not sure your treasure hunter analogy works so well. If the WT/FDS/GB are like treasure hunters, they're treasure hunters who dig like crazy in one spot all the while declaring, "This is where God is telling us to dig and if you don't dig with us right here, you don't love Jehovah!" until its starkly obvious there's nothing there. Then they run to a new spot and start digging like crazy all the while repeating the same thing. If someone asks about all of the empty holes surrounding them, their reply is "Holes? What holes? Oh, THOSE holes--apostates dug them!"

I'm reading the Bible cover to cover...
by homeschool in....what the heck have i gotten myself into .
as a sidenote, in genesis 21....abraham threw isaac a party on the day he was weaned.
check out the history on that and find out what other religions believe about that (i checked out the jewish & baptist websites).

I probably should add that such a widow would be subject to heavy social opprobrium, which would in itself probably enough to discourage such action. But from a strictly legal perspective, I don't think there was any prohibition.

"it just feels to me like the bible was written by men & not by god..."
Right. When you start to understand the cultural, social and political setting, ie, what was going on in the ANE at the time, it becomes a little easier to understand. Why the big laws on fornication and adultery? Having children was the most important thing anyone could do, and for a man, having plenty of sons to protect the settlement, carry on the name and leave the farm to was critical. Tight control on women meant tight control on fertility--you wanted to know that the baby she was carrying was YOURS and no one else's. You might have noted that that the laws re virginity were only imposed on women, not men.
Actually, there is no law against fornication per se in the Mosaic Law Code (please, correct me if I'm wrong). There are laws against sleeping with a virgin (damaging someone else's goods, as Nark brought out) and sleeping with someone else's wife (stealing someone else's goods) but there's no explicit prohibition against, for instance, a widow without family sleeping with an unmarried guy she's not related to, as long as she's not in her father's house (b/c she's once more her father's property and good for re-sale). Each of the laws restricting sex have to do with either woman's value as property, incest or controlling who the father of offspring is (adultery).
