  Thanks everyone! Paradise Earth: Day Zero had a huge spike over the past couple of days and cracked the Amazon top-100 for "alternate history" (whatever that is).

  If you read the book and enjoyed I would be EXTREMELY grateful if you took a couple of minutes to leave a review, no matter how small. Reviews are a major help to indie writers and improve rankings on websites.

  If you enjoyed Paradise Earth you might also enjoy Happiness: How to Find It. It is a romance about a young pioneer sister in a country congregation. It's hard to find love when there isn't many options. LOL. I've been putting it up for FREE online, a chapter a week since last July. There are two weeks left before the story finishes up. It isn't too late to catch up!

  Also my publisher is running a contest where you can win a signed copy of my new novel 'Paradise Earth: Day Zero' and an Amazon gift card.

  It involves photographing yourself in front of a Kingdom Hall with the cover of the book. LOL.

  The Tower of Babel based on plans of an ANTEDILUVIAN building?

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi guys ,i hope you can help here .i'm currently researching the tower of babel and the reasons for building it in the first place?

  could it be that nimrod had information or plans based on a pre-flood building ?

  bab+el=gate+god could it be an attempt to rebuild a pre-flood structure that served as the gates to the god's (whether materialised satan+demons) or base of angels on earth ?

  Yes.

  In the original state the earth had a fixed "sun" in the heaven made up of Saturn, Venus, and Mars. This is the original "trinity", father, mother, son. From the earth it gave the impression of the eye. Saturn was the bright outer disk, venus the colorful iris, and mars the dark pupil. This is where we get the idea of the "eye in the sky". Just below the earth raised up like a mountain, and then a beam of light connected heaven and earth, like a "ladder".

  Eventually the heavens broke up in a spectacular (and terrifying) manner. The structure of pyramids is a callback to this. Neb's tower of babel was not to "touch the heavens" per say, but rather the top was "the heavens". It is an attempt to build a religious symbol of what was lost.

  There are also echos of this in the Bible as well, especially in Revelation. Where "New Jerusalem" functions as a fixed sun above the holy mountain with a "stream" running down from it.

  Many of our symbols today also refer back to this. The winged sun disk, the steeple and cross, the Christmas tree, the caduceus, the washington monument, and on and on...

  Interesting District Convention News.....

  by Pyramid Scheme in

  i wanted to share some news from a family friend (he is my wt mole - still an elder, hates the shenanigans, but is still hanging on for all the reasons often discussed on this site) i know the various rumors have been discussed on here, and unfortunately the rumor about the conventions being eliminated weren't true!

  (what a burden on the jw community - financial hardship for a good portion of them, guilting people into actually quitting their job to attend, physically exhausting for many, etc...etc......).

  anyway, he told me that the district convention is being moved to 11 weekends at the jw-owned circuit assembly hall, and they are no longer planning on renting stadiums/large facilities in our area (northern ohio/southern michigan).

  Why pay a "worldly" convention center when donations could go to the Witness owned assembly hall and then voted to be passed on to the Society?
