  I have read several of Ehrman's books, and have enjoyed them all, with a gusto, even though some of them go over the same things then that is okay with me, memory rote sort of thing, puts them in my mind and makes them easier to recall. Nothing like a reminder that a book (bible) that is supposedly inerrant is so chock full of holes it resembles swiss cheese. OH we read ad enjoy or not. all have a good day.

  The real story about the tea party movement

  by lifeisgood in

  i started this thread because some people are telling lies in another thread about the tea party.. i am one of the volunteers that helps arrange and put on tea party rallies in southern mississippi.

  we do not have a membership roll.. we are not a political party.. we have one basic issue that we are addressing, which is: we want federal spending to be lower than federal revenues.

  we do not say how this is to be achieved.. some liars on this site are claiming that the tea parties are actively pushing to achieve the balanced budget by cutting only liberal policies.

  who was it that dominated congress those 30 years? Wasn't it taxes and more taxation that drove businesses overseas where it is cheaper to operate? whomever was at fault it is still time to balance the budget whomever is in charge.

  in the nwt it says at the back that matthew was written in 41ce.

  how do they base this, as i have read books by scholars that say it had to be much later.

  possibly in the 60's ce or even later.

  The Faithful and Discreet NOSTRADAMUS

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  would you believe the governing body of jehovah's witnesses has something in common with nostradamus?.

  nostradamus and fred franz wrote prophetically in seemingly specific words which were complicated and required belief and interpretation.. nostradamus came up with a pill to prevent the plague.

  fred franz came up with watchtower theolgoy that would prevent death at armageddon.. nostradamus used as his sources just about every seer, prophet, astrologer and biblical soothsayer he could work into a quatrain.. the gullible bought in and found "meaning".

  as you left for the house group, or after the meeting was over?

  I normally counted my time for the month on the first of the month, throw a dart at the calendar and whatever date it lands on is the amount of time turned in without of course wasting time doing it. Sounds fair don't you think?

  one thing I had always told my children, you follow Jesus' example of baptism, at least 30 yrs. old, and don't let anyone tell you different.
