huibers, a christian, used books 6-9 of genesis as his inspiration, following the instructions god gives noah down to the last cubit.
translating to modern measurements, huibers came up with a vessel that works out to a whopping 427 feet (130 meters) long, 95 feet (29 meters) across and 75 feet (23 meters) high.
story here.. .
My bet is on the Architect of the universe.... that he could design a a wooden chest that can float in the sea.
The "Architecting" is easy... lots of imagination and lines on paper.
When you get to the ENGINEERING of the damn thing is when stuff gets FUBAR real quick...
Do you make any distinction between the above terms?

Notwithstanding, this should put the naysayers to bed with their taunts that it is impossible to build an ARK that actually floats like the one described in the bible.
Yep, it would definitely float as 70,000 separate pieces of wood after the first 4 foot wave...

More fuel for us apostates to expose their lying azzes, 'cos we keeps our own copies
wow, did not think this was possible... the whole shepherd the flock - book available + some of the late boe letters regarding child abuse policies and secrecy, published here by nrk (the national broadcaster in norway).. http://www.nrk.no/contentfile/file/1.10660993!2010_ks10-e3vedl%20til%20slutt%20%282%29.pdf.
wonder how long it will be before it is removed?.
and jw being top story, child abuse matters discussed from different angles.. well done to those who have been able to make nrk interested and give it full coverage!.
I may have to eat my words, but DMCA (which the WT has used before to squash distribution of their super secret book) is strictly a US law...Not sure how they can just call up someone in Norway and deman the file to be taken down.
What is the "or else" in this case?
I see this file up there for a while...
ADD: Yeah, and my post 1111 just adds to the majic
well, i was just looking at the pinterest page ::eye roll:: of a current jw who's husband i once knew quite well additionally, we shared many "friends" in common.
anyway, posted to her "things for my wall" category is one of those "keep calm and..." memes and this one says, "keep calm and shun the non believers" to which a host of my former "friends" have added their 'lols' and 'ha ha ha's' and "yes!
" comments and, it just makes me rage.. i know it is stupid to go looking for trouble after all, why visit the public pages (facebook, pinterst, etc.
Keep Calm and Shun the Non Believers
You go, Sister!
And give Brooklyn all your time and money...
And then hold your breath for us to start giving a f#%k.
had 48 hours or so left when she finally got the therapy.
months later, no sign of cancer and she doesn't have hiv.
science wins again.
Was it approved by the GB?
i thought this quote on msn regarding all the interest in end of the world stuff because of today's date 12/12/12 and the 21st as the end of the mayan calendar.. "figuring out when it all comes crashing down isn't easy, though.
the jehovah's witnesses, for example, have predicted the end of the world at least four times, only to be forced to backtrack.

Holy Sh1t, who is Jonathan Berr and how does he get to link directly to JWFacts?
Paul (JWfacts), great job, mate, whether you had anything to do with the linking, or ole Jonathan is one of us here.
I would encourage everyone to go to the article and click through to the link to JWFacts. May give some traffic juice credibility to JWfacts.
help needed pretty please.. has any-one read this book "keep yourself in god's love" or got any critical notes on it?.
are there any big bloopers, contradictions, old light or anything i can discuss with him?.
he has almost finished it and so far thinks jehovah's witnesses are the only true religion and is now considering baptism.
I agree with BluesBrother. Have him cling onto the chart and ask the study conductor to deconstruct the chart and point out the inaccuracies.
As a condition to baptism, that is.
Obviously the JW knows it by heart and can spot a fake a mile away. So, tell us, Big Shot, what is fake about this one?
Then, hang him by his own words and free your friend in the process....
jw states: since the apostles made mistakes, it is okay for us to make mistakes as well".
is it the logical fallacy of "two wrongs make a right"?
the apostles were directed by god, the governing body is not.
Terry:
If it is the TRUTH...why do they keep changing it??
This is where they pull the Trump card:
"Truth does not change, only OUR UNDERSTANDING of it, as mere imperfect mortals, does".
See, they can have it both ways.
Of coursre, your understanding of their $h1t, as a mere imperfect mortal, has to be in a locked step with leadership....
folks, i am beside myself!.
mrs. called the jws a cult!
i, for certain, couldnt believe my ears at first.. quick background info first: mrs. is a second generation successfully faded jw.
Thanks for the comments, all!
It was really hard not to unleash the "nucilar" firepower once I saw the crack in the foundation. Thanks to many posters here, I have learned that you can only suggest things lightly and let people come to their own conclusions.
