" Who is an expert on "God"?"
Yes.
before man....before the adam/eve saga.......how would you explain the nature of life on earth in terms of sin?
millions of years passed before man and sin.
(let that sink in a few seconds.........).
" Who is an expert on "God"?"
Yes.
during the last three to four months, i have spent a great deal of time sinking my teeth into various critical biblical commentaries and lexicons.
naturally, after beginning to research "the truth about the truth" one of the most commonplace yet controversial arguments revolve around the "gentile times" doctrine (i.e.
the application of the seven times of daniel 4 from 607 b.c.e.
Don't worry Jeffro, FaceTheFacts will respawn very soon and a new 607 thread will appear.

" Not only that, but brain surgery on a brain which had nothing wrong with it..."
How do you know it didn't have anything wrong with it? Maybe it did. We don't know enough to determine with any sort of confidence whether or not something is wrong with a brain. We are not experts. Likewise, we should leave these "God" discussions up to the experts.

To me, this all seems like brain surgery....

Wow, these 607 threads get long, and they get long fast. I missed this entire thing.
It is interesting that FTF (or whoever he/she is) kept insisting that it was somehow OK for Ezra and Daniel to come around later and completely change the meaning of Jeremiah. It is the "new light" mentality taken to an extreme, right up to God Himself. As if it doesn't destroy the entire Christian theology (no matter what denomination) to have God instruct the Israelites with plain words, and yet, He never really meant it in the plain way it was stated. Rather, Daniel and Ezra have to come around later and make it clear that God meant those words to be taken in an opposite way.
Again, sounds like the new light mentality .. seems logical that God should be able to do this, after all, he does it with his modern organization. Things always change, back and forth, contradicting (not just progressively revealing) the previous teaching... and its all OK. That's just the way God does things....

there have been rumors about this craft for years, as well as strange sightings.. in addition, over the past week, a tv show that was shelved for 2 years was quietly put on air at 3am.
it claimed to interview a government employee who had detailed pictures of mars - far better than what nasa shows the public- together with testimony that the us has been to mars, using craft put together from technology gained from ufo crashes.
Those UFOs look like the ones Bush used to bring down the twin towers....
how would you react toward those family members that.
have treated you like you had leprosy.
for years didn,t.
I would look for next year's stats to show a 98% drop in membership.
a new article for those who are interested.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/patterson-on-the-line-watchtower-claims-that-paying-cash-bond-would-cause-immediate-irreparable-harm-and-hardship.

cedars.
Cedars, your articles are great. However, I would tend to agree with Calebs Airplane... they can't be that bad off. The phrase " immediate irreparable harm and hardship" is subjective. For example, it would do immediate and irreparable harm to me if I didn't get to have my coffee this morning....
i can be very emotional about certain things and when i heard about oompa, even though i don't know him i was sometimes in tears about it, i will miss his posts, what i want to do for oompa is to have a moment of silence for him, i know i don't post on here much am more of a lurker but also i want everyone else to have a moment of silence also for our friend and also for all the others who have committed suicide because of the watchtowers policys..
