i am sitting looking at genesis 10.. this relates to the thread that the "tower of babel built by babies".. i reckon by counting the sons, and then counting at least one wife to carry the next generation of named sons we can arrive at a fairly accurate head count.. chapter 11 is also useful here as it gives the age of certain men when they had named sons.. for example seth was 100 when he fathered apaxad.
in the next 500 years he could not have fathered a total of 500 children, so we need a reasonable estimate.. some of the breed ing stock was 35 before producing a son (11:12).
bear in mind also that the shemite line had fertility issues so were not as profuse as other lines through ham or japheth.. i fail to get a total of much over 300 people and that is being generous.
Depends on the time-frame I suppose, which I don't think is mentioned in Genesis at all. If you had 500 years and replenishing supply of 50 men, I'm sure you could build a respectable tower..
And where are you "collecting" these bricks from? Somebody's gotta make 'em..

You know, as much as some people absolutely hate Detroit, the amount of mental calm and toughness they demonstrate year after year (this is the 20th straight Detroit playoff appearance) is simply amazing.. I mean they got owned in the first period of tonight's game, and then calmly came back and rolled over Phoenix. They've showed it a few times in the regular season - down 4 goals against Pittsburg, storm back and steal a point.. NO game is ever out of reach of this team..

I swear Luongo has a curse on him.. he has to be the biggest choke artist when he's needed most.. hopefully that's just because he usually plays close to or way over 70 games. This year they had an actual reliable backup, so he played 60, and should be plenty rested.
so the society have a hedge fund, some(50%) shares in a usa company who specsialise in weapons delivery systems , has a shares portfolio that includes cigerettes.it buys up real estate in one of the worlds most lucerative locations ny,uses free labour to refurbish these properties along with its tax free status and then sells them on at a profit.it further extends it real estate portfolio by lending money at intrest ,for the building of more kh, again built with free labour and tax breaks, which are never owned by the cong,s who built them, but belong wts.
i am not an economist,though i would be hard pressed to come up with a better economic model than this, also it purports to be politically nuetral, so hopes to operate globally without restrictions, infact the (workers) have to pay the society ,by way of mag sales and donations, in order to give their free labour, no trade union protection or minimum wage.
g--gle, p--si,ya-oo, micro---t, would kill to have these advantages in the market place..
Where do you get $900 million a year in donations from? Seems a bit much.

50 men? Today, possibly. 5,000 years ago, or whenver the story is purported to take place? C'mon, they'd need way more than that.

True.. I mean they still have at least 3 pretty awesome players, but they are not the complete package they were last year.. are they enough to bounce the Presidents Trophy winners? I think not, but funny things happen in the playoffs..

@anony mous:.
you are definitely not keeping up to date with the current wtbts doctrine.. .
The sheer amounts of verbal diarrhea (literally) and the make-up of it that he spews makes me believe it could be so. Maybe someone can sweet talk Simon into seeing what IP a certain someone's account is connecting from. A traceroute to that IP would show at least the geographic area where it is located..

The Canucks and Blackhawks matchup is all mental. I'm not completely discounting Chicago, but I think the Canucks have it together this year. If Chicago hadn't bounced them the past 2 years and counting, the series would be over in 4-5 games tops. But, seeing as how the Blackhawks are probably in the 'Nucks head, the series might go 6 or even 7..

You should know that whatifsports.com has simulated the Cup, and Boston comes out over Vancouver in the end. But I still agree with you, Vancouver FTW!
james olsen and richaed wheellock both bethelites.. rich templet.
rich and james out of guilt, richard out of depression.. james and rich were both under 30 years old.. after richard wheelock (a bethel heavy) killed himself the society changed it's stand on whether suicides could be resurrectioned or not..
I know of only a few attempts, with none succeeding..
Does anyone have reliable data on the JW suicide numbers?
