  I suspect the Oilers will be a serious Cup contender in about 3 years - a'la Pittsburgh. Granted, last and this years' draft pool is nowhere near as deep as when Malkin/Crosby was drafted, but their team is seriously looking pretty dangerous!

  Proclaimers book and Memorial question

  i got a text this morning from my 17 year old nephew.

  he told his parents last night that he didn't want to go to any more meetings and he was not attending the memorial because he doesn't believe the way jdubs believe.

  i'm not sure how his parents have responded.

  PSac : Agreed - I don't know how they reconcile John 6:48-58 with their teachings; not that i blame them - there is no way to reconcile LOL.

  The annual "JW memorial teachings vs actual Bible quotes"

  24 true, the son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the son of man is betrayed!

  26 as they continued eating, jesus took a loaf and, after saying a blessing, he broke it and, giving it to the disciples, he said: take, eat.

  19 they started to be grieved and to say to him one by one: it is not i, is it?

  The classic "Do this in remembrance of me," but then let us spend a full 45 minutes explaining why we should disobey Christ. Things that make you go "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

  Memorial

  i live in a gated mobile home park in california where no one is allowed to solicit door to door and today.

  i received a full page,handwritten invitation to the memorial, with the official tract printed by the watchtower.. it's a great way to get many hours of service just by staying in the comfort of your home but i'm wondering who's paying for postage, .

  .44cents per household...that could get pretty expensive since just in our park alone there are close to 700 homes!!!.

  If you could get your auxillary time in for $0.44 an hour (assuming you wrote one letter each hour - I know I could stretch it out that much), wouldn't you pay that? I sure would. Cheaper than gas at any rate..

  Genesis 10 - How many can you count up who built the Tower of Babel from these names??

  by hamsterbait in

  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.

  How can the WTS be short of money ?

  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.
