  “Do You Know the Time?” From WT Sept 2018

  by skin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a one page article in the current wt study mag, sept 2018 pg 22 with the title “do you know the time?”.

  in that article it describes a number of different ways you can say the time is 1:30. it goes on to say “there are even places where that same time could be expressed as “half two,” meaning 30 minutes before two”.

  what i would like to know is this, where in the world does “half 2” mean 1:30?

  At least the question wasn't followed up by "Is it later than you think?"

  Now that would really be a pointless question. :p

  Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

  in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

  banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

  When I first grasped the fact that banks do not have the money they lend you it's pulled from thin air and only becomes "money" once you have borrowed it I was gobsmacked.

  by Sanchy in

  in watching the latest video in the series "was it designed?

  " at tv-dot-jw-dot-org, i got to wondering why is it that watchtower hardly references scientist that are creationist.

  i know its only a minority from that group, but there are enough out there for them to reference from.

  The JWs I have spoken to on carts are completely ignorant as to how dinosaurs really became extinct or the time frame of when.

  I think finding a scientist or any academic who base their beliefs on evidence and facts lose their belief in fairy tales quite quickly and as more is known about how we got here a scientist with an imaginary friend becomes increasingly hard to find.

  We have a local fossil museum run by creationists and not a single quote is from this century and most are from pre moon landings. That is pretty damning evidence in itself.

  Please explain this...

  i'm looking for a creationist viewpoint on this video:.

  https://youtu.be/oetkajbg1ea.

  why was this creature created to behave the way it does?.

  I am sure the answer is something along the lines of our sin caused the creature's natural habitat to be lost or parasites evolved after the flood.

  There can be no justification of deliberately creating one species survival depending on the suffering of another's so whatever the answer the deluded creationist will never blame their all powerful and caring God.

  mostly we read about the regular holidays in the western world.

  now the other ones are also named, because some witnesses could be in doubt .

  I take CBD every day and without it my life is severely limited. I take it in oil form twice a day and vape it if I need a boost.
