7 million sq. miles is a large area. Even if Noah wasn't in the center he could have still been too far away from land for a dove to rest. Maybe by the time the dove came back with an olive branch the ark had floated closer to the boundry. In fact that makes more sense because no olive tree could have survived the flood.

Did Moses and King Solomon smoke POT?
by Mindchild inholy smokes: did moses and king solomon smoke pot?.
working in the publishing business has its perks, and one of those is getting to see new releases of books that sometimes never land in the bookstores.
today, i happened to be reading through some product literature that i had put off for some time and discovered a book that was published a few months ago about the usage of drugs in the bible.

A while back I smoked some excellent weed at my brothers. It tasted like the "thi stick" of the seventies but was extremly smooth and had a great mellowing effect. No insane rushes going up my back! Here in Calif I found I could get a pound of this weed for $1,000. That's a little over $60 an ounce. Is that a good price? I haven't had weed in twenty years so I am not up on cost. What does primo weed cost in your part of the world?

I have worked in construction with bethelites in the past and they were all worthless. They stood around and talked and joked and took breaks every half hour. I don't mean to dis any of you on this board that were at Bethel(maybe you worked your asses off) but I feel that the Society maybe just getting rid of dead weight.

Joe,
The local flood of Mesopotamia was 7 million square miles. I doubt that a dove could have made it to the "boundery". An Albatross yes...a dove no.

Nice letter Shari,
You know the old saying "A leopard don't change his spots." If this guy can date several women at once he will most likely cheat on you once he makes a committment. I'm surprised you haven't hooked up with one of the good looking single apostate men on this board. I think apostates make great couples!

The Watchtower's "N" word.
by Lee Elder inthere is no word in watchtower speak (theocratise) that carries more emotional charge than apostate.
to be labeled an apostate is the lowest low worst than pond scum.
in jw thinking, there is more hope for a pedophile or a murderer than for an apostate.

Did Jesus Sin?
by KJV inhave you ever wondered why god dealt with man up until the first century c.e.
and then for the last 2,000 years we haven't heard from him?
could it be that god is upset with mankind for killing his son?

willy think,
You quoted Deuteronomy 27:26 where it says that whoever doesn't keep the Law is "cursed". The Jews were the only ones under obligation to keep the Law because of the covnent that God made with Abraham, so Goyim or the Gentiles wouldn't have been cursed for not keeping the Law because they were not under the Law. You said "By accepting the suffering due to our guilt Jesus enables our hearts to be opened up to having a true faith....". If we stick by your reasoning on the ransom, Jesus sacrifice would benefit only the Jews because only they would have guilt for not keeping the commandments of the Mosiac Law.
We could debate forever why Jesus said "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?", but I feel that we would have to have been there to really get the jist of why he said it. From an apologist view I think you gave a good answer. But answer me this: "Could" or "Did" Jesus sin? If he had sinned would have God destroyed the universe immediately, or would He have waited till now to destroy all of mankind?
Beans,
Who said I was sex starved? And besides, elders get plenty of sex.
