  Real Book titles

  i wonder if real book titles should be entitled according to our opinions?.

  eg.. plato's republic.

  i'd call it: some geezer in a toga mincing around a pond talking idealistic nonsense.

  on halloween night, police arrested two people who were dressed up individually as a battery and a firework rocket.

  they charged one and let the other off.. police in london are investigating the theft of dogs throughout the city.. they don't have any leads.. i found a large box filled with kodak 35 mm camera film, and handed it in to the police.. they said they'd let me know if there were any developments.. police recovered a valuable stolen microscope.. they say they're looking into it.. yorkshire police can't establish what's wrong with the sat-navs in their new fleet of squad cars.. they're still looking for leeds.. police are investigating the theft of a perpetual motion device.

  they say it's an ongoing inquiry.. the old ones are the best!

  Stan - the majority of readers on here are American--so don't get the jokes.

  There is a bit of a comedic divide. That's perhaps why I don't find American comedy shows or films (Ooops, movies as the Americans call them), particularly engaging.

  I find 'Friends' to be a snorefest of unfunny clowning around.

  On the other hand, I like the wit of George Carlin. Perhaps becasue I see it as more observant than clowning around.

  I don't believe our cousins across the water quite get or perhaps appreciate 'British banter'. They think we're being mean...........I could be wrong. I'd love to be wrong. Then I can be more sarcastic here.

  Does anybody ever wonder why ?

  supposedly, god jehovah, el , or whatever else he may have been called many thousands of years ago, or so the storys goes ,dealt with humans on a regular basis communicating with them for either good or bad.according to how they pleased him or displeased him.. so the bible record says.. how is it that god , jehovah or whatever other name you want to call him has not communicated with humans on any level for the past 2000 years ???.

  in this scientific ,technological age ,wouldn`t you think this would be the time he would communicate with the potential dangers we face in potentially destroying ourselves and ruining the planets wildlife unless he interveined ?.

  that`s if you even beleive that such a god actually exists .. and if he does why so silent in this day and age,?.

  winger - It's such a simple solution....

  God is either indifferent, incompetent or doesn't exist.

  ...and doesn't exist despite hoodwinked people trying to believe all that Bible nonsense into existence. To think, I used to believe all that stuff until I started to be honest and decide that an inconvenient truth is better than wilful ignorance.

  2013 New World Translation

  by Jerome56 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  on their website in the video "organizational accomplishments" watchtower devotes this segment to praising the superiority of the new world translation.

  about half way through, david splane relates the reason for a change in wording from the old 1984 nwt reference bible to the 2013 revised nwt.

  he said this was because of the recent discovery of an older manuscript that contained the greek word for overseer that was unavailable when the reference bible was being compiled.

  David Splane relates the reason for a change in wording

  David (Overlapping(TM)) Splane will fail to admit they're just mucking about with words to fit their own money making narrative. Rather than change their system to fit the Bible, they do it the other way around. They know what they're doing, too.

  Could this be The fallacy of equivocation?

  Glad I'm out of the cult.

  The Police are looking into the theft of toilet seats.

  They have nothing to go on.

  A prison van crashed into a cement mixer.

  The pigs police are looking for a bunch of hardened criminals.

  Not all that much. I all depends how you 'count time(tm)'.

  One old geezer went out door knocking for an hour but because it was raining, he said, 'I've made an effort. I'll count this as 2 hours.'

  Another deceased 'sister(tm)' used to put a report in for her son, an hour a month, despite him having buggered off years ago.

  It's like everything else in life...ALL FAKE and FICTION!

  I have noticed that with the Bible (which I do not believe is inspired but used as if it was), the further you go back in time, the weirder the stories are. As if by Chinese whispers.

  To be clear, I am not saying I believe in the time scale as a reality because it's all without evidence.

  I used to believe but now that I've taken stock, I am ashamed I ever did.

  God doesn't speak today because he never spoke in the past. It's all an illusion that has brought the Churches money and power.

  Believe this if you wish, but why?
