Yes, I agree it was pretty shoddy. When I saw it, well, it really gave me the creeps.
And people complain about Arnie films and all the killing! Well, the Noah story involves everybody on the planet getting wasted!

It's the first sign of madness when you start talking to yourself. And it's a sign of advanced madness when you start posting to yourself.

At the sevice meeting tonight we were given special counsel not to "abuse complimentary breakfast provisions" at the hotel we are staying at during the convention. So I am going to be taking an extra large suit jacket with me to breakfast every morning and fill every darn pocket with croissants, blueberry muffins and pecan danishes. Then at lunch I will empty them out on the seats around me and scoff each of them one by one.
What a rebel I am. I'm just dangerous to know!

Thanks Seedy!
Well, I couldn't let this one go! Here's what the Insight book says about the Numbers 13:33 scripture:Insight Book 1 929
"The faithless spies reported to the Israelites that in Canaan they "saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who are from the Nephilim; so that we became in our own eyes like grasshoppers, and the same way we became in their eyes." (Numbers 13:33) These men of extraordinary size, called the sons of Anak (probably meaning "Long-Necked [that is, of tall stature]"), were not actually Nephilim, as reported, but were only unusually tall men, for the Nephilim, the offspring of angels and women (Genesis 6:4), perished in the Flood."
Insight Book 2 Page 493
Did the spies deliberately lie about this sighting of the Nephilim to be mischievous? Or did they genuinely think that this was the case?"No doubt there were some large men in Canaan, as other scriptures show, but never except in this "bad report," which was carefully couched in language designed to strike terror and cause panic among the Israelites, are they called Nephilim."
Was it just their imagination playing tricks? Was it that they just saw some unusually big dudes hanging around Canaan?
Nephilim are pretty unmistakable – not only to look at, but also with their behavior. Did the bible writer expect us to know that they weren't really Nephilim, or was he a bit confused over his own chronology? This was supposedly the same writer (Moses) that wrote the Genesis account – you would have expected him to elucidate a bit more here to save confusion.
The FDS have an answer for everything, not always a satisfactory answer, but an answer nonetheless! I wonder how many other bible accounts can be explained away by the "Oh, they must have been mistaken / Oh, they must have been lying" tack?

What do you believe in after "The Truth&qu...

Faith in God is intertwined in faith in the bible and it's message. Jehovah's Witnesses believe in the absolute infallibility of the bible as the supreme word of God, right from Genesis to Revelation.
My study of the bible however has made me firmly believe that if there is a God, he wouldn't be writing such trash. Even Jeffrey Archer writes more believable stories. If he is not responsible for it, then how is he communicating to us here on Earth? He doesn't seem to be.
After a long wretched lifetime as a Jehovah's Witness, I must say at the moment that I do not believe in a loving God at all.

Who Mediates?
by Englishman inas most jws no longer have jesus as their mediator, how do they conclude their prayers?.
......and so, dear father, we approach you now in the name of the 144,000. amen?.
i only recently became aware of this change where jesus is mediator to just a select few.

It always amuses me that God should be so petty as to ignore any heartfelt entreaty toward him unless something resembling "through Jesus Christ" is mentioned at some time during the prayer, but as we all know this is the teaching that is drummed into us from birth!
