  @Dutch-Scientist : well i already told you i am not a JW, and that crap talk of an earthly paradise is in no means biblical, the bible clearly states the destruction of this earth, so I feel really bad for all the Jw's out there who think they are really going to be living on a paradise earth eating and driking and wearing nice clothes, they are practically delluded.

  @Nicholas :

  Genesis 6:15 in the Bible tells us the Ark's dimensions were at least 135 meters long (300 cubits), 22.5 meters wide (50 cubits), and 13.5 meters high (30 cubits). That's 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high! It could have been larger, because several larger-sized cubits were used. But the 45-centimeter (18-inch) cubit is long enough to show the enormous size of the Ark.

  (A cubit was the length of a man's arm from fingertips to elbow.)

  Noah's Ark was three stories high (Genesis 6:16). Its total deck area was equivalent to the area of about 20 standard college basketball courts or 36 lawn tennis courts. The world had to wait until AD 1884 before the Ark's size was exceeded, when the Italian liner Eturia was built.

  The rectangular dimensions of the Ark show an advanced design in ship-building. Its length of six times its width and 10 times its height would have made it amazingly stable on the ocean. Remember it was made more for floating than sailing, because it wasn't headed anywhere. The Ark was made to withstand a turbulent ocean voyage, not to be at a certain place at a certain time.

  perhaps something like this :

  

  again, let me point out that the ark wasnt made for travel, it was meant to just float on the water, and since it was the rain which lifted the ark i bet it was gradual,

  and talking about the food issue , please know that this was meant to be done for just a period of time, its different from having to work at the zoo which is permanent.

  perhaps you forget that all they did back then was farming(sherperds and famers) so they pretty much were knowledgeable about taking care of and feeding animals.

  @Nicholas : thanks so much buddy, u had me read though the account of the flood in a way i have never done before and boy am i glad i did, i mean all the accuracy and all. now to breaking down of points.

  * Gen 6:14 Make an ark of cyprus timbers. You shall make rooms in the ark. And you shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.

  - This marks the beginning of the creation of the ark, i dont know what is about the Cyprus timbers but i am certain it was pretty neccesary for an ark that huge.

  * Gen 6:15 And this is the way you shall make it. The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it shall be fifty cubits and its height thirty cubits.
  Gen 6:16 You shall make a window in the ark, and you shall finish it above to a cubit. And you shall set the door of the ark in the side of it. You shall make it with lower, second and third stories.

  - And this is basically defining the specifications of the ark, and bear in mind that is was three ( 3) stories.

  * Gen 6:19 And you shall bring into the ark two of every kind, of every living thing of all flesh, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
  Gen 6:20 Two of every kind shall come to you to keep them alive; of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind.
  Gen 6:21 And take for yourself all food that is eaten, and you shall gather for yourself. And it shall be for food, for you and for them.

  - Now, one interesting thing here is that, Noah didn't have to go out in search of creatures, he was only supposed to direct them into the ark. God himself orchaestrated the leading of animals the ark. And it was only the terrestrial and ariel animals that were gathered into the ark. the rest could live in the water. Noah and him family were to gather food for themselves and the animals too, which is possible.

  * Gen 7:2 You shall take with you every clean animal by sevens, the male and female. And take two of the animals that are not clean, the male and female.
  Gen 7:3 Also take of the fowls of the air by sevens, the male and the female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

  - So here we realize that, Noah had to take in some animals my sevens which is seven set of two (7 x 2), and others he had to take only a pair of.

  Going forward, the ark didnt have to be moved manually or be steered, scienece proves that wood cannot to submerged in water, and Noah's ark was covered all over with wood, again the flood was supposed to lift the ark, so just like a canoe or boat floats on water the ark was also on top of the water for all the time it was raining and also for the period of time the water covered the earth.

  * Gen 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
  Gen 8:2 Also the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and rain from heaven was restrained.
  Gen 8:3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually. And after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.
  Gen 8:4 And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
  Gen 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. And the tops of the mountains were seen in the tenth month on the first day of the month.

  - So this accounts for the period after the rains had stopped and how the waters are drained (cosult your science books to know how, evaporation and all)

  I dont know how difficult it is to grasp this, i mean if you looked at it from a science point of view, from the creation of the ark to the time and how how the waters drained back its all POSSIBLE. Science only proves God and an intelligent creator.

  let me know what you have to say about this, and bring up any points or topics you like okay, all i know is the Bible is believble and truth worthy.

  @Nicholas : well i dont think i need to read any book about evolution, cos i have already got my facts from the Bible. it suprises me that people are quickly to judge without any investigation. I would also suggest you find time to study the Bible, then you would know how accurate it is. i have always wondered why there has not been a single visible product of evolution still in existence, i mean just go through the tremendous lot of creatures they brought up, and even the sea creatures, how could they all be destroyed when most of them were monstrous and all.

  We all believe what we want to, and at the end we would all be accountable. Let me know what flaws you find in the Bible, i am always open to truth and facts and the bible has never been proven wrong. Good luck.

  I am certaingly not a JW but if u say science disproves the Bible then well i guess u are premmy much disinformed, and you have to take the Bible's word for what it is and not what someone says it is. Try all u want, the Bible is 100% acurate.

  I mean with all these talks of evolution, have you wondered how long man has lived on this earth, and if we really evolved into this state why is it taking us too long to continue oue evolution, i would even think we should have been like angels by now, growing wings and all, but wait, i mean not a channe right?...Yep i thought so.

  U dont have to be a JW to believe in an intelligent design, just look around you. Do u think a Pc would have evolved on its own with any random components, or do you think a computer program can be coded to do a specific taskt if you just typed some giberrish stuff?.. NO?....you know better..

  Every man made device that have existed was build on design, and yet you deny that we are different, which is really pathetic.

  And guess what?.. the Bible never stated that the world was created in 7 (24 hrs) man days. Next time get your facts straight.

  Evolution is a Hoax. Period , i mean have you taught about why till date there has not been documentaions about evolving amimals. i would love them to show me a fish evovling in a toad or some other reptile...NO?....hmmm.... i though so.

  i have been studying with jw's.

  Word of advice.

  You only acknowledge that they have the truth because you have accepted what say as being truthful, but believe me they aren't. i have realised that one way they use this:

  when you start learning with them, dont leave and questions to be anwered later, most of the time they tell you to relax and wait till you get to that topic, NO , dont agree. by the time u get there they would have already convinced u.

  again i would recommend a KJV bible or most other publications but not theirs.

  Read the scriptures oftenly and by yourself, and pray the God for enlightenment, do research and comparisms on Bible texts to make sure the all agree and in context.

  just let me know about any topic you would like to discuss and lets learn from Gods word, not some WT publication.

  Mediator for Great Crowd?

  by waiting in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  sorry no scriptures are quoted, i'm at work - but for all you that are diligent, i'm the owner and i can be on the web when i feel like it!.

  i have been reading, a lot.

  again, why do we pray through jesus, if he is not our mediator?

  I have always had a problem with JW's for not acknowledging Jesus, i mean they always say christians should pray ONLY to Jehovah in Jesus' name. From what i have i observed about them, they treat Jesus like someone they can equate themselves to, which is very serious cos Jesus is supposed to be our mediator and intercessor ( Jehovah > Jesus < Man).

  No man on earth has ever seen God, we only know Jesus his son, and he is the one we should be looking to, so that he would in turn plead on our behalve.

  Just imagine how you would feel if you had a very wealthy father, and this poor fellow u introduced to your father (because u wanted to help him) now want to get rid of you and deal with your father directly . i bet u will be angry, so guess what Jesus would feel about all JW's who have been thought to ignore and disrespect him.

  Jesus himself said in Joh_14:14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. so where from that JW crap that u cant pray to Jesus.?

  I’m wondering who it was that really answered this prayer. Because if this woman really received a truly accurate understanding of the Bible, she would understand that the Garden of Eden and Global Flood stories were purely allegorical and literary – not the JW fantasy of them being real historical accounts.

  can u ellaborate on this?, i am not a JW but as far as i am concerned the Garden of Eden and the Great Flood during Noah's time we both REAL and PHYSICAL as anything can ever be.

  Why JWs Often Have a Hard Time Thinking For Themselves

  by Jeremy C in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today, cedars had a really good post on a questions from readers article in which the watchtower instructs jws to consult the watchtower library index when they have questions on personal matters.

  the watchtower article explained that the branch cannot answer all personal inquiries that come into their offices.

  this post got me thinking about an area that i gave a lot of thought to prior to; and after leaving the organization.

  if i was considered a sheep or taught to act like a sheep then i would by no means think for myself, i would definitely look to my sherperd. Thats exactly how JW's act, i mean aren't they suppposed to be faithful and discrete slaves (sheep) of the WT org?...

  I am pretty certain almost all JW's are spiritually dead, if not how can they ingore simple Biblical truths and yet hold fast to doctrines which run counter clockwise to the Bible.

  I have met and argued with enough JW in my lifetime( i am only 22) to know that they are freakingly programmed and dumbed down to fulfil the purpose of the WT org.

  And for a clean consciene the me talk about the rock star poster, the Bible is pretty strict about what a christian can do and cannot do, if there is one tool the devil is capable of briging the world into the church with, then its music. i have realised that people who tend to have very different beliefs are often bound by music. i mean almost 99% of Jw's i know listen to profane musice ( hip pop, soul music, heavy metal, u name it) and yet they are really not bothered about it, yet they criticize others very much forgetting where the err at.

  just know that light and darkness dont mix, God and baal dont mix, so if you are a christian then u are supposed to live like one, i am certain God would not want us singing the devils music or have his posters in our rooms. so consider all the rock and pop stars as the devils agents ( which they are) then it wouldnt be so hard to keep away from them.

  I personnaly consider them as being programmed. I mean can you imagine after reasoning from the scriptures with a couple of these guys about how we are going to be changed to spirit beings to attain imortality (1Co 15:35 - 47, 1Co 15:50, 1Co 15:49 ,1Co 15:51 - 52 , i could go on and on) these guys would simply not listen.

  i am certain they have been lied to that they may lose their salvation(which is a normal life on earth with only righteous people) should they deviate from the WT teachings.

  it amazes me how people would deny something which is set plain before their eyes, only spirits can do something ass that. and with that i am sure cult comes into mind.
