The article ends with this:
There is no real basis for doubting the truthfulness of this historical account. It involves real people and real places.
Except that their is NO reason to believe it what so ever. No evidence at all really.
Some insist that Goliath could not have been that tall, but consider: In modern times, the tallest man documented was over 8 feet 11 inches (2.7 m) tall.
Now if anyone knows anything about the tallest man they are referring to - you would know that he would not have made a great warrior. Robert Wadllow suffered from a pituitary gland disorder, and that would not make him a mighty warrior, but a man who could hardly walk.
Also there is real disagreement to what the scripture says.
"Goliath's stature as described in various ancient manuscripts varies: the oldest manuscripts—the Dead Sea Scrolls text of Samuel, the 1st century historian Josephus, and the 4th century Septuagint manuscripts—all give his height as "four cubits and a span" (6 feet 9 inches or 2.06 metres) whereas the Masoretic Text gives this as "six cubits and a span" (9 feet 9 inches or 2.97 metres; Hebrew: שֵׁ֥שׁ אַמֹּ֖ות וָזָֽרֶת šêš ’ammōṯ wā-zāreṯ)"
Again another article asking you to believe something extraordinary without any evidence at all.
Funny the depiction below vs. what a real person would look like Goliath is really a GIANT whereas Robert is just a very tall man. Goliath seems as big as a T-Rex:)
NO NO NO NO

Drivel drivel drivel... BUT the SUBTEXT is all about - You Cant Blame Elders for there F-Ups - You Cant Blame the GB for their Many Many F-ups.
Thats all its about.
You just have to take it.
Shut up and sit down!
sometimes it's hard to know if our own experience of jws was typical and what features were peculiar to our own area or the individual jws we knew personally.
i was wondering if others experienced this among jws:.
a few times on the ministry, when we were working wealthy areas with large houses, some brothers and sisters would make the comment that they look forward to taking ownership of one of these big houses after armageddon, when the worldly people have vacated them.
Yes - mostly when I was younger.
Since for years now its been Pounded into to us that We Wont get to choose where we live or what we do.
That sounds like paradise :) right.
warning of a long boring post ahead.
i feel like i need to vent my story out, as i feel quite helpless at the moment.. i'm 31 year old, married, father of toddler with another one on the way, due later this month.
i've been serving as elder for about 4 years now in a south florida congregation.
Dude - you don't have to wait for ANY approval of your resignation!!!
You can tell they eders - this is my last day - and that's it!!!!
They can notify the CO and then make the announcement - but that decisions is 100% you - not them!
well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.
someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.
i just feel sad for my daughter.
By the way - denying it may not work since you came on and posted this after they told you the know it's you.
Kinda hard to now say oh - yea i guess the guy who really is pale.emperor must have gotten caught - what a coincidence.
watchtower has historically interpreted heb 4:12 as emphasizing the power of the holy scriptures to bring about changes in an individuals heart and actions.
most christian faiths take the "word of god" to mean jesus and his teachings.. now in the sept 2016 study wt we have new light!
its so clear now!
i did an examination of the one single article ever to address father's day since it's tomorrow here in the us.
the article covers both mother's day and father's day.
hope it's informative.. examination of “mother and father worship unscriptural”, the only article ever to address father’s day in any publication printed by the watchtower bible and tract society.
But nowhere in the Bible do we find that parents are to be worshiped...
Well talk about a giant leap:)
Is it common for kids to sacrifice animals on fathers or mothers day?
Though I would not like that - I would be awesome for my kids to build a Temple for me?
Preferably one with a 60 inch TV!
in catholic dominated countries many people are named after the messiah jesus , are their any that are named after his god jehovah / or yahweh ?
anywhere in the world ?.
i have only come across one , in america of all places.. his name was yahweh ben yahweh , and i don`t think he would be used as an example by the wt society.. google him.. has their been anybody else ?
I was in a store a few years ago and heard a woman calling out for "Jehovah" turned out it was her young son.
It was realy realy strange. I feel bad for the kid.
