sorry if this has been discussed before but on quora someone asked if rutherford had said that dinosaurs had been taken to venus .
i assume that the questioner had heard it somewhere and wanted to check it out.
i've never come across this before is it true ?
Wow, that is really out there.
One thing about the Golden Age quotations that I have noticed is that some of the most outrageous ideas found their way into the Golden Age. Whether they were official WT dogma, commonly believed ideas among the JW/Bible Students, or simply the rogue rant of the Golden Age editor (Clayton Woodworth), I would like to know.
fyi: not sure if new message notifications are working right now, seeing a lot of errors in the logs.. investigating ....
I just today received two pms that were sent 16 days ago. No problem, I used to work for the USPS, so 16 days is fast!
'sins of the father', a recent book by lily dunn, whose father joined the rajneesh cult in the '70s.
an interesting perspective of an intelligent woman who struggled with the issues of having a distant and separated parent in a destructive cult.
worth a bit of time to view the interview:.

there's an article posted by william dalton at the andover townsman on steven t. byington, translator of the bible in living english.
there are some interesting tidbits about the man which i didn't know, including the fact that he was an anarchist!.
you might want to head over to the comboxes, because there's only me (with a neutral post) and a couple of rah-rah jw posts.
I was in Andover MA about ten years ago and visited the historical society there. I donated a copy of Byington's Bible to their historical documents library. They seemed pleased to get it.
as some of you might recall, i self-published a novel last fall.
i hoped “armageddon’s disciples” would be successful as my previous works (an alternate history trilogy) had done well.
not so with “disciples.” i’ve sold a total of nine copies.
Jeff, I received your book today. Autographed too! Give me a couple of weeks to read and digest it and I'll PM you.
has anybody watched this series ?
i didn`t know anything about it and was hooked after watching the first episode of seven .. a 19 year old stanford girl elizabeth holmes forms her own company of which she is ceo ,becomes a billionaire in a short time featured on the cover of fortune magazine and forbes claiming to revolutionize the health of everyone using her invention........but never comes up with the goods .
i think you will be hooked as i was..
I've been reading about it and watching some youtube videos. Somehow I was only vaguely aware of it back in 2015 when it hit the news, but now I find the story compelling. It's interesting how she was committed to following this dream, but the whole concept was flawed from the beginning. A case study in deception, both self-deception and deception of the investors.

I watched the entire video. I'll be really interested to read how the story develops. I subscribe to BAR (Biblical Archaeology Review), and I'm sure there will be articles about this.
I came away with the impression that there will be significant criticism concerning the find. It was found in a rubbish pile of debris thrown away from a previous (1980's) excavation of the site, so it was not found in situ. That alone will really call it into question.
I've known a few, and liked all of them. But many of their beliefs are crazy-out-there. Pure Bunk. They still believe that the American Indians are descendents of the Israelites who fled Jerusalem at its destruction, got on boats, travelled across the oceans, landed on the American continent somewhere (differing opinions on where that landing occurred). Totally made up.
Edited to add: I might have some of the details wrong, but I don't have the patience to look it up.
