The Holy Bible proves its inspired accuracy again...

by Derrick in

again and again the holy bible has proven its inspired historic accuracy.

check this out:

http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/package.jsp?name=fte/biblicaltunnel/biblicaltunnel

The news item Derrick posted says the tunnel "was built in 700 B.C. by order of King Hezekiah". Jehovah's Witnesses' book Insight on the Scriptures (1988), vol. 1, page 1102 says Hezekiah was "King of Judah, 745-717 B.C.E.". The news item contradicts Jehovah's Witnesses' chronology.

The news item Derrick posted says:

"By using radiocarbon testing to analyze the age of stalactite samples from the ceiling of the Siloam Tunnel and plant material recovered from its plaster floor, the biblical record and the tunnel's age have been confirmed, the researchers wrote in the journal Nature. The Siloam Tunnel is the one built by King Hezekiah."

An article from the Discovery Channel on the same tunnel says "Hezekiah (727-698 B.C.)" and:

"Radiocarbon-dating at a laboratory at Oxford University put the age of the wood sample at between 822-796 B.C., and that of two plant samples at 790-760 B.C. and 690-540 B.C. respectively."

None of these datings fall inside the period of Hezekiah's rule (727-698 B.C.). How can they claim that "the biblical record and the tunnel's age have been confirmed"?

«Last year in New Jersey, U.S.A., two 15-year-old boys brutally killed a family’s pet Labrador dog named Princess. "It was a sacrifice for Satan," they claimed. They held the dog up by her chain, kicked her to death, ripped her tongue out and used it in a satanic ritual. They impaled the mutilated body of the dog on a large metal hook and hung it in a neighbor’s yard. Satanic markings were found on the dog’s head, and a pentagram (a five-pointed star in a circle—a Satanic symbol) was etched on the ground beneath the dog’s body. On the night of the killing, they were listening to Deicide (which means murder of God), a death-metal band, whose lead singer boasts of torturing and killing animals.» (Awake! September 22, 1994, pp. 7-8: Satanism’s Handmaidens—Drugs and Heavy-Metal Music)

«A WILD-EYED, long-haired young man stands before an audience of cheering, chanting fans. He takes a bucketful of animal blood and entrails and dumps it over the first few rows. The fans laugh, wipe the stuff on themselves, and throw chunks at one another. This scene, according to Florida’s St. Petersburg Times, took place at a rock concert by a band called Deicide, which means ‘the killing of a god.’ This kind of music is called death metal, supposedly the most extreme form of heavy-metal rock. In recent years it has become more popular in Florida and internationally, ever since the success of an album entitled Scream Bloody Gore, by a band called Death. The band Deicide is led by an avowed Satanist who claims to have hated God ever since a car accident left him with a J-shaped scar, which he is certain stands for either Jesus or Jehovah. He claims to hear voices urging him to kill himself, and he has burned a satanic symbol into his own forehead.» (Awake! July 8, 1992, p. 31: Death Metal—What’s the Message?)

WT instructs JWs to buy Introvigne book!

by Osarsif in

how massimo introvigne turned the jehovah's witnesses into his salesmen

the italian watch tower society, hardly known for its appreciation for "objective sociology", urges its followers to buy copies of a book by massimo introvigne, providing instructions on how to place mass orders with another alleanza cattolica member (a right-wing group), bypassing the bookshops.

not surprisingly, the book happens to be a new edition of an older book on the jehovah's witnesses, systematically purged this time -- as we can see from a comparative table -- of any information that the hierarchy of the group might find not to its taste.
