Yaaaaaaawwwwwwnn!
and?
jesus was not born on december 25. that is not his birthday.
why is this day observed as jesus's birthday?
because some christians thought it was fine to mingle christianity with paganism.
Yaaaaaaawwwwwwnn!
and?
.
if noah's flood was global, how come lots of people r pagan?.
doesn't it sound reasonable that they could have a relapse into paganism so soon after the flood?
According to scientists and archeologists, there is heaps of evidence around the world that show civilizations flourishing on or about the same time the "global" flood took place.
Particularly, the Mayan civilization.
Although I am not a scholar-far from it- it is unreasonable to deny these facts and finds. We can all sit here and say that every find that archeoligists make is tainted by anti-Jw apostates, but that would be rediculous even for the most well intentioned Jdub.
The flood was local; remember these Nephilim (if this is what you believe in) were in a particulararea. Unless they beat Columbus to the "New World" there would be no need to flood the entire globe.
It would be like using 12 cans of roach spray on a single baby roach. Is your God that ilogical?
Or was he like " F@#k it, just lets flood the whole damn thing!"?

egypt;5 dynasty.
1st lagash dynasty;2500-2350. y is there no break in the 5th dynasty if a world-wide flood(tm) took place)?
I just saw a special on the Discovery channel 2 weeks or so ago about the flood and the Ark.
The scientist analyzing all the evidence came to the conclusion that there was a flood but that it came from the red sea spilling over.
They took mini-subs under the sea and disvovered that there were roads and evidence of towns and villages. They also found the place where the sea would have overflowed and why.
The conclusion was that the writer of the passage in the bible knew only his area; he had not traveled the "world" so when he said there was a worldwide flood, to him that was true because his village WAS the world.
It was a very interesting documentary..too bad I didnt take notes.

Coqui,
Eres Boriqua?
Yo me encuentro en NYC tambien y hace 4 anos mi esposa y yo junto con mi hija nos fuimos de esa religion. Yo era Siervo, y pase la mil y una.
But it was worth it. I dont answer to stupid elders who have no life experience. There was this young punk who was made elder at 24, he did not have any kids, no wife not even a girl, and he was trying to counsel me on my marriage!!
If you D'A yourself, then your basically saying that you are still under their control and still follow their rules as to how to leave the Org.
No vayas mas y que se jodan'! Elloos van hablar de cualquier manera, D'A, or D'FD or if you just drift, los testigos son el grupo reliogioso mas chismoso que en mi vida yo he conocido.

those of you still attending meetings are/will be in a position to provide more specifics as to exact wording and tone.
my information comes second-hand from one who attended the tms/sm last night.
i was not there and did not personally hear the letter read (and did not wish to press too insistently for details).
Amnesian:
Although its true that the purchase of these videos is on a donation basis, it is also true that the WTS keeps records of how many videos is sold to each congo. and how much $$ that congo. sent to the WWW fund. If the WT doesnt recieve most of what they spent back, they will notify the congo.....at least thats what they used to do 3-4 years ago when I was running the numbers ( I mean keeping their books!) for my cong.
I remember a cong. in New Jersey got a letter saying that they were ordering to many specialized items and that the WT did not recieve enough from them in WWW funds.
So the WT just sent them a bill for over 2 grand!
So, it could be also that they need $$, I wouldnt put it past them

these are the results of a poll taken on friday, september 13, 2002, by yougov:.
do you support or oppose a un deadline to let arms inspectors back into iraq?.
don't know: 1%.. oppose: 4%.. support 95%.. if inspectors are not allowed back in, would you support or oppose un-backed military action?.
BluesB. said
"Sadam may be a tyrant, but the world is full of tyrants. He has not ventured outside of his borders for eleven years so what justification is there for attacking Iraq at this point in time?
If USA/GB go for him they will be the aggressor and morally wrong"
Saddam controls the 4th largest army in the world. He is not only a tyrant he is a lunatic. You can't have someone with his track record holding on to this kind of power and even more so if he finishes his nuclear projects.
Justification is obvious. Its easy for you to sit in front of your computer and spew foward all your ignorant comments.
I was there 12 years ago, I know what he's capable of and what he's up to.
If something is not done now, the world will regret it later.
But of course you wouldnt care much being that your at home all nice and cozy warm, with the US military protecting YOUR freedom while some third world country gets invaded or even worse nuked.
The UN is like a police department, if you dont comply with the international laws that have been made and enforced, then simply stated, you'll go to jail.
There is nothing wrong with keeping that big crack smoking bully who likes to carry a 357 under his shirt off your block...is there?
the history channel had a spt.
11 show on last night, and most of it was the same ol' same ol'---but something did catch my attention.. video was being shown of people evacuating lower manhattan, and the brooklyn bridge was filled to capacity with people.. the voice over says, "people fled every way they could--they streamed across the bridge to brooklyn.".
now, i'm wondering, if you had just left ground zero and you were one of the ones runningon the bridge--and you saw a big sign that said--.
Talking about the Brooklyn Bridge, there was a 911 call placed about 1hr an a 1/2 ago about a jumper.
Sure enough there he was a "floater" as they're known once they die and float upriver.
There was an empty bottle of wine and some of his clothes on the ledge.
I wonder if he jumped looking at the WT building and thinking how they never ever did anything for him.

P.S. Hey Lis' how yoo doin'?
" we are the cause of our destruction *(it's quoted different in the bible) / i believe that 9/11 was a bad day, we cry & mourn & move on, we get over it, i got over 9/11 in under 24 hours & to be honest i'm sick of hearing about it.... now i also understand that millions was not paying attention before 9/11 & they still aint paying attention.. if people would wake the hell up and read the bible they would already know that god already warn us to listen to him, and be on guard 24/7 cause that devil which we call satan exist and on the move to overthrow billions........ where is your faith?
jesus clearly said that not to sorrow for the dead, cause they will get resurrected when the messiah comes back- john 5 verse 28,29.. so get over it and heed jesus words....
Legendary,
You're full of shit and know nothing but what the WT wants you to know. You cant compare a burning house to 1.2 million tons of steel coming crashing down with people still in it going the wrong way.
Its more the devestation, the selflessness of people just trying to do their jobs and getting nothing but a coffin for their efforts and the people who were just trying to work in those buildings that make it sad.
Its not the amount of people that passed, but what it all means. Yes we got over it and life here in NYC goes on. People will still push you out of their way without saying "excuse me". We still have the retards that when cops arrive at a scene will call us pigs or insist the "we think we're all that".
Jesus died for all of humanity, right? Have you forgotten that? No, I don't think you have and you shouldnt either.
Same here pal.
Get over it? Yes, we did. Forget? Never.

i've been ok. working mandatory 12 hour shifts.....but everything is suprisingly quite.. even with the normal 911 calls....it was not the same today.
(of course the day is not over).
could new yorkers be behaving?......
Mike M,
No you are not obligated to get out of their way. First of all its illegal for them to have lights and sirens in their vehicles. Most of them get away with it because they belong to a "volunteer ambulance corps". This is the "police force" you see. They have all their permits for their "ambluance corps" so we really cant get in their way unless they decide to pull people over and play cops.
The jews in NYC they care of themselves and its no question that they control the city.
As a matter fo fact, there was even a special response team created within the NYPD call "HOW".
The precints with jewish communities get one. For example in washington heights their call name is "3-4 HOW"
Meaning House Of Worship. This is s special task force that although takes regular calls, are first to respond to any threat made to a local jewish church!
Now how unfair is that? Every other religion is screwed exepct them.
Politics...dont you just love it!!
