Chinese Rocket Falling to Earth
by Simon inas if the chinese haven't already done enough to the world recently, they have now let a 22 ton rocket go out of control and start falling to earth.
it's going 18,000 miles an hour and no one knows where it's going to hit but if it isn't water then it might leave a scuff mark.. the good news it is shouldn't be canada, as we're too far north.. the bad news is, well ... are you in canada or the same latitude or more north?.
chances are it will hit the pacific, but it's 2021 and the way things are going it could hit a major population area.. if it does hit anywhere with lots of people, i hope it twats the shit out of beijing..

Why did Jehovah Kill all the animals in the flood? What purpose did it serve??
by pistolpete insome of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.
"in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".
i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.

I searched for clues in the Bible.
My stepbrother is doing exactly the same thing. He's already read the entire bible in two weeks. Said it took him a little over 100 hrs. He is doing it again to see if he missed something about why Jah would do such a thing.
On a side note, many people around the world feel the same way about how animals are treated. For about two years scientist have been working on creating meat using stem cells from animals. The main reason for this is because they want to eventually STOP all the killing of animals just to feed humans.
Kind of interesting that some humans have more compassion for animals than the bible god that they are willing to spend their whole life trying to figure out how to end the suffering of animals

Some of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.
The stepbrother that posed that question told me;
"In all these years of being a jw, I actually never gave it much thought as to why Jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil."
I keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by Jehovah. I can't come up with a good reason why a God of love would do that and it's messing me up. I haven't slept for days just trying to figure out why Jehovah did this.
Was there really no way Jehovah could have just killed the wicked without hurting the millions of innocent animals???
Nothing makes sense anymore.
The Jw family that is still hanging on couldn't answer the question.

I don't understand why there is even baldness in men.
In my family every male has a full head of hair, including my 90 year old grandfather on my mother's side. On top of that his hair is not all grey but salt and pepper like. We laugh because he keeps his hair shoulder length. We ask him why not cut it and he says, "It keeps me alive" LOL!
On the other hand I have ONE brother who went completely bald by age 25. And it has made him bitter to the max that all of us have all our hair, but he was the Only one who lost all his hair. Couldn't even wait till he at least got to age 50.
Every time we get together he rants on this over and over. We don't know what to say but try to comfort him anyway we can.
On top of that, to add more wood to the fire, he is short and all of us boys are over 6ft tall.
I have no idea why he got the short end of the stick. I wish there was something I could do for him.

Disillusioned JW
If you are saying that Licona has moved towards a theologically modernist view, one more in line with agnosticism and atheism
That’s not what I’m saying. Instead, what I assumed that everyone knew, is that Belief in the Bible being inerrant by Bible Scholars has changed considerably. It’s not a matter of a line drawn in the sand anymore. In other words, either you believe the Bible is inerrant or you don’t.
Bible Scholarly Criticism has become a lot more complex than just 15-20 years ago. Whereas in the past, if you believed like Licona that “Some Parts” of the Bible like Matthew 27 regarding the saints was allegory,------ well that just couldn’t happen because it conflicted with Christianity’s Scholarly Belief—At that particular time. That would automatically put you on the side of either agnostic or atheist, which was not acceptable. Which is why Licona got so much heat for his dubious comment, by other evangelists.
What was happening at that time, that we can now see-----was evolution in Bible Criticism!
Now for the first time you could “Publicly have a man like Licona who believe that the Bible was not inerrant BUT, still believed the Bible was God’s word. Others Scholars sided with Licona in his block busting view.
Today there are many Scholars who like Licona believe some of the thing written in the bible are not true but SOME ARE. And thus they still feel the bible is God’s word.
Some like Bart Ehrman believe Jesus was a real person and certain locations and events might have happen, but he doesn’t believe it is God’s Inspired Word.
So what has happen since the late 20 century, and early twenty-first century, is that biblical criticism has been influenced by a wide range of additional academic disciplines and theoretical perspectives. This has led to a transformation from either you believe the bible is God’s inspired word without any mistakes or you don’t-----To----You can believe or not believe, what you want of the bible ----and still have the choice of either accepting it as God’s inspired word or Not.
In the past, there was no room for anything in-between---but today there is.
On top of that, in the 90s when the internet became public, Globalization brought a broader spectrum of ideas and worldviews into the field of bible criticism as well as other academic disciplines, including Near Eastern studies, psychology, cultural anthropology and sociology, which formed new methods of biblical criticism such as social scientific criticism and psychological biblical criticism.
At the same time post-modernism and post-critical interpretation began questioning whether biblical criticism had a role and function at all.
With these new methods came new goals, as biblical criticism moved from the historical to the literary, and its basic premise changed from NEUTRAL JUDGMENT TO A RECOGNITION OF VARIOUS BIASES the reader would bring to the study of the texts.

But the main reason Licona was criticized by many leading evangelicals back in 2011 was because he basically said that the resurrection in Matthew was not literal, and Licona questioned the inerrancy of the Bible. That being the case, anything coming from his mouth regarding the Bible was now in question considering he admitted the bible contain many false mistakes.regarding Licona's acknowledged belief in ghosts and in demons, a great many of his fellow Christians believe in such
Addressing this crisis, a group of leading evangelicals met in Chicago in 1978 under the auspices of the International Council on Biblical inerrancy to adopt what became known as The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. Basically they condemned Licona for his views that he put in his book questioning the Bible’s inerrancy. They asked him to renounce what he said in his book.
The problem was that any Christian who read Licona’s new book would read the statement where he defiantly says the bible is NOT INERRANT! This coming from a revered Bible Scholar.
That was some 10 years ago and saying the bible was NOT INERRANT was taken differently than today. Today many Bible scholars agree the bible is Not Inerrant.
