The writer of Noah's flood was familiar with a few animals like a horse, a dog, a mule, a camel, and a few others. That's why all the animals could fit in the Ark----according to HIS IMAGINATION.

Response to "The Flood is Real, Because ..."
by Simon ini remember one of the flowchart responses to people questioning the biblical flood was something along the lines that "every culture has a flood story".. of course, nearly everywhere has flooded at one time or another and we know there are minor floods and then there are the 1-in-1000 year kind of weather event, that tend to get a mention (anyone from the uk will still talk about the summer of '76, and that's probably nothing in comparison to a decent flood).. but the inference is that the flood must be real, because every culture has a flood story.. the best response is "now do dragons".. because apparently, nearly every culture also has a dragon legend.. does it mean dragons exist?
some desperate jw may show their ignorance by suggesting that man lived at the same time as dinosaurs and they are what the stories were based on.
fun fact: stegosaurus was a fossil when t-rex was alive for longer than it's been since t-rex has been a fossil to us - we're talking old, and no overlap (ignore the map in the cover of the old green bible).. do jws still even bother trying to defend the cray-cray aesop-fable kind of ot beliefs?.

Covid is making a comeback. Going back to the Kingdom Hall is becoming more of a Hope, (like Armageddon)
by pistolpete inif you have been keeping up with the news, many cities are seeing an uptick in covid cases.
mask mandates are being implemented in many cities.. many pimos are relating that their pimi parents and grandparents are scared to go back and are having a hard time following the elder's exhortation to attend the memorial, because it might be the last.. a lot of pimi's are saying; that it doesn't make logical sense for large groups of people to meet in a crowded building passing and touching emblems and wine glasses while covid is still around and vaccines have not prevented the death of many who still got the virus.
the elders keep reminding the sheeple that "we must obey,even if it doesn't make sense.".

On Saturday, the U.S. logged more than 62,000 new infections, bringing the nation's total known infections closer to 31 million, according to data from Johns Hopkins. Scientists are also closely tracking new variants of the virus as they emerge
States such as Michigan, Minnesota and Nebraska have been seeing particularly worrying upward trends in new infections. The disease has been creeping up steadily in places like Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware and Florida, too.
Globally, nearly 131 million cases have been documented, with nearly 3 million deaths since the outbreak began over a year ago.
The U.S. has seen nearly 555,000 deaths so far.

it's already happening...
NewsThe hall I grew up in... Already cancelled for the next few weeks due to a COVID outbreak. They could barely get through 1 week. Lol I'm so glad I'm not making this up. This is just too good to be true. As PIMO I wish it was my current hall but oh well.

Honestly I kinda expected this. Since the building itself is old and poorly ventilated, the venue was packed to the brim making it impossible to social distance, and everyone there was so gitty about being there and seeing everyone that they kinda forgot about the pandemic and made very close contact.
And to top it off I got an update text saying that they're still trying to go through with in person meetings! Like what the fuck. We were potentially a sight of a mass covid explosion and you're still going to try to go through with this? So much for Godly respect of life I guess. But they didn't say that the governing body is going to leave it up to the individual to decide whether or not they attend via zoom(as if they have any real authority over the individual's).

refrain from defending your faith."
So--Why do you believe 1914 is the beginning of the last days?
NO COMMENT.
Why do you refuse blood transfusions but accept blood fractions?

Why do you disfellowship AND SHUN members who don't want to worship the way you do?
NO COMMENT
Why do you believe ONLY YOU WILL BE SAVED?

Why not? Because something doesn't come from nothing.
Something or someone, had to start the whole physical Universe.
But whoever or whatever it was, that being is NOT the deity of the Bible, aka, Jehovah or Jesus.
Something OUTSIDE the physical Universe, (The material world of tangible or concrete existence; the natural elements, principles, and relations of the kind studied by the natural sciences,)-----had to create the atoms necessary to form Our Material Universe and all life in it.
What humans refuse to accept, is that the Universe and all life REFLECTS who this Creator is.
This Creator has no interest in being worshiped.
He has no compassion or empathy for Human or animal life
Life on earth, whether it comes from evolution or direct creation was created in such a manner that in order to survive, most animals and humans need to Kill another life to feed and sustain themselves.
Contrary to what Christians or others who believe that the Earth was created for us,
evidence shows that that the earth was Never created for us, we just happened to adapt to it in order to survive.
To prove that a God of Love and Compassion does not exist, just consider the evidence of Human and animal history.
"The path to modern humans is a massive experiment in failures and trial and error.
At least six times almost all of live on earth was wiped out in mass extinctions. 99.9% of all the species that ever lived have gone extinct. The ancestors of humans (in fact all mammals) only thrived because a meteor wiped out the dinosaurs leaving a niche for them to thrive.
Consider that virtually every creature that has ever lived - including 200,000 years of modern humans who suffered and grieved just like us - died of starvation, disease, exposure, parasites, infection or predation.
The history of life seems perfectly designed to maximize suffering and waste."
If we humans decide to get a nuclear war going for stupid reasons;
THE CREATOR IS NOT GOING TO GET INVOLVED AND SAVE HUMANITY.
HE PROBABLY HAS OTHER LIFE FORMS IN OTHER PLANETS BETTER THAN US.

Refuting the Alleged Evidence of Jesus' Resurrection
by truth_b_known inin the past few months there have been a few debates on this site over alleged evidence of the resurrection of jesus.
this can be a hot topic as most would agree that without the resurrection of jesus there would be no christianity.
i am not so sure of that, but i am more sure that dr. gary habermas' minimal facts approach to the resurrection has no evidentiary basis.. here is a 22 minute video on the topic.

He then said that Christianity (at least as people commonly think of it today) came to be when Paul combined the various ideas and preached the "Christ crucified" doctrine.

Sea Breeze, I don't see how your link about allegations about Carrier relates to the rest of the content of your post, thus why did you post that link?
It's called;
Argumentum ad hominem (argument directed at the person instead of the idea being debated). This is the error of
attacking the character
or motives of a person who has stated an idea, rather than the idea itself. The most obvious example of this fallacy is when one debater maligns the character of another debater
