what important point do we learn from the link ?

the watchtower bible and tract society pretends that the bible "really is gods inspired word" -the watchtower march 1, 2010 p. 4-7. but is it true?
if god has inspired the bible, how come the bible doesnt mention many important things?

so how do you explain the temperature graphs i gave in the beginning of this thread starting long before the industrial revolution? why is the temperature line arithmetic and not logarithmic? why does the line of increase now have the same slope almost as the line over a hundred years ago, give the pollution increase has not dpubled but increased by a favtor of at least ten. the world populkation is 7b, over a hundred years ago it was closer to half a billion. today we have millions upon millions of cars, planes , coal power stations for electricity, while in the 1850, none of these machines existed.
the charts are these for everyone too see, the challenge is can you show climate hange is because of man or mans output of carbon.

jesus we know about.. the echo of the first two has niggled at me for years.
... rahab was not a street walker, she was a holy women. all the prostitutes in jesus genealogy are not there too show lowly people thru faith qualified to be part of his family tree. it rather shows or boasts that some well known priestess was an anecstor. the story of hosea marrying a whore is actually the story of one preist marrying an important preistess. its notabout marryi g a sinful woman.
part of the judaic religion required screwing these temple prostitutes. we can see this in the laws that tell a man cannot have damaged balls or penis. unless they were screwing how would they knmow if a man entering the church was damaged.
read up on wiki for the keywords i have covered, its all easy to verify.

why is the quote you mention funny ?
im not defending zeitgeist but i find it troubling how you accept the nt with all its mistakes and requirement to interpretation but you dont give an inch when examining zeitgeist. part of the problem is you use a twentyfirst century understanding of words when reading z. people in those days thought very differently. when we see virgin we only think of a wman who has not had sex. in olden days virgin was also a title as in these women were holy and connected to the gods. sex was very much a part of religion in the past, we see it all the time in the language of the bible. when the writer says the jews were whoring for other gods, its literal. when you went to the temples ypu also screwed the holy prostitutes.
the word holy in hebrew , i hope i get this right, qadesh, is also the root for holy prostitute.
this is an honest question on my part.
someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.
in fact, it was a turning point for me.
thomas was a god. the story is more about how all gods and deities are required to submit to the main god - the sun jesus. thomas=tammuz. thomas doubting is not unique that particular storyline has been acted out before.

love the statements without backing quotes.
king david and solomon only exist in egypt. do a search for --pharoah solomon-- and watch the bible story come alive in the story of amenhotep iii.
caves also represent death or obviously darkness. the story of the hero emerging from thge cave or some dark place like a stable is the story of the sun emerging from the dark of the night. there are also a few key dark areas in the constellations around the zodiac. many bible stories include these spots as the hero travels about the stars.
the june 2012 awake has another article on the exile of the jews by the babylonians.
once again the wt quotes dishonestly.. .
from page 14:.
im surprised you csnt be sued for making false quotations like the original post gives. in england the land of liable im surprised no one sues the wts there for liable, after all isnt this sort of representation completely wrong.

know that i know a bit more about saviour gods and mythology i can see why the wts insists jc died on a stake or tree and not a cross. there are just too many gods born of virgins on the winter solstice who die on a cross. in the end does it really matter if jc died on a cross or whatever, after all we dont even know what year he was born or how long he ministered.
