  Q for Everybody, So let me get this str

  nobody here wants to lived in the new earth aka the coming earthly paradise?

  nothing in the bible is symbolic, because saying things that are symbolic in the bible, is like calling jehovah a liar, god would not write something like in the bible, then out of no where, it really means something else... example: 144,000, some people said's that's symbolic, lol yea right.... .

  anyway it seems like no one here wants to lived in the new earth, my question is why?

  @ Legendary U.2.K.
  
  what do you mean by "blinded by reality" ?
  does it make sense to ignore reality to be able to believe in a fantasy?
  what is your evidence that the revelation account is correct (or that any part of the bible is correct) ???

  to live in paradise sounds actually tempting. unfortunately there are 2 problems:
  1. it is a fantasy and nothing more!
  2. the paradise described by the org. would get really boring after the first 500 million years. imagine to live in a world where you don't do anything but farming (that is at least the only activity i have seen in the pictures about paradise). i think i rather cease to exist than work on a farm for all eternity.

  Calling all scientists

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i'm in my communications class and i'm listening to all the speeches.

  we have 2 christian fundamentalists in the class which was why i chose wicca as my topic.

  anyway, the first one gave a speech on how carbon 14 dating is a hoax because the isotope that they measure only has a full life of 50,000 years.

  @ Francois:
  you are right in theory, however normal samples do not contain enough C14 to extend the method for fossils older than about 40.000 years.

  C 14 has a half life of only about 5000 years. therefore it cannot be used to date really old fossils since too little C14 is left to get accurate readings. for fossils older than 30.000 - 40.000 years other dating methods are used.

  by Dutchie in

  2. friends

  so did the wtbts call jehovah a liar?.

  "jehovah's prophetic word through jesus christ is: 'this generation [of 1914] will by no means pass away until all things occur.

  ' (luke 21:32) and jehovah, who is the source of inspired and unfailing prophecy, will bring about the fulfillment.".
