these bible stories are too silly to be true.
take off your rose colored glasses and you will begin to see some great imagination, exaggeration and great story telling!.
telling !.
Jacob creating flocks of speckled sheep by having non-speckled sheep drink from a trough which had a speckled branch placed in it.
Yes, all the pure white sheep who drank from this trough went on to produce speckled sheep that he could keep.
The gene changing properties of a speckled branch.
Jacob should have filled the trough with insects as well, to give all of the sheep six legs. Sheesh.

No sweat alanv, I didn't read your comment as criticism, just someone wanting to point out something.
Yay, that's what we're all here for!

Hi Alanv, this list of countries came from a Google search of countries in Europe, nothing more sophisticated than that, hence my opening comment "countries which roughly constitute Europe".
The 2017 figures came from the list darkspilver helpfully compiled (thanks darkspilver!) and the 2016 figures are from the yearbook.
I had no agenda or preconception prior to compiling the list, so did not pick and choose countries in order to affirm a bias. I was simply looking for whether Europe seems to be stagnant, increasing or decreasing.

it's a fear-based religion, at its core.

1. Facts and the truth
the following is a qfr from the april, 2018 watchtower.
just a couple of articles back the organization was explaining how jws need to be encouraging and even when admonishing congregations jesus would start out with encouraging words.
we see none of this in the qfr, rather, it is heavy handed and legally incorrect.. why is it not permissible to post publications of jehovah’s witnesses on a personal website or on social media?.
WT April 2018 QFR By directing interested people to our official websites, we are connecting them with the one true source of spiritual food, “the faithful and discreet slave.”
How does this tie up with
Watchtower (Study Edition), February 2017, pg. 26:
Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food.
so i woke up this morning with nothing planned for the day.
i rolled out of bed around 9am and went to local mcky ds to get some breakfast, and lord and behold there was a group of jdubs sitting around eating and sipping on coffee, probable counting time.
anyway, i glanced over and recognized all of them and they glanced back at me.
They have become McWitnesses.
here are a couple of boes you might want.. .

St. George I'm sure those in Scotland and Northern Ireland will be delighted to have the opportunity to drive to Chelmsford, buy their hat and boots in order to work for the day before returning home satisfied
Just like the ministry then. Start on a nearby call, drive about for a few hours and end on a call back in town. Everyone self deceives by proudly giving Jehovah their time, but achieving precisely nothing.
i'm so thankful for sites such as this.
i realise it's our imperfection but god's organization is not always open to 'outside the box' thinkers such as ourselves.
i've been researching dinosaurs and god's reason for not preserving these beasts beyond the flood of noah's day.
TREG I've been researching dinosaurs and God's reason for not preserving these beasts beyond the flood of Noah's day.
So the Bible lies then. Noah was not instructed to preserve two of every kind at all. He was told to exclude certain animals to ensure their extinction.
Why does the Bible lie about this? What else has it lied about?
Maybe you don't "think outside the box" quite as much as you imagine you do.
sir simon,.
how many dozen bloody times do i have to do the capcha thing before i get in.

Do the poles constitute part of the roadsigns?
I had to log in just to ask this.
