  How can we be alien, when we evolved here, like everything else did? There is a fairly solid chain of descendent evidence leading down from human, right back to some bugs, or something.

  thinking

  ' I been out for like 10 years and to this day i have trouble saying the words "jehovah's witness." I avoid the subject all the time and i get weirded out when people say it. I have no clue why.'

  Well, youve only been here less than a yr. Its possible that your sensitivity level will go down. Jehovah is like a huge snarling lion, that is about a mile high, who is said to be sitting on the earth, somewhere. Only problem is, nobody can see him. After a while, his size goes down. After a longer while, you realise hes just a little smurf type of little guy w a temper. Further, down the road, he simply pops out of existence, and you realize that he was merely something planted in your imagination, w fear and guilt. He never really existed, at all.

  Can't get any bibles?

  by gold_C in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so according to people in every congregation i've mentionned it to, the slave isn't producing any more bibles.

  at first i thought that they were going to release an updated translation, like the updated brochures that were given at the latest convention, but that didn't happen, and everyone from the branch claims that there is "a reason for it", yet they're being extremely secretive.. .

  can anyone who's got ties to bethel help me out here?

  I'm on the Stage Const. Crew - Here at the Arena right now!!!

  after lunch i will be the guy nail gunning the plywood letters to the top part of the stage.

  so when i get to the word truth, i am going to mutter "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit....etc" the whole time i'm nailing the letters, obviously very quietly to myself.

  ;-) that way when i am listening to the bs tomorrow, i can smile to myself knowing the letters have been properly christened!

  Ouch! It would be funny if one or 2 of the letters weren't nailed down that good, and fell down during a session;)

  What evidence is there for the miracles of the Bible OUTSIDE of the Bible?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok. this is something i've wondered about.. people of certain religions tend to use their own holy book as evidence for things in itself.

  this seems very circular to me.

  using the book to prove the book in my view is pointless.. i am not aware of any of the 'miracles' of the bible or the quran as having any substantial evidence outside of themselves to give credibility to the books themselves.. has anyone come across such evidence?.

  All extrabiblical evidence was expunged by satan. The only reason that the miracles are recounted in the nt, is cuz god protected the nt;)

  Yet another Septuagint manuscript using the divine name found

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  larry hurtado mentioned on his blog that yet another early manuscript of the septuagint has been found that uses the divine name instead of lord (kurios), this time representing the divine name with ancient hebrew letters (yhwh) in what is the earliest extant copy of the psalms in greek.

  hurtado argues that the use of the definite article before the divine name indicates that the manuscript relies on earlier copies that used lord (kurios), but the fact remains that all the earliest copies of the septuagint that have survived use some form of the divine name and none use lord (kurios) as a substitute.

  that's about ten out of ten for manuscripts of the septuagint earlier than mid-second century c.e so far.. http://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/new-oxyrhynchus-manuscripts/.

  That simply goes w the trend of the time. Judaism started out in polythiesm. They needed a name to differentiate their god from the others. As monotheism became more firmly established in judaism, the need for a name became obsolete, the name redundent. Christianity was fully montheistic, from its start, ergo, no name needed for god.

  North American Natives, a 20,000 year legacy

  by designs in

  1. social
  2. current

  a team have been testing the mitochondrial dna, maternal side, of three native tribes from the bristish columbia region against bodies from 6,000-2,500 years ago and have found matches to living persons from the nisga, tsimshian, and haida tribes.

  the skeletons came from dodge island.

  one of the 6000 year old skeletons matched dna from a 10,000 year old skeleton from the same region.

  Since we fall under the animal classification, we would be fauna, scientifically speaking.
