'im really getting sick of eating this crap and i thought i'd just let you all know.
Celia,
Kraft dinner is a North American staple, as popular as haggis. It's noodles and powdered cheese sauce. Boil the noodles add milk and oleo, presto you can feed a family of 4 (so the box says) for under a buck. We always called it crap dinner in my house. Goes lousy with beer.

i raised this briefly in chat earlier today and i expect a similar response to this thread.. my opinion is that if you are religious/spiritual then you are mentally ill.
Maybe you're right Grave, but at least you're never alone when you're a schizophrenic.

Hey TR,
Not to make light of a serious situation but if anyone asks
you can always say its apostate cancer.

i know that the flood has been discussed ad-nauseum on this site, but i only just got a copy of the march 1, 2002 wt and figured i'd put my .
2cents worth in.
besides that with this posting i become a senior member so i thought i'd say something semi-intelligent for a change.. the wt with it's ever circular reasoning concludes that because so many societies have a flood myth, and because they all have many points in common, that this corroborates the bibles ancient testimony.. on page 4 of this wt, there is a chart denoting the similarities of many of these myths.

The WT with it's ever circular reasoning concludes that because so many societies have a flood myth, and because they all have many points in common, that this corroborates the Bibles ancient testimony.
On page 4 of this WT, there is a chart denoting the similarities of many of these myths. It is interesting to note that they have omitted the Sumerian flood myth in this chart(unless of course that is what they have listed as the Assyrian myth). The Sumerian account predates the Genesis account by nearly 1000 years. Using the same circular reasoning that th WT employs, I can claim that since all the other flood myths corroborate the facts included in the Sumerian myth, this makes the Sumerian tablets the cheif ource of this ancient wisom. All hail the Gods of Sumer.
The Sumerian tablets are included in the Epic of Gilgamesh(available on line and in many bookshops). These tablets recount the adventures of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk in Mesopotamia around 2000BC. Included in gilgamesh's tale is the story of the flood. The central character in this flood myth was Ziusudra (means he saw life), and many parts of this tale are included in the Genesis account. The most obvious case of plagiarism with the Genesis account is the sending of the dove.
Here is an interesting site:

One of the most interesting parts of this web site is the part How old was Noah. In here they claim that where the bible gets these ridiculous ages for these biblical people is due to an error in translation. He gos on to tell you what the error is and backtraces to find a more beleivable age for Noah, seth and methuselah. I've always found the WT explanation that they lived such long lives because they were closer to the perfect vitality of Adam, to be absolute hogwash.

These are some of my thoughts on the subject. Time to get another beer all this typing has made me tired.

this one is for those on this board that continue to read the bible.
i know there are many on here that dont.
i still do, though not very often, and i dont accept everything written as straight from the mouth of god.. one thing i discovered after leaving the witnesses was that the bible is actually an interesting document and not some terribly difficult tome that must be explained every step of the way.
Personally I like the Geneva Bible. It's so cumbersome and impracticle that I just can't leave home without it.

is it possible after researching the net on jw beliefs, background and reading apostate information that a jw would still research the bible and find watchtower teachings as truth?
(Is it possible after researching the net on JW beliefs, background and reading apostate information that a JW would still research the Bible and find Watchtower teachings as truth?)
This question basically relates to peoples interpretations of facts and what is truth. The old saying 'you can't see the forest for the
trees'. You might tell someone: Hey look there's a forest! and they answer back: Where, all I see are a bunch of trees.

Funny thought, it was attempted taxation by the King of France,that
put the Knights templar out of business. Maybe they're trying to do
the same with the witnesses. If it works, someone should let the people of Stratton know.

Sorry to hear TR. It'll be hard to vote for you if you're laid up.
Did you know that Ronny Raygun was the only sitting president to have
a part of his body removed while in office? They've got a section of
his colon on display at the Smithsonian. It's funny the things some people collect. Hope everything works out for you
