I've read some about how Jesus became God (after becoming Christ...) and it's all very interesting to see how the theology JWs so despise developed.

Arguing with Witnesses vs Trinitarians
by schnell ini have always been told as a jw that trinitarians, particularly baptists, are just the worst people to argue with out in service.
i have always been told it was the world with a veil over their eyes.
the hypocritical irony is that so many witnesses are completely stubborn and willing to believe in magic before they believe anything against their dogma.

Why is religion in general so obsessed with what people choose to do with their willies and vaginas?
by jambon1 inwhat was it in the evolution of religion that got them so hung up about what people do with their genitalia?.
i mean, the (mis)use of genitalia is up there with murdering another human being in terms of badness.. and in the 21st century, we have a situation where in the jw religion, it's deemed as acceptable for three middle aged/old men to sit a teenage girl down and ask her the details of her use of her genitals.
to any normal person this is intrusive, completely inappropriate and bordering on deviancy.. why they so obsessed?.

Interesting subject.
I always go pro-education rather than Christian morality. My best friend became a baby daddy at 18 and was basically ostracized for it, while all the sympathy went to his ex, the mother. Morality splits people up.

So I'll take this opportunity to say that when I ask a pointed, simple question over and over, I am jabbing away to make a point. So, I apologize if it bothers anyone else, or everyone else, but I will punch away until it fucking hurts. Until the JW is forced to say their ridiculous rationalization. I'll do it for posterity even, if it means making the text of their statement searchable and quotable for the rest of the Internet.

Given your method, or Van's, what is the population in the lifetime of Peleg?

PS: If you follow Genesis chronology from 2370 BCE, Peleg lived from 2269 to 2030 BCE. (Gee, I wonder what the population was then.) That's your range for the Tower of Babel under Nimrod, which is supposed to precede all other human empires.
Have fun with that.

Tell me. What is the logic of a detective working backwards from the solution?
You show up to a crime scene and your chief tells you it's a suicide. Your department requires that it's a suicide. People's jobs are on the line if it's not a suicide, including your own.
But you find clear forensic evidence that it's a homicide. In fact, you find experts examining the evidence who agree that it's a homicide. Do you ignore it? Do you ignore unfavorable evidence or rationalize it with the supernatural? Or do you just call it what it is?
Do you believe in blind faith?

The problem isn't the population today, and that hasn't been my question. That can even be worked out mathematically by going backwards. That's where the assumption that population doubles every 150 years comes from. It does not take into account die-offs, plagues, wars, boons, etc. It assumes, simply, an upwards curve in the population over time.
A small town population of 3000 people, Fisherman? Including young, old, sick, weak, and dead?
The problem is that you're looking at world history through a fun house mirror, and ignoring all the signs of civilization around the world. The very fact that you had multiple empires at this time contradicts your calculated population. The presence of culture in far more distant areas, like China and the Americas, further contradicts it.
The alternative explanation is that there was already a huge population on earth, with patches of advancing culture and evidence left over for anthropologists and archeologists today.
