  please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

  is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

  there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

  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.

  i think it's great.

  when i read posts on here i have to use a dictionary because of the high level of intellectual words yet, when i read a wtbts publication, i have to ignore all the bad grammar and punctuation!

  I kinda want to write a program that spits out random JW-speak. It doesn't have to mean anything, and that's the whole point.

  No, see, nonbelievers do have an explanation, and proof of that explanation. Your explanation is. . . The supernatural. Quaint.

  Have fun in the cult, Fisherman! Let me know when you get that judgment day tract.

  It's funny that you consider the supernatural to be verifiable.

  Let me ask you something, Fish.

  When your car breaks down, do you take it to a shaman?

  When your plumbing bursts, do you find a priest?

  When your employer fires you after you were hurt on the job, do you ask a psychic what to do?

  Of course not.

  You turn to people who study and practice for years in the field in which they specialize.

  Your belief flies against anthropology,biology, geology, paleontology... Wouldn't it be so much easier to defer to them?

  You understand that there's a conflict between the Bible and the observable world history, and yet you don't care.

  And that is my point.

  If a JW's child is sexually abused by a JW adult, the Elders won't investigate unless there is a second witness. Which of course doesn't generally happen with child abuse cases.
  

  This. So, believer, should this rule apply to child molestation? I'm genuinely curious.

  dinosaurs on the ark. ROFL.

  Thank you for making me laugh.

  You're welcome. That's Answers in Genesis in a nutshell. And that was your reference. By using their article, you're using it in your argument. Did you read it?

  According to the people who say there were dinosaurs on the Ark, the pyramids were built after the flood.

  If you agree that the pyramids were built after the flood, and if you agree that the flood was in 2370 BCE, then. . .

  
  

  See those little specks at the bottom? Those are people. There are more than 8 of them in the picture. 8 people can only do so much, and humans reproduce slowly.

  So how do you go from 8 people in 2370 BCE to the Great Pyramid of Giza?
