No historical evidence for bronze age men living to 500yrs old?

by purrpurr in

the bible tells us that noah etc lived to 500yrs old as did many other characters who lived apparently to incredible years.. yet archaeological research tells us from looking at skeletons that have been dug up that the average lifespan was very short.

if a man got to the age of 50 they would have considered that quite an achievement.

when i was in i always wondered about this?

Wasn't there a kid in the bible that was getting weaned at like 8 or something?

Start your own Prince rumour!

by purrpurr in

i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.

the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.

so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?

Prince was one of the anointed and now is ready to unleash the Great Tribulation in his heavenly form...

Watchtower set for its biggest pay day, ever.

by pleaseresearch in

if this is true, and we will have to wait and see.

prince could give everything to the watchtower.

so that's his $300 million fortune.

He was 57...I am 40 and I have a will...he is a massive celebrity with a fortune...he had PA's, accountants, advisors etc.

They all would say to him that a will is a must.

The Daily Mail reported in a headline he had no will and that his next of kin, his crack addict sister inherits everything but if you read the article it said IF he had not made a will.

I'm pretty sure Prince's advisors made him have a will.

If you have not seen this clip about Prince from Kevin Smith watch it...it is brilliant.

Would it be right for the WT to accept the money since Prince made most of it from "music that is deemed not appropriate for a Christian"?

Especially if it stumbled others?

Prince was on the board of directors for the WTS

by Barrold Bonds in

jw
friends

i was talking with a friend of mine who knows a few people in the home department at bethel.

apparently, prince was, as i noted in the title, on the board of directors.

he apparently was sort of a silent partner or advisor in the whole thing.

What is it with this board and the recent spate of wind-up merchants?

This one is a cracker...

JC...when you chose the WT back in 1919 to represent your father just what criteria did you use to choose them?

Generation expiry date?

by pleaseresearch in

how long will it take for a jw to see that even the overlapping generation is wrong?.

the org waited and waited to see if their interpretation of it came true.

those alive in 1914 would still be alive obviously it didn't and jws have to believe in an overlapping generation.

Sanderson is the lynchpin. He apparently started partaking while Franz was still alive, and he is only age 50 now.

That doesn't equate to the WT article that states all the helpers are of the other sheep and Sanderson was a helper then when that article came out...which was after 92 when Franz died...the article says ALL helpers were other sheep meaning none of the current GB qualify as being in the second group that overlapped with the first because all of the current GB were helpers.
