" this is the man who made it all happen" type this in.. this is how the watchtower organization began!

Miller, Russell, et al tried to make the Bible relevant to a modern audience via the concept of types, which was an interpretational method used even by Jesus himself at times.
The current crop of leaders have adopted the notion that the Bible is written not just to the immediate audience, but to them personally
i realize some here are diehard democrats.
whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?
i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..
Looting is not a part of protesting, just like murder is not a part of arresting.
yes, there has been crime as long as we can remember.
under 8 years of obama, there was crime.
under 8 years of bush the younger, there was crime.
Something tells me you didn't live in a major Eastern city in the U.S. during the 1960's.
--Either that or you honestly don't remember names like Rap Brown, Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, etc.
The first time I ever heard the word, "Honkey," Brown was yelling on a bullhorn, "Get yourself a gun and kill yourself a Honkey."

The resurgence of populism.
The belief that the amateur bourgeois opinion of the high-school educated should reign supreme. The belief that a sweaty lumberjack contributes more to society then an architect or engineer.
It's a brave new world. A world where one can openly say right here on JWN that they admire the work of Hans Schweitzer and it doesn't even raise an eyebrow.
Why would it?
the ark encounter located in kentucky (opened in 2016) is a large representation of noah's ark based on the genesis flood narrative contained in the bible.
it is 510 feet (155 m) long, 85 feet (26 m) wide, and 51 feet (16 m) high.. .
genesis 6: 14 so make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
Some things require an explanation and others shimmer in the air all by themselves....

Any boat much larger than a canoe has to be pumped periodically to stay afloat.
In modern ships the biggest source of seepage is via the drive shaft. Water steadily trickles and sometimes even pours in and must be pumped out.
Wooden ships seep all over. Merchant ships in the 19th century had brass bilge pumps that took four men to operate. It was hard work.
The alleged size of Noah's Ark puts us way beyond a clipper ship, not just in terms of the amount of bilge water, but in terms of how high it would have had to be lifted.
We're talking pistons, crankshafts, rings, valves, reinforced hoses and an external power source that can spin at several horse power.
--Way beyond the scope of the story.
this is a requirement now in massachusetts.
children must get a flu shot by december 31. some allowances are made for religious reasons and health reasons.. personally, i don’t agree with the government making this mandatory.. what is your opinion?

Listener,
The biggest reason I am against it is that it doesn't allow the body to strengthen its own immune system.
How so? It's an active immunization.
i know i shouldn't--i tell myself this over and over--but i can't help peeking at these silly articles.
and then i see this and my head really starts hurting: so the gannet, if you don't know (and why would you?
) is a seabird that feeds on fish.
Another gaffe they've made in the past is referring to scavengers as, "Jehovah's natural sanitation squad"
And while this isn't really predation, it certainly isn't vegetarianism either..
i was not aware but just learned that is was queen victoria who was the first to get marries in white dress.
.
so, it is a worldly practice.... i assume jw's should reconsider whether they adopt / continue this worldly practice or keep away from it ... .
Pretty sure Mary, Queen of Scots and a few others had white weddings
when i go to facebook, they now have tons of vids showing crazy sounding racists men and women of all ages railing against blacks and other minorities.
.
is this for real?
But, but, but...
