so i'm reading the book "the atheist book of bible stories" and something just occurred to me.. noahs ark rested on the top of mount ararat.
how the hell did all the land animals, dinosaurs and other monsters get to ground level?
did noah and his family just push them off the mountain and hope for the best?
JM: God miraculously recreated the animals in places such as
since "jesus" said that the end of the world will be like Noah's day, , in that one's time he was just practising the resurrection as animal research for the major event coming soon, not later than 2075,
there is no end to their madness.
the co gave a talk on inspired error.
i have never heard of it.
On point No 3, : it was led into by the question: " If you hear somebody say: "well, I did not think My kids would go to school, but they did, [1976] , now my great grandchildren go to kindergarten--" well, would you not you picture a smiling senior bragging about his faithful years, his wisdom the pride to have passed on his genes, --but no, in wt's eyes, this is satanic, demon inspired error, because it projects the same scenario into the future.
Wt writers deliberately treat the R&F with contempt, at the same time gumming up their minds with these obfuscations, and sowing suspicion among all. Do these COs have a conscience or are they too dumb to realize the t{f)ools they are?
making your family that speak the truth, history,- to be viewed as purveyors of inspired error. apostate thought really-- good.
from a story in the jewish press:.
quote: "the city of david excavations of the jerusalem hebrew university on mount ophel, at the foot of the southern wall of the temple mount compound, have yielded a sensational discovery: a seal (bulla) with the name of king hezekiah (727-698 bce).".
"king hezekiahs bulla was discovered in a garbage heap that was dumped during or shortly after hezekiahs time, from a royal building that was used to store food.
Funkelstein: "That being said this supposed seal might have been devised as a usable seal to be used between one King to another, a seal of certification as it were, that a given message was realy from whom it was made and directed to. ?? Yeah, like the BC version* of the original evolving "red phone" system of emergency communication between Khrushchev and Kennedy. They shredded the document, but the stamped seal survived, let's test the material, whether it came from Egypt or Babylon. * or NS version
i took another look around the new website ( https://www.watchtowerbrooklynrealestate.com/ ).
first they have two properties listed here 124 columbia and 85 jay street.
these have to be worth a lot of money.
the samuel herd broadcasting about the layoff of fulltime wts employees, made me think about the gunter schabowski press conference in november 1989.. the correlations:.
- samuel and gunter read their message from paper.
uninterested, not enough informed.
this has been something that is bugging me lately-.
jehovah is all knowing.
he knows that to do away with evil, he has to do away with satan.
Saved_jw:-" The purpose of the flood was never to "Do away with evil" it was a just punishment according to his righteous standards"
wow, so the mass killings, near extinctions of the "flood" set a standard for today's war crimes?. Carpet bombing of civilians, Coventry, tokyo, ethnic cleansing?, Explains too, why prayers for help are not answered, "He" would not interfere when his righteous standards being applied.
It is like the wt writers on a monthly basis trotting out "david" as an example of a wt hero, family destroyer, murderer, adulterer, unrepentant until exposed, personally unpunished.

looks like wt didn't like getting schooled by angus on the no-witness rape in deut.. geoff later sent in a written statement:.
329 it was suggested to mr jackson that this scripture provided the basis for the governingbody not to apply the twowitness rule in the case of sexual abuse, or that it called into question the proper foundation to the twowitness rule in the case of sexual abuse.
mrjacksons answer was to say that the jehovahs witnesses believe that there is a properfoundation to the rule because of the number of times that it is emphasised in thescriptures.607 mr jackson did not say that there is no prospect of modifying theapplication of the twowitness rule within scriptural requirements so as to make itinapplicable to cases of sexual abuse.330 in a statement provided to the royal commission after the close of the public hearing,mr jackson offered an alternative explanation of deuteronomy 22:2327 to that whichhe had accepted in oral evidence.608 in his statement mr jackson explained that themans guilt had been judged at an earlier stage in deuteronomy, and that the referencedverses dealt only with establishing guilt (or absence thereof) on the part of thewoman.609 in his statement, mr jackson did not seek to explain the reason for thedifference between his oral and written evidence as to context of deuteronomy 22:2327.331 it is submitted that there is little utility in attempting to resolve the conflict between mrjacksons oral and his subsequent written evidence on the subject of the relevance ofdeuteronomy 22:2327 to the flexibility of the twowitness rule.however, it is open tothe royal commission to note the difficulty experienced by even a member of the governing body in arriving at an interpretation of deuteronomy 22:2327 which renders it irrelevant to the application of the twowitness rule.. .
@ prologos - Hahaha. I never took notice of the door. That's hilarious!! LOL
I think it was a tactic to thumb the nose at the commission, to show that they did not merit a dignified setting for the witness. this was an off -site event. wt managed.

May be the creator is not Jehovah, the rather limited personality cooked up in the Canaanite Region.
May be the creator is more like us in the sense, that as an eternal being he is already in the future, watching what evolves. watching the news of what happens as we move through time toward him.
Flood? too many facts found against farfetched fable.
