manuscript : knowledge book.

Hmmm.

What executive? What knowledge, specific, general, esoteric, gnostic or otherwise?

What kind of 'eternal life'?

Going by the first three chapters, this one will take a while to get going.

Alien: Romulus

by nicolaou in

i never start topics like this normally but this has really wound me up.

romulus is getting great reviews and i just don't understand it.

it was predictable, formulaic fanfiction.. it brought nothing new, quite the opposite in fact.

markweatherill

It's so 'meta' if you think about it. Big corporation tries to extract the essence of Alien, ends up in disaster.

Imaginary pitch meeting for Alien Romulus:

Exec: I got a great idea! Let's do Rogue One, but with Alien!
Studio head: Sounds good! Just don't do that Peter Cushing thing again, OK?
Exec: Oh but it'll be cool! Please??

The evidence that fluoride lowers IQ is stronger than what was thought

fluoride action network.

fan bulletin 997: new video: vyvyan howard's toronto presentation.

Surely the anti-fluoride lobby could raise a big enough donation to get Donald Trump to state conclusively that there's a link between fluoride and autism?

League of Nations as the disgusting thing that causes desolation

by xaminewt in

so, the organization says the “disgusting thing that causes desolation” in daniel 11:31 is the united nations being set up in 1945, but in daniel 12:11 when they interpret the 1,290 days they say it’s the league of nations in 1919. please could someone play devils advocate and tell why this could be anything but inconsistent?

Not to state the obvious, but the League of Nations was the precursor of the United Nations. So 'naturally' they amount to the same thing in Bible prophecy.

Interesting to imagine a resurrected Daniel in the new system looking at this stuff in amazement.

How would you rate the Watchtower approved songs?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i was asking why jws won't sing any church hymns even if they were doctrinally correct.

jws asked me in response if i would sing any of their songs.. dan watkins wrote .

its a hilarious misunderstanding, if it does not come from the watchtower bible and tract society, then it is effectively considered as coming from satan.

I think the answer to that would be,

"No, look what happened when Aled Jones sang 'Listen, Obey and be Blessed' "

Man in story: 'Is that The Man from JW Broadcasting?'

Stephen Lett: 'Am I a joke to you?'

Mark Sanderson generously thought up this whole scenario so that his captive audience realises just how modest, unassuming and humble he really is. 'The Man' indeed!

Would there, or would there not be, lawsuits if they took away the blood transfusion ban?

i have heard or read, many times by many exjw's, that the org does not remove the blood transfusion ban because it would be crippled by the resulting lawsuits the minute that "new light" was made official.i am not a lawyer, but i would like to know what legal opinion lawyers have on that.on what legal basis would there be a lawsuit?

"i am suing the watchtower because my relative died because of a rule they had but no longer have"?am i missing something?.
