i mentioned that the dc in our area featured a talk where the speaker, as an illustration of endurance, mentioned methusaleh, the bristlecone pine that had lived for 4700+ years.
i asked here for some possible explanations of this that allow for the wt flood dating.
i had assumed that the standard response would be that the dating of the tree was wrong, that the rings had gotten doubled a few times or something.
Moxy,
the flood story was a metaphor.
do you know what happens to a pine forest when beavers build a dam in the middle of it? the trees die within a cupple weeks even if it's just the roots covered by the water.

Is it possible to use logical form to answer a question, yet still come up with an illogical answer?
illogical answer. no
incorrect answer. yes
if the info. entered into the equation is incorrect the answer will be incorrect but the logic may be sound.
maybe it will interest some.... "microsoft corporation supports its employees philanthropy by matching employee donations up to $12,000 per employee per year to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
through its matching gifts program, microsoft donated at least $5,000 in cash and/or $25,000 in software (retail value) to the following organizations.
(donations to religious organizations are restricted to secular community service programs.
"Many people equate the word ``daemon'' with the word ``demon,'' implying some kind of Satanic connection between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. ``Daemon'' is actually a much older form of ``demon''; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's character or personality. The ancient Greeks' concept of a ``personal daemon'' was similar to the modern concept of a ``guardian angel'' --- ``eudaemonia'' is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons." (p403)
just clicked the demon in the lower right.
looks like the WT have a ``guardian angel''
"Many people equate the word ``daemon'' with the word ``demon,''
do you think the pic helps people "equate"
false worship..from the holman concise bible dictionary:.
"the primary forms of false worship are addressed in the decalogue (ex.20): exlusive loyalty and worship of yahweh (v 3); imageless spiritual worship (v 4 ); honor in all of life the god whose name the hebrews claimed and bore (v 7).
false worship includes trusting in military power (isa.
".(Jer. 25:7), serving God in order to recieve physical and material blessings..."
ya
but if you are serving the WT in order to recieve physical and material blessings..........it's ok right?
if you were granted to speak 100 words or less before the g.b.
and entire bethel family what would you say?
( all right maybe more than 100 words).
why speak to them? thay govern nobody.
looks like some folks in mexico would rather live with "suspected kidnappers" than jehovah's witnesses.
"state negotiators arriving in the area said the locals refused to let the officials go until arrest warrants against the suspects were canceled.
locals also demanded that two devoutly religious jehovah's witness families be forced to leave san cristobal for 'causing religious unrest.'.
Ringleaders told police officials by telephone that the suspected kidnappers are innocent and that they are only being sought by authorities because they are Indian, Lopez said.
(there are a few black americans who can relate to that)
State negotiators arriving in the area said the locals refused to let the officials go until arrest warrants against the suspects were canceled. Locals also demanded that two devoutly religious Jehovah's Witness families be forced to leave San Cristobal for "causing religious unrest."
Violent religious conflicts are not uncommon in rural Mexico, where small groups of people anger their Catholic neighbors by converting to Protestant religions.
JW's are protestant?
gee call a couple hundred thousand of your neighbors "cannibal papists" or "idle worshipping child molesters" and thay get mad?? wow now that is surprising
here is a clue: don't persecute people if your in the minority.

we can look to the mexican army scam.(bribery, to dodge military service)
we can look at how the WT told its people to leave ther bibles home and pretend the the KH was a social club scam(to dodge taxes)
we can look at how the WT claims that DF does not break family ties(PR scam)
could it be the WT misrepresented itself??? it has been done befor. it will be done again. one con is as good as another.

one of the basic tenets of the wt org.
has been the establishment of a one world government.. you may have noticed news reports today on the g8 summit in italy and the demonstrations and riots associated with it.
there have also been lots of other public discord at some of the earlier international summits like the wto conference in seattle wash.last year.
the Masons (illumati) have been runing the WT from the beginning.
i've seen the goats hidden in the WT pics.(the mark of the beast)
i'v seen the satanic right of rejecting the christ (the memorial)
if your ready look look it up. break out your old WTs and look at the pics.
i have seen the christ lowered to an angel (michael) who was afraid of satan.
i have seen god lowered to a space man who lives on some star, i forget it's name, but my brother pointed to in and said thats "heven that star there."
i have heard JWs say it is bad to worship jesus. it is wrong to read the bible with out the WT.
i have heard JWs say that the bible is the only place to get the truth, at the same time thay say to reject jesus's teachings from the bible because thay weren't meant for the likes of us. (not annointed)
i have read in the WT the things jesus said like the old, noone gets to the farther but through jesus. only thay say it's the WT thay will take you to the farther.
what i have never seen was any kind of worship in a KH.
what i have seen was sales "meetings" in a KH.

really simple question for the fundys.
why is god invisible?
If God were visible, he would be a product of creation.
"If God were visible, we'd go looking for an invisible God, and we'd never be able to find one so we'd be all frustrated and brokenhearted and die."
hay....isn't that how it is now??? maby he is visible!!! i'm going to look under my bed......no he's not there just the boogy man
