  12,000-Year-Old Bones Found in Kansas

  i thought the following was an interesting story.

  i note that it seems there are some in the world who use an accuracy error to completely discount the carbon 14 to carbon 12 ratio when dating materials.

  please note that when reading the following story, the carbon 14 dating has a particular "accuracy error".

  could be the nail in the coffin to the Clovis First model,

  Pray tell dear, to the unitiated, what is the Clovis First Model, and is it something WTS uses to put forth their own arguments?

  you see this from time to time that the society will quote a reference or commentator with out actually giving a reference.

  the book study tonight has two such statements.. *** cl chap.

  Good work Mineralogist. Yes that is one of the reasons for NOT quoting the source.

  One reference work explains that the verb ra·cham´ "expresses a deep and tender feeling of compassion, such as is aroused by the sight of weakness or suffering in those that are dear to us or need our help."

  The other reason is it's because it's what a previous WT writer had stated in an earlier publication. They like to quote themselves, as if they were a souce of previous wisdom. Wouldn't surpise me to fond that statement in previous WTS Shiterature.

  Looking to Convert...

  i'm not currently a jehovah's witness, although maybe i am (?).

  my father was a devout jehovah's witness, and he intended on indoctrinating me in the faith as i grew up...however, my mother took me away from him when i was 4 years old, and i haven't been able to find him since (i contacted the main hq in new york, but he couldn't be found anywhere).

  i have read numerous books and articles which i've got from the watchtower store, and have read this website, www.watchtower.org and been involved in the yahoo!

  Swyven Welcome. Couldn't help but notice that the first 4 letters of your IP spell TraP. I would take that as a sign.

  Perhaps your father is on this site.

  And as a previous poster stated. Do not confuse becoming a JW with trying to locate your father. There are many more viable way of attempting to do that, than offering yourself as a human sacrifice the cult know as "Jehovah's Witnesses"

  It is obvious that jehovahs witnesses are not proud of their religion.

  one could rightly expect, considering the urgency of the times, and the need 'to preach the good news of the kingdomtm' before the end arrives, that jws would be doing all they could to encourage 'like-heartedtm' ones along to their place of worship/study/meeting (or whatever they wish to call their kingdom hallstm).

  instead, from my observations, they are doing their best to make the halls as uninviting as possible.. the case in point.

  several days ago i drove past the front entrance to the fairly new kingdom hall in ballina where i spent my formative years in 'the truthtm'.

  I too find it strange there is not a large sign indicating it as a KH. I always thought that was a WTS mandatory requirement.

  However when the last new hall was built in our area, it was some time before the sign went up, as it had to be customed made of stone/brick, similar to a tombstone.

  In the garden of Eden walked Adam,
  alone and a trifle forlorn.
  For he hadn't a miss or a madam,
  and he whimpered every morn.
  
  "What's the matter with you?" said Jehovah
  "I've given you Eden you know,
  and now that you've looked the place over,
  I thought you'd be rarin' to go."
  
  "That's all very well, " muttered Adam.
  "but there isn't a soul except me,
  and talking out loud is a tad 'um -
  eccentric, don't you see?"
  
  So the Lord God thought for a second.
  Then he said, "Okay, just for you,
  I'll make up a mate, for I reckon
  that will give you something to do."
  
  Now Adam was really excited,
  and asked what this mate would do,
  and as God explained, he was delighted,
  at the promise of somebody new.
  
  For his new mate was planned to get dinner,
  and to cook and to sew up his clothes,|
  She would make sure he didn't get thinner
  and wash up as well I suppose.
  
  She would bear him some fine sons and daughters,
  and never wake him in the night
  would take care of the beasts for the slaughter,
  and never talk back in a fight.

  She would love him with passion unceasing,
  and never complain of an ache,
  she would iron his shirts, never creasing
  the cuffs, as she baked him a cake.

  She would be such a model of virtue
  that Adam could never complain,
  and God said, "She never will hurt you,
  or cause you one second of pain."

  "Oh God," said our Adam, ecstatic
  "what shall I call this wondrous mate,
  and what will she cost, I'm emphatic
  I must have the best going rate."

  "This woman," said God, "that I bring you
  is Eve, the mother of all,
  The woman that your kids will cling to,
  and the one that will come to your call.

  "As for what she will cost, she's a jewel,
  and a bargain at this special price,
  for to you I couldn't be cruel,
  and I know you will heed my advice.

  "To you, as my special creation,
  I offer you this generous rate -
  just an arm and a leg your donation.
  You couldn't do better, hey mate?"

  Quite taken aback, Adam pondered,
  then said with a bit of a grin.
  "Well what would I get, I just wondered,
  if a rib instead I threw in."

  The rest of the tale is just history,
  for they closed that deal right away,
  so it's why we girls are a mystery
  to every bloke even today.
  
  Don't blame it on us, Mister Adam,
  when you were the cheapskate in Eden.
  For every missus and madam
  is still trying today to get even.

  My 8 Foot R/c Plane...

  i know, i know... it's just another big toy... but this rocks!.

  it's made of pink foam (it will be covered in black monocote when finished with flames on the wingtips), and the wingspan is 8 whole feet.

  most of the electronics are in there apart from the motor, which shipment was delayed on.

  I have found out that EVERY SINGLE one of the young people my age in my old congregation are out. Not only are they out but they live lives as strippers, pimps, drug dealers, etc.

  Well there is a stereotype JWs love to hear. Of course if you lived a life as a stripper, pimp, drug dealer, etc before you became a JW that's OK.
