  West Palm Beach Christian Convention Center -- 10 Years Old

  while looking for info on another thread, i found this recent article on the old "leaky teepee" in west palm beach, florida...that was bought by the wtbts 10 years ago....for a song.... .

  note the regrets of city officials in that they could have done what wt did and sold some of the land (wt sold a lot of the unused land to home depot and recovered a good portion of the $12.5 million they paid for the entire property).

  it really is a beautiful property now, inside and out .

  back in 2005, i remember sitting in the stadium in the special rows with 42 others.

  8000 people were looking at us - maybe even with a binocular - while listening to the speech.

  my family and my friends among them, being all proud of me.. i don't remember being enthusiastic.

  Funny thing is I got baptized do to girls. You're considered an add man out if your not baptized, so to be able to date and to be part of the group one had to get baptized so that's what I did. Spiritual I felt nothing , in fact I didn't feel spiritual until after I woke and and thought I Knew what it was to be in Christ a true Christian. That didn't last long as I did further research on the Bible.

  She is probably thinking your trying to get her back in. Many people when they leave the cult they want nothing to do with it or the people in it, it's just to much for them to handle and a clean break is the way they go. Hope your able to make contact.

  When was Genesis written, I think I have norrowed it down, maybe.

  i was doing some research on the sumerians kings lists.

  for those that don't know this list has a list of antediluvian kings that ruled before the flood.

  this list translates to the same as the patriarchs before the flood in genesis, from adam down to noah.

  Wiki doesn't say much different than the standard line. It even mentions Solomon which most experts believe didn't exist. We have to move past the standard line because it's all old BS.

  Does the two witness rule still stand on minor sins?

  its been pointed out to me that two eye witnesses are always needed for elders to form a judicial case.

  the sister could have sex with a brother.

  she confesses and he denies, he gets off free, sure.

  Stuckinarut2 is so right, I just asked a couple of questions and was having a one one discussion with an elder about one subject and my reputation was all the while being ruined throughout my circuit!

  The earliest found genesis fragments like you stated were 2 century and there's no evidence beyond the Bible that Saul ever existed and again no evidence of a kings list with ten names except that of Berossus. I think I could be on to something here.

  I was doing some research on the Sumerians kings lists. For those that don't know this list has a list of antediluvian kings that ruled before the flood. This list translates to the same as the patriarchs before the flood in Genesis, from Adam down to Noah. Except I discovered one glaring difference! When archaeologists found the stone tablets with the lists on them they seem to all have just 8 names except a list compiled by an ancient historian and astronomer named Berossus. Berossus lived in the late 3rd century and wrote his writings around 290-278 BC. Berossus Kings list had a total of ten names for this period the same amount as the book of Genesis. Could it be that the book of Genesis wasn't written until sometime after 278 BC?

  Another clue is the story of Noah's Ark built before the flood. In other stories found in Sumeria, older stories the boat is just a make shift vessel and the measurements are nothing definite more hap hazard. In one story the builder is told to just make it as long as it is wide roof it over and use pitch. In Berossus version the measurements are again not defined as to how the Ark is to be built but are pretty much the exact measurements as that of the Ark in the bible if one is to break them down in to more then one level. much the way the Ark ended up being in the Genesis story.

  Could it be that the book of Genesis wasn't written until after Berossus writings, maybe sometime in the 2nd century BC?

  If it's a case of adultery you need two witnesses , if it's pedophile then again it two witnesses unless it's an elder then you need 5. If it's apostacy you only need to think it and your just DFD!!

  Don't think the elders are going to take this way also it's just to the elders the rank and file will still shun.
