Was God's seed a Dicot or a Monocot.
I think some would have you believe it is a tricot. ;-)

Early Civilizations and Bible Chronology...Part 2
by xelder inwas away from my normal computer and so my two posts to start the first thread didn't show.. however, thanks to all who picked up the topic and commented shadesofgrey, sizemik, lars, designs, otwo, jwfacts.
since i never commented on my own thread, i thought i should and thank everyone.. adam's claimed date of creation of c. 4000 bc was mentioned, however, the bible would have everyone coming from noah at c. 2650 bc.
american civilizations are said to date prior to the usual biblical date of the flood.

The attendant smiled and let me know that it was almost over. It felt good to help. But, even more than that was the satisfaction of not feeling tainted by the hypocritical edicts of an elitist control group. It had bothered me for years that as part of a group we were allowed to benefit from effort and technology of others but forbidden to contribute to the same effort.
The attendant pulled the needle from my arm and had me hold a cotton ball against the vein.
As I put on my jacket to leave I admired the deep red, plastic bag and thought to myself, “I hope it helps someone in need.”

Weird things JWs can't own or wear
by lilbluekitty inalso posted on the yuku forum.. i thought it might be amusing to make a list of things i remember when i was a dub that we couldn't have or own or wear.
(some of these things vary by where you live, in other places dubs have them, it just depends).
obviously the list goes on forever, but feel free to add things.

onacruise - Craig Mills 1952-2011
by Lady Lee ini was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.
i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.
ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

How much of a religion's doctrine can one disavow and still consider himself a member?
by behemot inits a good question: how much of your religions actions do you have to disavow before you feel comfortable just walking away from the whole damn thing altogether?.
what aspects of your faith did you eschew before you finally stepped away from it for good?.

with the WT$ you can disavow all the old light you want as long as it doesn't become new the current new light again.

Is the Yellowstone caldera safe? You decide...
by Nathan Natas infrom: http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/12890.
scientists on alert after hundreds of earthquakes daily rattle yellowstone national park.
over the course of the past two weeks, more than one-hundred mostly small earthquakes per day, on average, have shaken up a remote area of yellowstone national park in wyoming.

Hi NN,
For a repeat of the 'supermassive eruption' that happened 600,000 years ago the magma chamber would have to fill almost two to three times its current volume. Small quakes might indicate magma movement, stresses being relieved as the magma chamber below Yellowstone caldera is displaced laterally. This topic came up several times in our geology courses. The time to start worrying is a sustained quake swarm accompanied by large surface displacements caused by the magma chamber filling. Then even a small eruption could release the pressure on the magma chamber and trigger the event you are talking about.
Ruh-Row to say the least.
