i have a number of problems with the noah's ark story that i could never find the answer to in the bible and so i thought i could ask here:.
1.how did noah get animals that are indigenous to areas he could not get to (e,g penguins, koalas, kangaroos, moose etc) .
2.the flood supposedly happened around 4000 years ago but there is evidence of civilisation dating back a lot further.
@galaxie Scientists now claim that there is a hidden reservoir that contains more water than all our oceans combined
for an almighty God it would be peanuts to use that 'hidden' water
as a matter a fact the genesis account says he did
(Genesis 8:2) . . .And the springs of the watery deep and the floodgates of the heavens became stopped up, . . .

a possible answer to question 8 , a recent (appeared this month in the journal Nature) scientific discovery
Writing in the journal Nature, scientists said they had found an elusive mineral pointing to the existence of a vast reservoir deep in Earth's mantle, 400 to 600 kilometres beneath our feet.
It may hold as much water as all the planet's oceans combined, they believe.

how much would a well-off witness be expected to donate?
my wife has just withdrawn a few hundred pounds from her account and refuses to tell me why so i suspect she plans to donate it as she hasn't donated for a while because she knows i don't want our money going to the organisation.
is it likely that she is feeling under pressure to make a large donation?.
@frazzled someone who loves his wife would not say things like 'You and your family are depending on my money' and critisise her because of her education. Besides that most of the JW's make a decent living and have more than enough money to care for themselves. The window washing stories are not the reality. Most of them just have other regular jobs. And there is no prohibition on higher education. People can decide themselves what they will do. What is emphasised is that we can make only one thing the most important in our lives and that persuing a career will cost a lot of time an effort. Time is something you have only once, so we are advised to use it wisely.
Making the Kingdom of God and proclaiming the Good News a priority and most important thing in life is wise in our eyes and foolish in the eyes of the world.
We dont care about what others think. We do things the way we think its best.

@frazzled you dont sound like a loving husband at all
when i was preschool, i had several dolls.
meetings were so hard at that age.
in fact, they were agony my entire life.
@blondie because children aged 1-3 do not comprehend (look at the phrase about being intelligent enough in your own quote) the public talk and watchtower study and tear up publications. older children dont and are usually aware of what is happening, make their first answers at the watchtower study etc etc
I have a boy of 2 years old. I gave him a tablet to keep him busy with digital coloring book, some games, some movies and the wt kids animations and songs. it keeps him busy and quiet.

truthseeker's fine thread got me thinking.
there are plenty of forum members from europe, australia, and latin america here.
did the book study in publishers' homes end a few years ago at the time, or near the time, that it did in america?
i meant the bookstudy is held at the same night as the service meeting in the kingdom hall. i am dutch so english is not my language
