  I went chasing the "trillions of cd" claim in para 13 and found that Leonard Adleman a molecular biologist and computer scientist

  made the calculation back in 1994-8. However, in 2012 I think if i remember correctly, Two Harvard University scientists

  did the experiment and actually stored 700 Terabytes of info in a gram of DNA. That worked out to 1,024,000 CD'S.

  Who Said modern technology isn't useful for da meetings? I learnt some interesting scientifically proven information there

  on my trusty ipad. Then I enjoyed reading on about DNA Computing.

  develop the necessary skills so that they can maintain a simple life of service to God"

  on page 15 and paragraph 13 of the same issue the wt also states " Rather than acquiring secular degrees and titles after their names, true christians focus on

  obtaining 'letters of recommendation' by engaging as fully as possible in the field ministry.-Read 2 corinthians 3:1-3"

  Its the October 15th study edition page 16 paragraph 15

  Under the Sub Heading " Benefit from the highest education"

  " What is the atmosphere in many of this world's institutions of higher education?

  Are they not hotbeds of political and social unrest? (eph. 2:2) By contrast Jehovah's organization

  provides the highest form of education in the peaceful setting of the Christian congregation. Each of us has

  the opportunity to benefit from the Theocratic Ministry School. Then there are specialised courses for single pioneer brothers etc etc.....

  No worries konceptual99 I'm on it. That's why I popped the question.

  Hey, one of the microphone handlers tonight dropped the bombshell...

  "there is an anomally in the insight book regarding Sodom's chances of resurrection"

  Joint goes quiet, elders turn around and the mike man goes on to explain the differing 'lights'

  something about the difference and revision of their chances,,,, I'm thinking,, this bloke must be on jwnet !!!!

  I reckon they'll be sorting him out .. lol ha ha

  Well folks, thats kind of what I was suspecting because I don't quite

  see the point in hair splitting as the article seems to do in this instance.

  Well said konceptual99 and we all started somewhere. Found your

  Egyptian timeline interesting as I'm currently trying to nut that

  one out as well, esp. projected population growth etc.

  Hi Folks

  October 15 2013 study watchtower page 7 para 3. The paragraph states that

  "fundamentalists of Christendom teach that the universe, including our earth

  and all life on it, is only a few thousand years old. Those who teach this doctrine

  - known as creationism-....... etc etc" (it would take me hours to type the whole lot).

  My question is... Would not WTBTS be classified as Creationists albeit Old Earth Creationists ?

  Some of you will no doubt find the sentence in the same paragraph referring to these fundamentalists

  who teach this doctrine as interesting... " They reject credible scientific evidence that contradicts their view"

  The Gall Of WT To Give This Advice To Pioneers:

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this past week's wt study lesson was entitled: 'pioneering strengthens our relationship with god'.. under the subheading 'remaining in the full-time service' in par 14 the wt has the nerve to give this admonition to pioneers: .

  'desiring to learn from jesus' example, a pioneer does well to keep in mind that the more material things he has, the more he will have to maintain , repair, or replace.'.

  i don't think the gb or anyone in the writing department has the freedom to speak on giving adivce on the matter of 'material things' given the fact that wt has close to a billion dollars in real estate and loads of money in various bank accounts; given the fact that gb is currently building themselves new living quarters with who knows what sort of comforts and other amenities.
