Didn't at one time either the WT or Awake speculate that God must have put the Dino's here to help create oil reserves, (as if Oil is made from squished Dinosaur guts) but that he found it appropriate to "remove" them sometime before the flood?
Of course, another problem with the Witness Dino teaching is that it pretty well violates the "all animals were vegitarians in the beginning" idea. At least for anybody who has ever seen the evidence of a T-Rex skeleton.
Thankyou fadeout for that scan
:)
Its also good to see that i wasn't the only one that used to draw inside my bible
Daydreaming about that Dinosaur save me from many a boring hour down the hall

Devilsnok, I think that almost all little kids simply love Dinosaurs. I know that in my case, I had a big collection of all kinds of plastic dinosaurs, including some plastic mountains, palm trees, etc. I also had plastic glue-up skeleton models of the Triceratops, the Stegosaurus, and the T-Rex.
It was a pretty educational hobby, too - the set had a booklet which explained that cavemen did not exist during the time of the dinosaurs, and that they lived in various geological eras: Jurassaic, etc...it even showed which species were ancient, like the Dimetrodon, and which were of a later era. It gave scientifically accurate dates for how old they were.
I remember winning a science award back in the fifth grade for making a diorama and writing up a dinosaur paper from this source.
This was about 4 years before the witnesses captivated my family, and I can honestly tell everybody that I never did believe for one second their teachings about the 7,000 year creative days, the water vapor canopy, or any of the creationist hooplah. I just avoided talking about the subject as much as possible as nothing they had to say about it made the slightest bit of sense.
Memories again!!
I drew a little stick figure person clutched in the claws of the
terrible dino. Then I added smashed little people under his big feet
and all around him.
Yea, a sick and angry child.
I got into a lot of trouble for that one.
You drew a stick figure huh? That's funny!!! Wasn't there a whale in The Great Sea from that same bible? If I remember right it was on the other side that wasn't scanned---I wish I still had that green bible. One kid drew of speech bubble that had the whale burping. Silly I know but it cracked me up--still does. The boys were always the ones that were doing the creative drawing!!!

The next page at the front had a whales head sticking out of the water
and headed straight for a sail boat. Had fun with that one too
They even marked where the Garden of Eden was, though with a
question mark.
- "They even marked where the Garden of Eden was, though with a
question mark."
Wasn't that in the black 1984 bible as well? I seem to remember that one quite well. I also can't help but wonder how they figured out where the Garden of Eden was.
I didn't know Carthage used to be inhabited with dinosaurs.
Carthage is several hundred kilometers north and east of their. For a Barca, you need a lesson in Carthaginian geography.
Well, at least biggo Dino was sort of headed in the right direction in his march to trample and rampage the city then, no?
