King Herod dies in 4 BC
by startingover insome time ago i read that herod died before jesus was born calling into question his command to kill all the male babies under 2 yrs.
as told in the bible.. i never bothered to research it before, but doing so i discover that herod the great died in 4 bc.
some sources mention that it calls into question the biblical account but others make it sound like jesus had to be born before herod died so therefore he was born before 4 bc.

JESUS B-day
by I-CH-TH-U-S indec 25?.
oct 1?.
i have even heard some recent speculation on jesus possibly being born in march which is interesting.. october seems reasonable with the rational of "shepherds watched their flocks by night" and in the december months it would be too cold for them to be out?

~How did/do you personally feel about the headship arrangement?~
by FlyingHighNow ini feel that headship is one of the most damaging doctrines taught in the wtbts as well as other fundy religions.
it is promoted as a way to have happier, healthier marriages and families.
in theory, maybe so.

Appropriateness of Women's Headcovering
by TheListener in1 corinthians 11:3-16 doesn't make any sense to me.
several other places paul says there are no male, female, slaves, jews, greeks, etc but we are all one with christ.
so why do some of us, who are all one, have to cover our heads or not even speak publicly at the meetings?

Daniel 4:10-17
by OldSoul inthe meaning of daniel 4:10-17 is found in daniel 4:20-27. i am going to place the interpretation daniel gives for each element beside the interpretation given by the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. i invite any witness to explain why the interpetation given in the bible is open to re-interpretation of a later fulfillment that does not correspond, on a single element, with the orginal interpretation.. .
from daniel 4:20-27. daniel's interpretation.
the tree that you beheld.... it is you o, king.
