Tree of life
by BluesBrother inlets face it, the bible does not say and so any explanation is little more than speculation.
those of us here that believe the bible has value can only reason on it as we see fit.
personally, i do accept the scripures but i do not see the need to take all of genesis quite as literally as the wt does.

Tax Loophole and Donations to be changed ?
by twinkletoes inaccording to the guardian newspaper february 9th there is an article re: "museums fight to keep tax loopholes".
"the piece of tidying up by the treasury, barely noticed in the chancellor's pre-budget statement in december, is estimated to lose the museum sector 10 million pounds per year.. this appears to work by visitors, agreeing to make a donation equal to the admisssion fee, and in return they were nominally admitted free...thus enabling the museums to recover the tax on the "gifts i.e.
donations, ".
