Does anyone realize that dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible? God told us he created all the beast of the field didn't need to
mention dinosaurs seperatly. Now my theory of what happened to the dinosaurs. One they were on the Ark, so those not on the Ark were destroyed. Two we have Nimrod mentioned as being a great hunter. He would have only had to kill the female and destroy all her eggs.
Then dinosaurs would have been gone.

One injustice the jw religion does is it gives a totally false sense of confidence to members--teaching you can just think about something to figure it out, and totally discounting the need for actually studying something to obtain knowledge. Also, it gives members the false belief an idea, however uninformed, is equally valid to knowledge obtained by scientific analysis.
I had the same experience and there was a rude awakening. But a great awakening it was--I am now more curious than ever and am able to keep an open mind, rather than trying to close it by shoving round facts into the square peg that is the biblical story of Earth's history.
Here is a good video:

You are saying dinosaurs are mentioned.
God told us he created all the beast of the field didn't need to mention dinosaurs seperatly.
You are saying dinosaurs aren't mentioned?
Now my theory of what happened to the dinosaurs.
Don't we actually know what happened to the dinosaurs, which would render a theory unnecessary?
One they were on the Ark, so those not on the Ark were destroyed.
Setting the implausibility of the flood and ark story aside, the bible says one of every type of animal was on the ark, doesn't it?
Two we have Nimrod mentioned as being a great hunter. He would have only had to kill the female and destroy all her eggs.
Then dinosaurs would have been gone.
What would be the motive?
And wouldn't the deliberate extinction of a whole type of animal be significant enough to mention in the bible, especially since jehoopla knew the dinosaur would be a fly in the creationists' ointment in future years?
Huhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Dinosaurs around a few thousand years ago, let look at the geology shall we?
whatcha sssssmokin'??
Part of the JW history of inaccuracy was how they used to say that Bible calculations by them (without any real demonstration of where it came from) showed that each creative day was 7000 years long. That prepared the members for why they were so sure about 1975 being the end of the "system of things."
Sometime after it didn't come, they never dropped that teaching but started saying that each creative day was "thousands of years" long without mentioning how many thousands. That allowed older members to think they were still refering to the 7-thousands of years, while it allowed younger members who were hearing about new discoveries (such as how long the age of the dinosaurs was) to believe it refered to many thousands, perhaps more than hundreds of thousands. (Afterall, it is pretty well established that dinosaurs roamed the earth for 160 to 180 million years.)
Ask Steven Spielberg if his movie Jurassic Park was fiction.

Awww aren't kids cute ....they say the darndest things !
Now little roadrunner be sure to pay attention to Science class ,okay , because you will learn some very interesting facts . Look up geology and expand your mind www.amatuergeologist.com is a very good start .

Here's another theory about what happened on the ark:
