Well if they can't use the biblical account for the core of they argument then I don't think Moses did a very good job at writing it. Especially since there was so much detail in the book of the numbers for example, you think he could at least have put all the "god must have"s into the account without leaving so much of it to interpretation. (I guess he was busy while writing genesis?)

Any active jws, without using the phrase "God must have..." Can you prove that Noah's ark actually happened
by DuvanMuvan ini have a number of problems with the noah's ark story that i could never find the answer to in the bible and so i thought i could ask here:.
1.how did noah get animals that are indigenous to areas he could not get to (e,g penguins, koalas, kangaroos, moose etc) .
2.the flood supposedly happened around 4000 years ago but there is evidence of civilisation dating back a lot further.

Need advice for asking a girl out
by DuvanMuvan inwell long story short, i've been meaning to ask this girl at school out for a while but i can never do it because her friends are always there in the way and i would prefer to ask her in person.
we've liked each other for a while (i was oblivious until about a month or two ago) and i'm also i bit worried she'll get tired of waiting.. i was just wondering if anyone had any advice or something that they could give me.

What happened to the "Witness" part of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by donny ini just got back from my afternoon walk/run and about a block from home i saw two sets of jw's going door to door handing out invites to the memorial.. the first pair walked past me and only said "good afternoon" as they passed.. about two minutes later the second pair approached me and handed me an invite to 2014 memorial on april 14. i asked them why they chose the jw's as their church of choice and was told "we'd like to chat more but we have a set number of invites we have to get out before the memorial.
if you contact the kingdom hall listed here, they will tell you more... on how god's kingdom will rid the world of satan and the evil associated with him.".
i replied "you can't talk now?".

@mynameislame for the past 8 years that i was actually going to meetings I always remember how they loved to go on about pioneering in the memorial season. (Also if you didn't know there's a memorial season)
In my kh we always had at least 60 more people turn up on Memorial Day than normal and this spike in attendance usually only lasts for a couple weeks the. It goes back to normal

the sad thing is this seems too bizarre to be a spontaneous, one time thing.
He's probably done this before and it's either working or in his weird little mind, he thinks it's working and both options are just as worrying
weird that he called it doctrine though. In my old congregation the word doctrine was always associated with Christendom (usually the trinity) and if you even thought about calling anything taught at the kh doctrine you'd be in for a serious talking to at the back of the hall by an elder I'll tell you that much

You wanna hear something weird? This guy at my school made a really cheesy music video for a project and the song is called "moving on" and it's been stuck in my head all week and earlier today someone was playing it on her phone and it was all I could think about for the next 20 minutes on the bus ride home.
after that I was just trying to figure out how campers on mw2 can look at themselves in the mirror without punching it

I only said it was ok of she said no because I didn't want her to feel guilty about saying no and I felt a bit weird just standing there waiting for her to answer when it looked like she didn't want to
i do feel pretty relived knowing that I don't have to take any of the "you guys should be a couple" stuff seriously anymore

I asked her after school and she said no. Well not in those words. She said "awwww" a lot then "idk" then I said it's alright if she says no then she said we can still be friends and we'll still go to prom and I got a hug. Her saying no wasn't as bad as I thought it would be tbh. Im still glad I did it because I don't have to worry about her not liking me anymore since ik for sure.
If I do feel anything bad now it's that im a bit annoyed because her friends have been putting me through a lot of that "you guys should be a couple" stuff for a while even while they knew I liked her. It kinda gave me the impression that she liked me back and she never seemed to mind them doing it either. But even then I'm not THAT annoyed.

Yeah I do this kind of thing a lot. I'm scared to do something so I create a little tally chart in my head of why it probably won't go as I planned then use it to talk myseof out of doing it. Same thing happened when I wanted to ask her to prom a few months ago. Luckily for me she asked me instead (but this was a couple of weeks after the day I said I was "definitely" going to do it)
I'll (probably) do it tomorrow. Damn being confident takes too much effort.
