i've just read an intersting article on the flood to do with dates and whether is was truly global or a regional flood.. http://www.commentarypress.com/essay-flood.html.
my father used to be an elder for many years and the flood was one of the things that made him walk away not just from the jw but also belief in the bible.
he was hung up on issues like the flood taking place about 3500 bc and how that fit in with the pyramids.. i don't know much about egyptian history or the ages of the big pyramids, but his reasoning was if the flood wiped out every human on earth except noah etc then at 3500 bc there were only 8 people on earth.
Both of you people could be comedians the way you banter back and forth. LOL
Sabrina you could open and AlanF could be the headliner or the other way around.
AlanF,
If you are an agnostic wouldn't you be safer believing in God ..... just in case? You know, kind of like
why David brought extra stones when he went to fight Goliath.... just in case he missed with the first one.

Sabrina,
Parts of the bible seem to be tolerant of other and parts of it seems to be quite the contrary.
an extrem strong earthquake happened recently in the indian ocean near island of sumatra.
level 8,5 - 8,9. no contact to many islands and coasts anymore.
no phone to the maledives and other touristic islands possible.
You forget one important thing. this is God's day of rest. He ain't doin nuttin till he is done resting. How many of you guys get busy working when you are on coffee break?

I didnt realize there were that many 4s 40s and 400s in the bible. But like someone said, you could probably do that with some other numbers as well.
Didnt the Davince code sound something like this?
this is rather spectacular.. it is footage of a guy in a wingsuit and another landing using a parachute the size of a picnic blanket.

"Lesson imo: We should neither think we know the mind of God,"
Yeah, who could possibly figure him out?

anything that you think effectively gets a jw to re-think their position on things or their beliefs, in general?
?
Just when I was thinking I had thunk it all, you guys made me think twice at what I was thinking about before I really started thinking about things.

The way I understand the Scriptures, mankind's final Judgment Day will come at the end of Christ's 1,000 year reign. If all of those in Noah's day were not really able to come to know the true God by the preaching of one man, and I doubt they were, then I trust God will take that into account when He renders their final judgment.
Do you realize what you just said? Your loving God just killed some very innocent people in a terrible underserving way. He drowned the poor buggers. Toreador
french philosopher blaise pascal once noted, "men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
" a case study for this statement can clearly be evidenced by the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.. the gb present themselves as lovers of truth and righteousness who are the only persons on this planet who speak for god.
this doctrine is at the very core of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses and is one of the few that cannot be rationalized away by wts apologists.
I enjoyed your post Hillary!
