Is 1914 date flawed?
by badboy inreasoning from the scriptures says on pp95-97 that months consist of 30 days.. years therefore would be 360 days long.. i have calcaluted(sic)that for every year in the `western'calender such a 360 day calender would fall 4/5 days depending on whether it was a leapyear or not.
now over a period of 2520 years,a 360 day calender would be 9,940 days behind a 364/5 day calender(25 years!
) therefore 2520 years according to book of daniel would fall in 1889!.

Social Security and Jws
by badboy ini am a severly disabled adult who receives disability benefits.. i understand sometime ago the watchtower said in one of its magazine(probably watchtower)that a smaller pertentage(sic)of jws claimed the dole in france(this was, i believe during the problems with the french government)as opposed to a higher pertentage(sic)of roman catholic etc etc claiming the dole.. in view of what paul says in one of his letter`he that doesn't work, shall not eat' should jws be claiming the dole if they truly follow the bible.
discuss.. i believe a social security system should provide for the disabled and pensioners.
(i don't think the present uk social security system will survive in its present form with accelerting(sic)costs etc etc)

Location of Ophir?
by badboy inophir has been located in various places, i believe i may have worked out where.. i understand that peacocks and silver come from ophir which was a port.. the watchtower quotes from the catholic encylopaedia saying that ophir was in zimbabwe!.
it obviously isn't because zimbabwe is not by the coast so can't be a port!.
i humbly suggest the watchtower reads the bible and apply some commonsense!.

by Jackson ina recent awake article was about the magnificence of niagra falls and how it straddles the canadian and u.s. borders.
in the february 22nd issue of the awake in "from the readers" at the back, one of the readers complained, "you (the awake) said that the erosion of the river gorge has taken place over the past 12,000 years.
this would not tie in with the bible's account of a global deluge.".
