  Swiss Rolls

  2. friends

  i understand from a new scientist article(i may or may not have read this correctly)that swiss rolls appear to be of pagan origin being associated with 'yule'logs.. should jws eat something associated with pagan rites?

  this edition of the watchtower has got a mistake on page 22 in that i don't think that the sheep shown on page 23 would have been woollen.. originally sheep were hairy, but selective breeding by `farmers' produced wooly sheep.. cf.mummies of urumchi/qi which i was reading only a few days ago.. .

  watchtower need access to reputable sources of information, i think!

  Is 1914 date flawed?

  by badboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reasoning 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!.

  JWs and Job Centres

  by badboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wonder how many jws are aware that job centres formerly known as labour exchanges were started by the sally army(salvation army!)..

  should a jw therefore enter a job centre because of its connections with chritendom?.

  they might be demons lurking in the dark corners of a job centre!

  Should local KH change its name?

  by badboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my local kh is called fort hill,a very milistaric name.. any suggestions,what they should call the kh instead?.

  they can't call it after the estate(winklebury) because it has milistaric/pagan connections!.

  neither basingstoke, because it is named after a man, and that would b creature worship!.

  ive been reading these posts and some on other websites for awhile now, trying to figure things out for myself.

  im still a jw, a non-believing one if you will.

  i more or less grew up as a jw, my father was an alcoholic and my mother became a jw when i was a kid.
