Facebook post question
by InChristAlone inin playing around on facebook one day i discovered the page of the son of the ministerial servant who comes to my house.
i glanced through his posts and there were many instances of people wishing him a happy birthday and two instances of people wishing him a merry christmas eve.
i thought that last one was particularly strange (why eve?).

Let The Watchtower Show You That The Bible Contains Myth And Legend
by metatron ini was fascinated by a recent wt (aug.'14) article that illustrates how original bible accounts could change and transform over time, even with the best of motives.. stories can grow over time, gain 'new details' and be altered by well-intentioned people.
like catching a fish that seems to grow bigger in the retelling.. the august wt has a secondary article about joseph - which applies the story to modern day problems with "blended" families (so, similar in a way to ancient polygamous extended families).. the article asserts that jacob loved his son joseph in particular because his son was so faithful and righteous, perhaps giving him a special coat as a reward for his good behavior..... which is false because genesis 37 makes clear that he loved joseph because he was 'the son of his old age', in other words, a novelty or sign that the "old guy still had it and could get it up!".
understandable but not terribly noble.. however, that bit of history isn't good enough for the watchtower so they shift the information to fit their modern day narrative about stepfamilies.. now, i understand that the story of joseph has good counsel about forgiveness in a family.

An interesting website I thought I'd share
by Flowerpetal inin reading leolaia's comments about the nephelim and referring to the book of enoch, being the curious person i am, went on a search of the book of jubilees and came across this site: http://www.earth-history.com/preface.htm.
during later years i became more and more interested in the ancient history of mankind and the written stories from all over the world including the myths, legends and sages.
during this study it became very clear that the stories in the bible were not unique, and had been told of and written about everywhere around the ancient world.. when looking for evidence i began to read the history of mesopotamia, assyria, egypt and other regions and soon found out what i had already presumed.. because of this new evidence i started reading the bible again, only now as an historical book.
