Exactly How Did (Jehovah) God Scramble the Languages
by Kum Vulcan inwe all know the account in gen 10: 1-10, where jehovah scrambles the languages of the people building the tower so they can't communicate with each other anymore.. and exactly how was this accomplished?.
on the physiological level, speech and language is "coded" by physical connection between neurons in our brains.
there is much more to be explored by science on this and it surely is well beyond my knowledge on the subject, but nevertheless we can all agree that learning a language, be it a native tongue or a second, third, etc language later in life requires time and effort for those neuron connections to form.. rewind back to said gen account.

Watchtower CD library for Mac?
by jwfacts indoes anyone know if the watchtower cd library comes in a mac compatible version?
or has anyone been able to crack it so it works on a mac.. i know i can run emulation software, but don't feel like giving any more money to microsoft for a copy of their operating system.
i have just bought a couple of mac laptops and find it so much better than windows 7 in almost every regard that i cannot understand why people still buy pc's.

Question about moving from one congregation to another
by dgp ini understand that, if you want to move from a congregation to another, you need some sort of a letter from the previous congregation.
i suppose that would be the root of many an abuse by the elders of the old congregation.
what can you guys tell me?.

Will the FDS start demanding a "pledge"?
by hamsterbait inremember how the bible students had to make a pledge, among other things "never to be alone in a room with a member of the opposite sex, except a sister, mother or daughter?".
do you think they will start to demand a "pledge of alliegance" to the borganisation?.
will those refusing to make it then be summaraily df, since they have shown by their refusal, that they do not believe that the gibbering buddy, is the appointed "fds" of matthew 25.. how likely is this do you think?.

Funniest Talk or Weird Things That Happened In Your Hall.
by Nephilim inthere is always at least 2 or 3 really crazy persons in the kingdom hall.
the kind of person that when they raise their hand the speaker on stage knows he's taking a gamble if he calls on them - yet he can't discriminate.. anyhow, i remember one time a younger brother was doing sound and one of those crazy brothers was about to give his 5 minute talk (i forget what number that was, prior to them just reading scripture).
the crazy brother slipped the young brother doing sound a cd and said "play this when i get on stage".. well, he gets up on stage and all of a sudden hawaiian music starts playing... the man on stage just starts dancing.

The Rise of the Conscious Class
by truthseeker in"i believe in one god, and no more; and i hope for happiness beyond this life.
i believe the equality of man, and i believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.
but, lest it should be supposed that i believe many other things in addition to these, i shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things i do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.
