  Lost is great - though deeply frustrating as well.

  Definately a major Egyptian influence - the great statue is almost certainly the Egyptian god Anubis - the ankh in the hand represents Eternal Life.

  Also Anubus has 4 toes - as does the statue in Lost.

  

  

  Like I say - I enjoy Lost but, my goodness, its weird.......

  The ending of the last series better not disappoint......

  it's been snowing heavily since last night and i'm unable to leave my driveway.. http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/02/national_weather_service_upgra.html.

  roads were closed because it was so slippery.

  that never happens--this is the tundra!

  The snow in Scotland this winter has been much worse than usual - plenty of snow everywhere.

  So much in fact they have had to close some of the ski slopes - 2 people died yesterday in Glencoe in an avalanche.

  I blame global warming myself..........

  Memorial 2010! How many jws will partake? or SHOULD partake?

  by justmom in

  answer..... all of them!.

  they pride themselves on being "the truth" ( which belongs only to the christ.

  they pride themselves on being part of a covenant that will destroy everyone else at armageddon and only they will "live forever" in paradise!.

  An increase is inevitable - a huge jump would be nice.

  Out of interest - when is the memorial this year - I am totally out of touch with the whole thing.

  March WT: Dumb That Takes Your Breath Away?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the cover article is "the bible-is it really god's inspired word?"..

  this has got to be a new low in watchtower superficiality.

  how do we know that isaiah and daniel were authentic despite the claims of critics?.

  This is not circular reasoning - your viewing the bible as 1 book

  The 66 books of the bible are from different times, different writers and different locations - so using 1 of these to confirm another is fine by me.

  Though not to say that WT do not use circular reasoning - of course they do - just not this time, in my opinion.

  last night, author and ex-christian, john w. loftus debated dinesh d'souza on the topic, "does the christian god exist?".

  in every single case dineshs response will be pretty much the same.

  I believe in God - but not sure if I would describe him as only the christian God though.

  Its a good question....

  do you ever post without quoting the bible?

  why do you feel a compulsive need to quote scriptures in all your posts?

  were you once a bible-thumping jw or are you just a born-again bible thumper who never was a jw and just happens to dislike jws?.
