What Do JWs Think About Dinosaurs?
by Cold Steel ini've seen evangelical sites that show dinosaurs dying in the great flood.
these people believe that god created the earth in seven 24-hour days, and have wondered that if god could just "speak" the earth into existence, why he would need the other six days.
(couldn't he just will it into existence in a flash?).

Jehovah's Organization: Is It the KINGDOM of Daniel 2?
by Cold Steel indaniel interprets a dream in which he explains there will be four world empires -- the babylonians, the persians, the greeks (under alexander) and the romans, the last of which are symbolized by the belly and legs (eastern and western).
after that, he saw that the roman empire would fragment and ultimately become ten kingdoms, being partly iron and partly clay.
it was during these "kings" that "the god of heaven [shall] set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

New Book: Jehovah is Jesus! Not Michael.
by Cold Steel indr. margaret barkers new book, the great angel: a study of israels second god, argues conclusively that yahweh, the god of israel, was not the father of jesus, but jesus christ himself.
furthermore, the belief that jehovah was gods (elyons) first son a tradition that went far back into israelite history.
it not only was known to the ancient prophets, but to the early christians and even the gnostics.

Zachariah 12 Interpretation Please??
by Cold Steel inas someone who believes in the literal interpretation of prophecy, especially in the old testament, i'm wondering how the witnesses view zachariah 12:.
the burden of the word of the lord for israel, saith the lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
behold, i will make jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against judah and against jerusalem.

Have Any JW Leaders Told You Not To Have a Gun?
by Cold Steel ini've heard of some jw leaders telling members of the congragation they shouldn't have guns for self defense.
i mean, how is someone going to feel comfortable smiting your other cheek if you have...like...a .357 magnum pointed at their face?
i'd probably smile and say, "hey, that's an unusual color for a bible!

Lifeforce v. Spirit and Star Trek and Stargate SG1?
by Cold Steel ini was just wondering about the jw concept of lifeforce v. spirit.. now i'm a big fan of stargate sg-1/atlantis and, to a lesser degree, star trek.
and the question i always had about the whole dematerialization and rematerialization process used in wormhole travel and beaming and such is this: if i understand it correctly, ever time you dematerialize, you're effectively killed, or cease to exist.
the version of "you" that steps onto the transporter or jumps into the wormhole gets completely zapped and the one that reappears on the other side is simply a perfect copy, with all the memories, feelings and so forth.

Gambling on Armageddon?
by Cold Steel inever since the millerites, many people have been gambling on armageddon and the return of christ.. the conventional view is that god will once again gather his people into the lands of their inheritance from the four corners of the earth, and that once established, the jewish state will build a temple.
a great gentile leader (called "gog" by ezekiel) will then bring a vast army down upon jerusalem and will eventually be destroyed by the returning christ.
according to zachariah, the lord will cause a great earthquake to split the mount of olives, and when the jews first behold their lord, they will ask about the wounds in his hands.
