Famine 1975! - or Famine 2050?
by TheOldHippie ini remember the quotes from the "famine 1975!
" book in the truth book from 68, and the impression of that period, that a major breakdown in the worlds ability to feed the billions would or could happen because of nature catastrophes, water shortage etc.
when i read articles today, not sensational articles but summaries of scientific reports on the greenhouse effect, climate change, disappearance of species and their importance for the food chain etc.

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?).

Two Trees in the Garden of Eden
by God_Delusion inisn't it weird how so few know that there were actually two major trees in the garden of eden account.. there was the tree of knowledge (of good and bad) and there was also the tree of life.. genesis chapter 3 makes is quite clear that god banished adam and eve from the garden and placed an angel to guard the tree of life, so that they might not eat from it again.
is this implying that the two perfect humans had to eat from the tree in order to have eternal life?
if not, why protect it?.

So god is Satan and Satan is god?
by Vachi 8 He Is init seems to me that what we've come to know about god doesn't exactly fit with someone who is loving.
first of all he's jealous but then why the surprise in the cain and abel story?
abel was a shepard of sheep and cain was a farmer.

1914 again
by inbetween inthere are a lot of thread s and arguments around the 587/607 issue, it can be a bit confusing, and for those of us still in, like me, to help others, it would not be a topic i would choose first.
it was something i found out, after i awakened, before i simply brushed it aside, as something like worldly chronology against biblical chronology.
imho to be ready for this issue, you have to be awake first, unless you are a real history buff... anyway, there may be another take on this matter:.

Who Heads God's Organization Today?
by wannabe inwho heads god's organization today?.
i've been thinking about this idea about a visible organization.
not the governing body of jehovah's witnesses at all, they, along with the entire realm of religious christendom are a non-entity.

Can Jehovah Really Read Hearts?
by Yan Bibiyan in(a)if jehovah can really read the heart, then he with no doubt would have read the hearts of the perfect adam and eve and would have known that they will sin when set up for a (failure) test.
then he would have known that he will punish them and all mankind for many thousands of years, which would case immense suffering, all to prove a point to his archnemesis!.
in the real world, an example comes to mind.
