  Did you count the time for your "hour talk"?

  hi fellow speakers (sorry, brothers only!):.

  my first public talk, given in my early 20s, was actually a twenty-minute part of a symposium talk.

  my pioneer partner friend and i each had twenty minutes and a "servant" had the concluding part.

  Evidence of Jesus being Married?

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/jesus-wife-fragment-is-not-a-fake-scientists-claim-9253395.html.

  a harvard professor is claiming a fragment of papyrus seemingly mentioning that jesus had a wife is an ancient document and not a forgery, following a series of tests.. the text is written in coptic and contains a dialogue in which jesus refers to "my wife.

  "karen king, a professor at the harvard divinity school, writes in the harvard theological review that the papyrus is almost certainly a product of ancient christians and probably dates to eighth-century egypt, based on carbon dating and chemical tests on the ink.. none of the testing has produced any evidence that the fragment is a modern fabrication or forgery, prof king and her team concluded.. the fragment, which has some legible lines on the front and on the back, contains the words: jesus said to them, my wife .... she will also be my disciple.. james yardley from columbia university, and alexis hagadorn from columbia university libraries, used a technique called micro-raman spectroscopy to determine that the carbon character of the ink matched samples of other papyri that date from the first to eighth centuries ce.. malcolm choat from macquarie university examined the fragment at hds and offered an independent assessment of the handwriting.. prof king first announced the existence of the fragment in september 2012, at the international coptic congress in rome, where she dubbed it "the gospel of jesus's wife.".

  John 2 On Tuesday, there was a wedding at Kanah in the Galil; and the mother of Yeshua was there. 2 Yeshua too was invited to the wedding, along with his talmidim. 3 The wine ran out, and Yeshua’s mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 4 Yeshua replied, “Mother, why should that concern me? — or you? My time hasn’t come yet.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now six stone water-jars were standing there for the Jewish ceremonial washings, each with a capacity of twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Yeshua told them, “Fill the jars with water,” and they filled them to the brim. 8 He said, “Now draw some out, and take it to the man in charge of the banquet”; and they took it. 9 The man in charge tasted the water; it had now turned into wine! He did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. So he called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone else serves the good wine first and the poorer wine after people have drunk freely. But you have kept the good wine until now!” 11 This, the first of Yeshua’s miraculous signs, he did at Kanah in the Galil; he manifested his glory, and his talmidim came to trust in him. 12 Afterwards, he, his mother and brothers, and his talmidim went down to K’far-Nachum and stayed there a few days.

  people who believe that every verse of the bible is inspired are in for a shock.

  according to genesis account, god created heavens and the earthin a one-time act.

  but an experiment conducted at the south pole, two weeks back, has caught ripples in the oldest light in the universe.

  Rutherford sounds a little like George C. Wallace.

  Face the Facts and Fill the Earth were two of the talks Ray Franz mentioned in the 2nd chapter of COC.

  The talks were given in London, England, in 1938, and were transmitted by wire to various convention sites wherein Franz was a participant.

  Franz was 16 years old at the time and was about to embark on a course of full-time service as a pioneer.

  SMH.

  Edit: Thanks, Terry.

  Ah, 4 more posts!

  I do not understand how this post allotment works.

  What contradiction, JGnat?

  I believe the Flood and the genealogy in Genesis are compatible.

  Have I missed something?

  My nephew got married in July of last year.

  At the reception, JW's and others took to the dance floor doing The Wobble like it was no tomorrow!

  It was a joyous occasion.

  That being said, I am all out of posts.

  See y'all 8 hours from now.
