Unified Thinking
by link indespite the fact that there has to be unified thinking in the kh, i have sometimes heard brothers arguing amongst themselves over the interpretation of scripture.. one such discussion concerned "the days of noah".. this elder was adamant that noah never did any preaching work after jehovah gave him the plans for building the ark.
his reasoning was that since jehovah already knew at that point exactly what size the ark must be, he must also know how many persons would be occupying it.
his point being that jehovah would not expect noah to continue preaching to people that he was aware would never listen.. this obviously has some connotations frrom a prophetic point of view and most of his listeners said he was talking rubbish.. what do you think?

An Odd one Out?
by link inthis question must have been asked before but i cant find it with the search facility.. does anyone know of a christian religious denomination that only has doctrine and dogma that is not disputed by any other christian religious denomination?.
this of course is entirely different to saying does that denomination agree with the doctrine and dogma of all other religious denominations.. i hope that someone will give this some thought because i could not come up with one.. thanks.
