Island Man, thank you for posting this. I am glad to see another 'bible scholar' speaking out. Interesting that Hector was also an Evangelical Christian. So was Bart Ehrman. I hope more of them do this. Christians have been lied to and they need to know it.

Wait one second here James... you mentioned a grill. Was meat involved? If so, then some creature most certainly lost its head. Nice try though. (*snicker*)
All kidding aside, sounds like it was an awesome party.

Solomon's Temple construction, things you realize when no longer asleep.
by Crazyguy inok so in 1kings chapters 5-6 is where we have the story of the construction of solomon's most holy temple to god, the supreme god.
it says that to build this magnificent temple they used 30,000 men, 10,000 per month.
another 70,000 common laborers in the hills digging up stone and 80,000 stone cutting laborers.

Riley is okay.
by umbertoecho ini went looking for riley last friday and i found out exactly what i wanted to know.
i know it is not policy and all that.
i just had this strong feeling that i would find the right "someone" to tell me.. it was a receptionist (they get locked in their stations when it gets crazy) those nice thick glass booths just shut down.

They've Exposed Their Hand
by OneFingerSalute inso the wtb&t$ have either intentionally or unwittingly exposed their hand in this mornings wt indoctrination article.. this is a direct quote from par.
"regardless of how long we have been in the truth, we must tell others about jehovah's organization.
" the question is, "what obligation does psalm 48: 12-14 place on us?".

There is no way my Father can tell anyone about Jehovah's organization. He doesn't even remember it. -

The Christian God is Stupid
by berrygerry ini do not clearly understand mainstream christian ideology, but i think that wt is a variation thereof.. wt teaches that god made adam and eve perfect, but that another one of god's perfect creatures, tricked eve into disobedience, thereby condemning adam, eve, and all of their offspring into a life of misery as a result.
this is because satan out-thought god, and essentially cornered god into this "legal challenge" that god had never foreseen.. that, to me, is one stupid god..

I often get confused about who the real Christian God is. Sometimes it appears to be Yahweh, other times Jesus. It seems to me, that Christianity is actually polytheistic.
Regardless, over time, our increasing knowledge of the cosmos has invalidated much of the 'information' about the cosmos found in the Bible. This supports your statement, berrygerry, that the Christian God is stupid. Of course, knowing what we do know now, many of us have concluded that 'God' is, as erbie and galaxie have said, a construct of the ancient Middle Eastern desert dwellers' imaginations.
Whatever the reasons Constantine and his merry band of men had for compiling The Bible, today, it is definitely a tool designed to validate the Christian religious industry and its right to manipulate and control people. I think Yahweh was the ancient Israelites attempt at validating killing and warring with other tribes who did not believe as they did, thus, starting the 'our God is better than your god' and 'our religion is better than your religion' beliefs that carry on into present day. Anything can be validated and justified if the right god is on your side.

Soooo ... Botchtower hasn't figured out yet that field circus reports do not actually reflect accurately the preaching work. These things could just be filled out and sent in no problem. Doesn't mean anything has actually been done.
