ARGH! My girlfriend is going back to religion!
by bohm in... she has joined 'church of the flying spaghetti monster' on facebook and is telling me about the correlation between global warming and pirates.
i tried to talk her out of it, but she said nobody should tell her what she can do and cannot and besides she want a piercing.
i settled for the spaghetti monster as the lesser of two evils ;-).. seriously, how much trouble would she get if the elders got wind of this?.

Did you ever feel dissatisfied by the quality of 'proof' from the FDS?
by bohm inhey!.
i have tried to debate evolution/ark a couple of times with witnesses.
two of these were elders, and one had the benefit of conversing with me over mail; he also showed an interest and knowledge on some scientific subjects that told me he had studied it a bit by himself.

Debunking the WT interpretation of matthew 8:11.
by bohm intoday at my study we went over death and the eartly/heavenly hope.
i feel that the wt intepretation of the bible on these matters are a bit biased, and i couldnt help myself to bring up matthew 8:11. my conductor seemed not to be familiar with that scripture, and he quickly said that he didnt really know how to interpret it and will get back to me.
to avoid getting completely burried i desided to do a bit of research to find out what answer i might expect - using google i dug up this article:.

If you had a bible study over the yellow "Bible Teach" book, which chapters would you focus on?
by bohm ini am having a bible study over the yellow "what does the bible really teach"-book.
originally, i wanted to have a study of early jw doctrine and 607, and i had my study conductor agree that this was the core subject to understand jehovahs witnesses and we even agreed to find litterature.
but lo and behold, the next time he had a change of heart, so the yellow book it is ;-) .. actually i think the study is going pretty well.

70 weeks - Xerxes, Artaxerxes: How weak is the WT position cmp. to 607?
by bohm inso, in my bible study i can see we are approaching chapter 4 of "what does the bible really teach" about daniels profecy.
the book says: "another example is about the profecy of daniel 9:25, a profecy which many centuries in advance predicted exactly when messias would appear - in the year 29".
there is a small appendix which ties this up to wether artaxerxes 20th year was in 455bc (455bc + 7x69weeks, ie.

Inference and what jehovahs witnesses fail to see wrt. 607, evolution, the ark, etc.
by bohm in"hey guys, last summer i spend 3 days in the stomach of a live sperm whale".
the imediate reaction when you hear that is to think im lying.
if i had written that in a book called "the things i did last summer", everyone would tend to treat that rest of the material in that book with sceptisism.
