r (o.t.a watch tower bible & tract society of britain) v charity commission, 12 december 2014, dove j, no transcript yet available, summary on lawtel ().

judicial review is an excellent and flexible remedy, filling the gaps when statutory and other appeals do not provide a remedy for unlawful administrative acts or omissions.

Thanks mate - It was jolly good bit of festive fun resulting in my hat being used as a christmas tree decoration.

Why isn't the story of SAMPSON quickly and clearly regarded a myth?

by Terry in

judges chapter 15:.

14 when he came to lehi, the philistines shouted triumphantly at meeting him.

then jehovahs spirit empowered him,+ and the ropes on his arms became like linen threads that were scorched with fire, and his fetters melted off his hands.+ 15 he now found a fresh jawbone of a male donkey; he reached out and grabbed it and struck down 1,000 men with it.+ 16 then samson said: with the jawbone of a donkeyone heap, two heaps!

mgmelkat - I think the article you linked to can be completely debunked by the sentence at the bottom..........

SOTT can’t confirm this story or the research it suggests took place , however, we have wondered on many occasions, what is the use of hair and why so many legends refer to hair as being a source of strength, from Samson, to Nazarenes, to the Long Haired Franks.

Why were no sea creatures destroyed in the flood?

by smiddy in

all the animals on earth were destroyed in the flood of noahs day apart from those in the ark ,apparently no sea creatures were destroyed in the flood , why is that ?.

this is not an issue that only affects jehovahs witnesses , it is one that affects all beleivers that accept the bible as gods word.. obviously sea creatures were not put on the ark , no whales ,no dolphins , no fish , no krill , no plankton etc.

you can fill in the rest .. so my question is , why were land animals / birds singled out for destruction ?, what wrong did they do to deserve this judgement against them .

It was ALREADY there. Before God made dry land appear, the entire "planet" was all water.

I would love to see the scientific support for that ludacris statement.

At what point in embryonic development does the soul develop?

by cantleave in

i was reading about some amazing developments in our understanding and manipulation of pluripotent stem cells, for those interested i will post the link below.. whilst i was reading it a question came to me - do believers think that these cells contain a "soul"?

when does the soul enter the the biological entity?

is it at the time of gamete production?

cantleave

That would be correct in WTS theology since they say the biological entity is the "living soul". What those that believe the soul is separable from the biology?

Whilst I was reading it a question came to me - do believers think that these cells contain a "soul"? When does the soul enter the the biological entity? Is it at the time of gamete production? Or at conception? Maybe when consciousness arises?

I would love to hear opinions - in the meantime delight in the awesomeness of biological science........

i wanted to thank so many who have taken the time and effort to read and recommend captives of a concept over the past decade.. for those who have not seen it, there is an interview on youtube that may have helped some witnesses begin the process of getting the sense of the way the watchtower religion actually works.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5trkrpia-3q.
