Noah's Missing Dove, Tower of Babel and Sumer
by doubtful ini was reading genesis again today - chapter 8 and 9. and here are two additional curiosities i found now that the blinders are off.. 8:12 - apparently noah releases this mischevious explorer dove, who in verse 12, ends up never coming back.
this raises three questions.
for one, why would noah have to send out a bird three times to explore for dry land in order to see if it was safe to exit the ark?

Did Jeremiah refute the validity of the Mosaic/Levitical Law?
by doubtful innow that i no longer view the bible as one big harmonious collection of inspired works, i find myself asking some interesting questions.
one question that appears to have not yet been addressed on this board is the issue of whether or not the prophet jeremiah endorsed the law.
a couple of things he said would seem to indicate that whatever was passed off as the law covenant in his day, was not something he felt to have been divinely inspired.

Bethel Apostates are the True Faithful and Discreet Slave
by doubtful inthere is absolutely nothing "discreet" about the old "governor's body".
they parade themselves around like celebrities, show up to give talks in foreign countries where they don't even speak the language, and plaster their pictures all over their magazines.
they also make more references to themselves than any sane group people in their right mind ever should.

How much longer can the Watchtower survive in its current form???
by doubtful ini find it amazing that a religious movement predicting the end of the world for almost 150 years, still maintains a following!
soon, all the older zealots will be dead, the baby-boomer jws will be old and retired, and the bulk of the jw labor force will consist of all the "worldly music - listening", facebook using, living as close to the edge of wt standards as possible, youth of today.
as they mature, grow older and began to seek social status for themselves among other jws by pursuing appointments like ms and elder, they will probably morph into a replica of their parents.

Can you be appointed as an Elder while attending college?
by doubtful inwhat is the current stance on this issue?
i've heard of a lot of ms who were going to university, and yet i've never heard of that being the case for elders.
someone on this board also mentioned recently that they knew of man who was denied appointment as an elder despite otherwise excellent qualifications because he was a college student.
