Flood and bristlecone pine
by Moxy ini mentioned that the dc in our area featured a talk where the speaker, as an illustration of endurance, mentioned methusaleh, the bristlecone pine that had lived for 4700+ years.
i asked here for some possible explanations of this that allow for the wt flood dating.
i had assumed that the standard response would be that the dating of the tree was wrong, that the rings had gotten doubled a few times or something.

UK pub rules?
by Moxy inwas at a gathering yesterday where i was told about a sister from here in canada who had visited the uk and asked to go to a 'pub' just to see an authentic english pub.
the brothers apparently were shocked at her suggestion since uk jws do not go to pubs.
it would be equivalent to a north american going to a niteclub.

JWs proof of bible's power?
by Moxy inthis argument is used a lot.
the power of the bible's message is evidenced by the effect it has on people's lives, the strong families and morals within jw ranks.
now whether or not families and morals are really that strong is another matter, let's leave that out for now.
