Future timeline
by Moxy infrom slashdot:.
ian pearson, a british futurist, has produced a sort of timeline of the future, which provides a simultaneously hopeful and bleak look into the coming decades.
mr. pearson has evidently had a fairly high success rate; a timeline he produced in 1991 was about 85% accurate.

JW's blood as to Mormon's polygamy
by Moxy ini think in time, the blood transfusion doctrine will fade away very similarly to mormon's polygamy doctrine.
the doctrine met with increasing legal pressure from the state and internal dissent from more liberal members.
the tide seems to have turned after the doctrine was about 50 or 60 years old (i am using 1830s as origin date) and from about 1900 on, the lds church no longer offically sanctioned the belief.

genealogical records destroyed in AD70?
by Moxy ini was reading about genetics and genealogy and got to wondering about the claims of genealogy that the wt makes.
doesnt it seem odd that when faced with the recorded genealogy of jesus in the gospels which obviously skips several generations, the wt says that the genealogy was so well-known to the jews that a writer could take some liberties with the lists because the reader would be familiar enough with it to fill in certain details?
also, the author of the genealogy could not afford to make the slightest mistake because the readers were so familiar with the genealogy and because anybody could, on a whim, go check the all-important master records kept in the temple.. but, on the other hand, when the romans sacked jerusalem suddenly this information that was so well-known that it barely required telling in detail was suddenly lost for all time.. as with all of these ultra-simplistic explanations, i just went along and hadnt really thought too much about it but now looking back, i knew something funny must be going on.

toronto columnist on religious opportunists
by Moxy inan article appeard in the toronto sun yesterday about the visits from jws since 9/11.. http://www.canoe.ca/columnists/dunford_nov4.html.
i find it fascinating that altho the columnist and his friend are clearly talking about jws (he mentions the titles of 2 current awakes word-for-word) he obviously doesnt understand what their message is at all.
they're both talking about heaven and souls and of course, whether or not they have any questions about god.
