22A major misadventure!
by Bungi Bill inhi, everyone.. i haven't posted here much in quite a while, but having just been laid low by injury, i'll likely be a frequent visitor for some time to come!.
two weeks ago, i was involved in a workplace accident that left me with my lower l.h.
leg fractured in three places (the tibia and fibular both broken clean through, plus another crack in the "neck" of the fibular for good measure!

River flowing from the garden of Eden
by joey jojo inhey there.. if this point has been covered before please forgive me.. i have had the principles of noahs flood used by jw's to encourage me to attend meetings recently and this has got me musing about the flood....again.. genesis states that a river flowed from eden and branched out into four rivers, two of which being the tigris and the euphrates.. heres the baffling part; if it had never rained before, how is it that rivers existed before the flood?!!?.
a brief google search tells us that the euphrates begins its journey as snow melt and rain ( as most rivers do) in mountains in turkey.. ecc chapter 1 mentions the water cycle and describes the rivers flowing into the sea but the sea not becoming full.
how did it work pre-flood?

Well all I can say, he had a hell of a anchor, a wooden anchor also..LOL
not only the anker, how about the weight of rope, or copper chain ~10 km long? when soaking wet would have surely sunk the ark, already riding at capacity. May be Noah shoveling all the crap overboard, balanced it out, if rigged at midship?

judging by appearances is politically incorrect, so there is an incentive, and helps you settle for the mate that is not a trophy catch.

here's a great jw brain stumper about noah
by nowwhat? inso noah was a preacher of righteousness.
than how did he warn other pockets of civilizations that were hundreds or thousands of miles away?
and if they were destroyed anyway i thought jehovah only acts after he gives clear warning.. and if there were no other civilzations why the need to destroy the entire earth of every living creature?

maybe the the Kangaroos, Pandas, Mammoths had been corrupted by the wide-roaming fallen angels too. May there were not only human hybrids, but fiendish fauna far and wide too?
It was not the first "world wide work
added: and if you think these animal-nethinim as hybrids could not reproduce, therefore where only a passing threat, so must have been their human half-angels, right? so,
To spay, or pulling the plug on only the demons was not enough, filling the whole tub the only way. .(without reading about the practise in the bible, I would have never thought of it, disgusting) thank you for the inspiration.

down the middle of the great street of the city.down the middle of the great street of the city. SKDitta
yes, the river is in the city, the city has 12 gates unlike the one or two of Eden, Angels guard them, (swordless) . River and trees of life in Rev. guarded like in Eden.
pretty pictures, important only if there really was a talking snake, and the Earth created in the beginning, instead of 10 billion years later.

SKDitta, Carrying the mythology of those swords into modern warfare is stretching it, let us keep it in the "talking snake book" shall we? The bible story identifies the swords at Eden's entrances to be repellent to the access to the tree of life watered by the river. in Rev 20/21, the denouement, The gates are guarded by angels again, barring the access to the river, and trees of life, for the unworthy. so, River in Eden, River in the 1000 year paradise.
impossible rivers, as this thread showed.

Rutte's tough stand against the Turks probably cost Wilders. He outwildered the real one.
The bill for lack of identifying the real dangers ahead, will come in later. Perhaps foreign powers will not be stopped again.
Rotterdam is less than 50% original Dutch. it is not called Rotterdam for nothing.
PS there are moves underway to give full voting rights to migrants in Europe, migrants voting in elections for their home countries, voting in their host countries, Migrants outvoting the nation builders out of their nests.

Were You Ever A True Believer?
by minimus ini was raised in the religion and for the most part believed that my religion was truth.
i recognized some mistakes were occasionally made but felt that nobody is perfect.
then i smartened up and realized how dumb so many of the beliefs are....was there ever a time that you truly believed you had the "truth"?.

self-taught true believer (never had the mandatory bible indoctrination "study"), believing that the peaceful world was coming, that the "truth" was work in progress. special pioneer, in foreign language field for decades. not realizing as I do now, that the very basic premises, --(even of pre-watchtower vintage)--not only the late developments.-- are simply wrong.
