it would have been so much easier to isolate adam and his family then destroy the baddys through other means,rather than wipe out nearly all innocent life forms such as animals.

Yeah, but as Kennedy said later " WE are doing this not because it is easy, but because it is hard."

Noah is held up as a WT hero, taking on the impossible, totally avoidable task. (not so for JK)

Death's in Noah's flood

by Are you serious in

has the wt ever come out with an article that indicates how many people died during the mythical flood?

i searched on their site but couldn't find anything.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thought that myself: why no massive amounts of human skeletons if we find bones of giant beasts?

and why were the mummies of that same time, or before ~ 2500 BC, -- in wooden caskets, not been soaked and landed on Mt Ararat too? No floating object older than that should have been left in place, and not destroyed by mould. Not to speak of the pressure, or turbulence.

No matter what number of deaths from the flood, the WTBS comes up with, i am sure the number will be watered down.

good one "watered down", watered down well, held under until dead.

So what the heck was Noah doing for 400+ years???

with a premonition of impending disaster, buying all the lumber, used even, perhaps from the builders of the Pyramids.

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Baker Who Refused to Bake Cake for Gay Couple

by Simon in

seems like such an obviously correct decision to overturn the previous overreach - it should never have been necessary to go to the supreme court but happened because the rights of the religious were being ignored.. as the fundamental level, no one should be able to compel you to work for them or to provide services that go against your beliefs, and certainly not have the government be able to force you to comply.. if this was allowed there would be so many unreconcilable situations that would clog up courts over nonsense.. i also have little patience for these activists that intentionally look to be offended.

it really doesn't do their cause any good to go round looking to make trouble for people.

it's also misguided because it ends up strengthening religious rights over effectively stupid issues.. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court-sides-with-baker-who-turned-away-gay-couple.html.

good fences make good neighbours. just because I put up a fence does not mean I am prejudiced against my neighbour. but even if I am, and i might have good reason to be, it is my business. The right to abstain should be maintained. good for the Supremes. they have sung.

find another baker, it is discriminatory to pick one that objects. The rain bow persons are the most gifted, artistic, in my experience.

The strange death of Europe

bbc: polices at airports stop "truant" families .

with millions of irregular migrants drawing illegally on the public purse, many areas even unsafe for the police to enter, police families in their homes threatened by dissenting mobs, .

police give tickets to families who leave early for the vacation, to get empty seats at better prices.

strange of Canada too: The Federal Immigration minister about illegal border crossers: The Nigerian goat herders are invading the farms, so we have to let the farmers in as refugee claimants, (although they are already safely in the USof A) and " sorry, your application will not be heard for years". ctv news.

So What Drastic Money Change is Next?

okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.

they reduced printing of mags.

they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

waton

In wt doctrine it was the idea, that the big money change would come in the great tribulation. they would thrown the gold , (das Geld) and silver (l'argent) into the streets, but of course not because it would be worthless (and easily collected by wt operatives), but because soldiers had the nasty habit of opening up people, to find the goodies that they had swallowed before an invasion.

Sorry, did not want to give wt a closing scene for next years convention closing video -- featuring butcher knifes instead AK 35s.
