Noah's Ark - Kentucky
by BoogerMan inregardless of belief/non-belief in the bible account, why is the ark nearly always depicted by both believers & non-believers as a huge boat, with a rounded hull & stern, and a tapered bow?

the ark was crate shaped according to the measurements.

with modern design, methods and penetrating glue, a wooden vessel ~ 3/4 the size of the ark, actually floated at speed, and even flew. Howard Hughes', huge, spruce goose. Another rich man plans to use stainless steel.
for 120 years now, do far, wt is using your riches, time to create an end times salvation mock-up. a movie set shell, like the Kentucky showpiece.

well, may be the corners were dovetailed. perhaps all the dung and urine added to tensile strength the tar. in the bilge of the barge. . but think of the stress form the torrents of a constant a 10 meter an hour rain, hitting the upper slopes first.
wt outlines go from water over Everest to everlasting life. impossible, the fairytale can be laid to rest. the endorsement by J.C.and St. Pete notwithstanding. And the deity himself being the doorman.

You can [not] trust the Brothers, wt study this week
by waton infor the lucid lurkers: # 37. the article's examples really show, that among the 'name people' only 50 % of rank and file, and none of the leaders can be trusted all the time.
but, shut up and put up.. eli and hannah, eli's sons committed gross sins, raping/ seducing woman visitors to the temple, for years, yet naive worshippers are to trust their brothers, even with their children ?
inaction by wt approved?

On Trust: a gem from the next article. study #39. paragraph 13.:
You prove yourself untrustworthy, by discussing matters not covered in the bible based publication, or even implying there exist and you have such better knowledge. ha ha.
wt writers really dread , that seminal and original research in doctrinal corrections bubble to the surface, exposing their, an the bible's accumulated record.

"It will come in a time, that you will not think it will come" or words to that effect.
wt writers thought that it would be "appropriate" to come in 1975. and published that. so,
at least three build cheap "will last to 75" houses, cash in hand, on the upward trend ever since.
you need to be marked a false prophet only once.

“Hanging the earth upon nothing”
by FFGhost infor those of you not up to speed on the latest jw trends, one of the key scriptures the jws are using in field serve-us lately is job 26:7, wherein the writer describes the earth as “hanging upon nothing”.. this text is used to indicate the bible’s “reliability”.
the reasoning goes something like this:.
“see, centuries ago, people thought the world was flat, or was resting on elephants or turtles, or some such nonsense.

Don't follow you
peacefulpete, I just wanted to show a simple, today's science based view of the matter contrasting with the 'cover all possibilities' of earlier writers, trying their best to decipher the enigma of creation. including
The story of the old lady contradicting the astronomer by heckling, "You are wrong, young man,
it is turtles all the way down.

The 1975 paradise dogma was published by wt writers , studied in ~1969, 6 years to Armageddon.
we figured that would be longer than the 15 minute warning that would precede a nuclear missile strike, reminding the deity of the Rev 11:18 promise.
Since it would be cheaper than renting, therefore build a house in our former foreign language assignment, and were joined by 2 others, a wealthy contractor, who handed the company over to management , and an IBM technician who was put on remote work by the company. In their case hundreds of miles into an end of the road 'assignment". wt must have been involved in that choice of location, not on your Michelin guide.
A great start into the real estate market. Some of the locals were not so lucky, those that sold their houses, never recovered, never lived down the reputation of being false prophets.

The discussions in the book of Job seems to be a free for all about the meaning of life, the role of the deity[s].
Perhaps they speculated, that the firmament, was not not firm at all, these lights above free floating entities, with no visible support.
for the Earth, pillars pushing up. hangers pulling up, up into the void, against gravity, done by centrifugal force, the energy of movement.
a lucky guess in the lottery of 10 thousands of wrong verses.

Does anybody ever wonder why ?
by smiddy3 insupposedly, god jehovah, el , or whatever else he may have been called many thousands of years ago, or so the storys goes ,dealt with humans on a regular basis communicating with them for either good or bad.according to how they pleased him or displeased him.. so the bible record says.. how is it that god , jehovah or whatever other name you want to call him has not communicated with humans on any level for the past 2000 years ???.
in this scientific ,technological age ,wouldn`t you think this would be the time he would communicate with the potential dangers we face in potentially destroying ourselves and ruining the planets wildlife unless he interveined ?.
that`s if you even beleive that such a god actually exists .. and if he does why so silent in this day and age,?.

"he" does not authorize funny stories to be written any more, because we can measure. take noah's flood. 40 days of rain,@ ~ 900 hours in 40 days. everest ~ 9000 meters, rain, ~10 meters an hour, wow, 3 storeys.each hour.
The vocals are easy after that. to write about.
Do people hear voices today? you bet.
