The Growth of Christianity bad news for WTS
by Thirdson ini dont know if anyone else here has read this weeks (4/16/01) copy of newsweek.
there is a major article on the growth of christianity in south america, asia and in particular africa.
many of the christian sects bear little resemblance to conservative western churches but are very evangelical, charismatic with often a blend of local spiritual beliefs added to traditional christian dogma and centered around a local spiritual leader.

The Bible, Math and H2O Rick
by Thirdson inover on h20 our friend rick is trying to get to grips with circles, spheres and basic geometry in an attempt to prove the bible to be scientifically accurate.
(i dont see the point as the bible is not a book of science and its history is often shrouded in myth) .
all of this reminded me of a passage in a recreational math book called beyond numeracy by ja paulos.

YOU ARE A BUNCH OF ADMIRABLE WINNERS!
by Thirdson inthose of us who spent a good portion of our lives as slaves to the printing corporation in brooklyn do well to reflect on our achievements.
we have managed to break the cult shackles and get past the guilt barrier.
we are building happy, successful lives.

Is Winter Over Yet?????
by Thirdson indespite the ranting in some of the posts on this board i thought today was a good day.
today, march 1 (for me still right now) can be regarded as the first day of spring unless youre a stickler for changing the season on the equinox.
today was the first morning in umpteen days that i woke to outside temperatures above 0 degrees.

Did Snakes have Legs? Yes/No
by Thirdson ini managed to find a piece i wrote last year and subsequently lost.
thanks to the archiving efforts of a very good person i have managed to get it back.
thinking about some posts here recently regarding the genesis account of the fall of man, i recalled a conversation with a friend a few years back.
