WTB&TS has invested $40,000,000 in November 2007 in a Hedge fund located in the Cayman Islands, a tax haven

by sammy in

wtb&ts has invested $40,000,000 in november 2007 in a hedge fund located in the cayman islands, a tax haven.

the document is from the official website : securities and exchange commission:.

http://www.sec.gov/archives/edgar/vprr/07/9999999997-07-048801 .

$500 million worth of 'tickets' to ride on the funds train could have been bought.

The WTBTS bought a $40 million block of tickets in 2007.

They were the first ones in line, but it also seems as if they were the only ones in line (No other sec notices of sales were filed as far as I can see).

Interesting Article: New human link found "Homo Naledi"

by Splash in

haven't read it all yet, but 15 skeletons have been found in south africa, near jo'burg... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/11855405/homo-naledi-a-new-species-of-human-discovered-in-a-cave-in-south-africa.html.

Yeah but where's the transitional species between homo naledi and homo sapien? huh huh?

Evolution 0 Creationism +1

Also Naledi's fossil has better teeth than I have. It hows that we have devolved and gone backwards. So evolution cannot be true.

Evolution 0 Creationism +2

Also it looks like a chimpanzee

Evolution 0 Creationism +3

Also it has curved fingers. Using tools? Bah. Probably a calcium deficient diet.

Evolution 0 Creationism +4

Also it was buried in a cave. They say its a "burial ground" but the remains were probably just washed in there when the water canopy broke during the flood.

Evolution 0 Creationism +5

Remember evolution is just a theory. On Darwin's death bed he prayed to Jesus to forgive him for the sin of introducing such heresy.

She runs like a Rolls Royce and will probably live to over a 100, much to William's chagrin. Will he have any hair left?

'Theocratic Warfare' - Do you know when and where it started?

by EdenOne in

we all hear this notion of "theocratic warfare", and how it is used to justify jehovah's witnesses to lie or withhold the truth even under oath, based on the reasoning that we don't owe the truth to those who aren't entitled to it.

but, can we put our finger on where this doctrine started?

well, brace yourselves, here it is.

Hi EdenOne,

I believe the Watchtower already used it in the 1940s. They called it the "Rahab technique".

Lol.

HOWARD HUGHES, Jesus Christ, and the problem of genuine (original) documents

by Terry in

bible scholars acknowledge the absence of original writings of the bible or even of the early generations of copies, recopied copies, up through the next several hundred years.since the details of the history, words and activities of jesus and his followers entirely depend on the accuracy and historicity of the bible, i started thinking about a modern day parallel.. ___________________.

when billionaire eccentric howard hughes died in 1976, the search was on for who might inherit his vast fortune and business holdings..a gas station attendant named melvin dummar stepped forward and told an amazing tale.

dummar claimed that while driving through rural nevada one night in december of 1968, he pulled onto a dirt road to answer the call of nature.. he says he found a scraggly, bearded man lying injured in the desert.

Hi Terry,

Your comparison is interesting. The problem is that Howard Hughes was pretty nuts to do what he did and to leave his affairs in the state that he did.

And that would be the same problem with the testimony provided within the gospels. When given the opportunity at his trial, if Jesus had showed the Pharisees or Pilate a divine act, the matter would have been settled. Or even if Jesus had shown some exceptional insight to Pilate when he asked: "What is truth?", things would have turned out differently. But Jesus kept silent. What better place to demonstrate truth or divine authority than a court of law (Sanhedrin and the Roman trial)? But he chose not to demonstrate any authoritative power and so he was crucified. He got what he wanted but then still expected everyone to put faith in him. That's not a satisfactory way to prove who you say you are.

I would also like to draw your comparison further to the modern day. If God was prescient, then allowed almost 2000 years to lapse after his son's death, knew that technology would develop to its current state but then neglected to provide ample proof of what occurred back then, and to top it off insisted that people should absolutely believe in its authenticity, it actually points to a pretty unbalanced nutty super being.

A ship (no matter how big) will ultimately sink if it has a hole

by iconoclastic in

humanity is like a ship, and holes are our hobbies (lust, greed etc.

which are fondly renamed as each one likes) which always have been outperforming what science could accomplish!

most of the greater or significant scientific achievements started from 19th centurymay be with the commercial transmission of electricity!

Look at the way the Titanic film was made, it is the reproduction of a great maritime disaster that happened in 20th C, yet its producers included a love-making scene which exposes the lust... Entertainment industry thrives on filling the movies with lust, greed and violence, which people copy later in their lives. Some of the high profile terrorist attack had its precedence in movies.
