SPEAKING IN TONGUES
by D wiltshire ini am a believer in christ have been df'd since 7/01, but left the jw's in my heart for some time before that.. i feel that the gifts of the spirit didn't end in the 1st and 2nd century but should continue until the church is no longer on earth.. i have been to serveral different christian groups and have heard many speak in tongues, but to be honest i'm not very impressed.. it seems to be, not supernatural,.. but more like the reaction you get when you jump in very cold water, and get a terrible chill that makes your jaw vibrate.. the women seems to be the most prominent ones in speaking in tongues, so i wonder if it is just an emotional response, more than any thing else?.
and if paul said to limit the speaking in tongues to just 2 and only if there is an interpeter, why does the speaking in tongues become so prominent at these meetings?
and how come i never hear a translator interpet what is said?.

On the Discovery channel last night
by uncle_onion inlast night i got home and turn on the tv.
just finishing was a (uk) discovery program about a recently found piece of papyri that supposedly can be dated to the time of christ.
did anyone watch this last night or have any info on it because as i understand it, the book of matthew has been dated a lot later than that.. uo

Any ideas?
by uncle_onion inthis weekend i spent the weekend with a few xjws.
we had a nice weekend but eventually we got round to the subject of why i am having a problem accepting that jesus was the messiah.. a friend of one of them came around and he had brought an article which he wanted me to read.
i have scanned the article and have posted it here.

The WT fake chimp (for those who missed it)
by Mr Ben inafter a discussion in the live chatroom i realised some did not know of the watchtowers fake chimp.
i first saw it as a link on janhs old site, but i can no longer find the url for the original, which i believe was from the norwegian agnostic society, or something like that.
the next time a dub calls on you ask them why they are forced to believe that chimpanzees do not have canine teeth.

Your thoughts on this letter please.
by sleepy inhere is an excerpt from a letter from the society.. jehovah has endowed us with free will.
as such he has implanted in us the faculty of choice.
he does not force us to act or think in a certain way, nor does he employ his sevants to do so ( 2 cor 3:17).
