Were Daniel and Jeremiah contemporaries?
by shotgun ini've recently read who wrote the gospels, it mentioned on a side note from the gospels that daniel was probably written around 200 bce not during nebuchadnezzars reign.. in daniel chapter 9 he mentions reading the phophetic words of jeremiah about the 70 years of servitude.
jeremiah lived in a different land (judah) while daniel was in babylon.
how would daniel have been able to get jeremiahs scrolls seeing they had just been written and also the position daniel was in as chief of nebuchadnezzars magic practising priests would not have bode well for real jewish worshippers to think about making any saturday morning placements with him.. the book i read states that jeremiah, daniel and most of the other books seperate from the talmud were not canonized until around 200 bce.. any thoughts on this or have you done or read anything on this subject.

Are the days of the week Pagan?
by shotgun insomeone posted that the wt should discard the calendar and the days of the week as pagan because of their origins.
actually they did and tried to replace it with their own.
didn't last but it shows the mindset of those who were telling everyone god was directing them at the time and still today.

It may not be a scandal but it's certainly Scandalous, alternative service
by shotgun inin 1998 the wt addressed concerns where many felt like they served prison time needlessly due to refusal of alternative civilian service which upto 1996 had been considered the same as military service.
*** w98 8/15 p. 17 strengthening our confidence in gods righteousness ***feelings of having suffered needlessly.
6 in the past, some witnesses have suffered for refusing to share in an activity that their conscience now might permit.

Mickey Mouse or Jesus Christ
by shotgun inthe last convention i went to was about three months ago now....ahhh i remember it well...zzzzzzz.
the c.o got on the stage and counseled ones to plan theocratic vacations instead of regular type hot-spot get away vacations.. he then proceeded to say many brothers spend their families vacations by taking them to disneyland instead of a bethel tour.

New Light on Blood transfusions
by shotgun in.
american medical association researchers have made a remarkable discovery.. it seems that some patients needing blood transfusions may benefit from receiving chicken blood rather than human blood.. it tends to make the men cocky and the women lay better.
.......just thought you'd like to know.. please forward this on to your local liason committee.

Millions of Galaxies in the Universe with billions of Stars so why?
by shotgun inrecently a public speaker noted that the earth and humans are insignificant in comparison to the universe with its millions of galaxies and billions of stars.
my question to bible literalist's is... why did god confine satan and his demons to the vicinity of the earth with so many other uninhabited options?.
why not restrict them to uranus with a bunch of meat puppets to beat up?.
