(na i was just messin) however as a Jehovah Witness we do have a connection with the new world order, in that a certain president of the united states of America, his mother was a witness! i let you guess which one.
Is that a joke, or do you really mean it?!
Originally posted by robbie carrobierobbie carrobie what do you make of the this issue in the JW issue. that saul when he visited a medium and the spirit of samual arose from his sleep, your JWs are saying that it was a demon??. Well since the demon spoke the truth as to sauls death seems your way belive that demons beyond gods grace speak the truth. I belive what the bible says in this matter and they do not say it was a demon, nor does it dismiss it as faulse.
No way, it was added on later by a member of the illuminati.
Originally posted by stokerquite clearly, as is indicated by Solomon, in the inspired word of God, the dead are conscious of nothing, the are therefore incapable of influencing the world of the living. that being the case, quite obviously then, this was an apparition, not the actual spirit of Saul. how can one see a spirit? it cannot be done. how can the dead influence the living, it cannot be done. whether daemons can speak truth or not i do not know, however, it seems quite clear from other biblical accounts that they do indeed, for example Paul cured a girl that had a 'spirit', of prediction, Christ cured a daemon possessed man, that spoke the truth concerning who Jesus was. what have you to say for yourself now my friend?

you must understand first and fore-mostly why we have come to this evaluation, for everything we profess, has a biblical basis, whether others agree with the interpretation or not!
you should learn to trust what we print, it is well researched and always corroborated. i shall provide you with an example, there is in one of our publications, a picture of the city of Babylon, with a ziggurat in the middle. The angle of the picture is such that it is viewed as if one is looking up to the ancient walls from the river Euphrates. The question was posed, that it would not be possible to see that ziggurat given the dimensions of the city of Babylon and its close proximity to the Euphrates river. what did we do? we built a three dimensional scale model of the entire city and projected the viewpoint upwards, and yes indeed, it would have been possible to see the ziggurat. There is nothing that we shall not do, to try to ascertain accurate knowledge, even in small details like this. Have confidence, what you are reading is truth!

I'll rephrase the sentence for you Rob.

Because you're nuts. I can't take anyone seriously who believes in a literal account of the Flood.

EDIT: only an absolute moron would use galveston's ice cap "proof" for the flood when the author of that article mentioned the ice caps to be about 450000 years old

Originally posted by robbie carrobiethe others are not quite as abnoxious as you. but yes, if you wish to be thorough, anyone believing in a thorough flood is a fundamentalist. anyone believing in "scientific proofs" about the flood is a moron.

one thing to be really devout and believe in something because god tells you to. quite another thing is to actually find evidence where there are none.

A biblical basis is where im coming from, but please tell me how the bible says its faulse that it was not samual woken from his sleep
truth is you belive this im not sure if one could or could not see ziggurat since ive never quetioned it, but i belive you are fitting to your belief not the other way, mind you i think most faiths do that, even me.
Originally posted by stokerok, you may disagree, however here is the biblical precedent, part of the biblical cannon and held to be inspired by all.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) . . .For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they any more have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion any more to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.
this is biblical, i did not write those words, nor do i see much grounds for interpretation either. daemons are one thing, apparitions another. If this is the case, then one, using ones powers of reasoning, of necessity, must conclude that if the dead have no 'portion any more', and that they cannot influence the living, then it could not have been Saul, nor his spirit.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieyes but it does not say they do not exsist, just the wages, jealousy, hate, love has.

Galvos excellent ice caps and temperate climate theory
Are you kidding me?! Do you really believe that or is that a wind up?! His 'evidence' that the ice caps were only 5,000yrs old had a paragraph which clesrly stated the Vostock ice core was 450,000yrs old!!!!! Buffoonery of the highest order, which you now call 'excellent'.
