There are some numerical discrepancies in the Qur'an:

ONE: 39:73, 41:30 [the Garden], 57:21 [a Garden], 79:41 [the Garden], or
MANY: 18:31, 22:23, 35:33, 78:32 [each time: "Gardens"]?

The plural "Gardens" has to refer to at least three because if it/they were two, then the Arabic would use the dual form of the noun. Therefore this is a discrepancy of at least 200% from "one" to "several".

and if "the garden" is "a garden" consisting of many "gardens" each of which can be referenced as "a garden". ..then why can't you beleive that there are 3 parts of God...Jesus, Holy Spririt, God...that is three...but Christians say that is one...

I've always known he was quite spiritual, as is apparent in many of his songs, in fact, he usually has at least one spiritual song on each record or cd. For example, The Cross, Looking for the Ladder, Beautiful, Loved, Blessed, etc...I knew he was Christian by his works, but I didn't hear of him being JW until he married Manuella.

I was recently watching a documentary on TV and this American gentleman was building himself a "real fine custom motorcycle"(yawn). He said "I can't wait to see the audience's reaction when I wheel THIS into the arena".....

Well, I for one correctly predicted the audience's reaction- they started howling and whooping like baboons.

This is an interesting cultural phenomenon because European audiences certainly DON'T whoop. Does anyone know the origin and purpose of this howling and whooping, and when it started? Am I right in thinking it only started in the mid- eighties?

Hezbollah handing out American 100$ bills??? Why don't they use Syrian or Iranian money?

American money is backed by the American govt. Do they have more faith in the American govt. than the Syrian govt.?

Quite contradictory huh?

Think about the really ghastly terrorist incidents over the past two decades - the 1983 Beirut Marine barracks bombing (242 dead), the 1988 Pam Am 103 bombing (259 dead), the 1993 World Trade Center attack (6 dead, more than 1,000 injured), the 1994 bombing of the Buenos Aires Jewish Center (86 dead), the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam (291 dead, 5,000 wounded), the 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole (17 dead), September 11, 2001 (over 3,000 killed), the 2002 Moscow theater hostage-taking (94 dead), the 2004 Beslan school hostage crisis (344 dead), the 2004 Madrid train bombings (192 dead), the 2005 London underground bombings (56 dead) and the 2006 commuter train bombings in Mumbai - formerly Bombay (at least 200 dead).


In each and every case, the killers were ... ? That is correct, sir -- Muslims! What other religion condones savagery committed in its name? Jesus said turn the other cheek. Muhammed said cut off the other guy's cheek. The Torah says show kindness to strangers. The Koran says: If you can't convert them, kill them.
