Although time is fairly well recorded, this “time” may or may not have coincided with our current understanding of how time is measured. In fact, from the records of wars, it would make more sense if they recorded each aspect of their lives in a different manner. In fact, this is seemingly supported without a doubt in viewing the patterns in which war is recorded.

The right to freedom of belief and religion applies to everyone from every religion so it is not fair to deprive Witnesses from that right. There is still a chance to save many innocent Witnesses lives and stop them from being killed. It is a violation of the human rights to put someone to death without a fair trial by jury.…

    I believe that the three religions should be grouped together as each seems to branch off from the previous religion. Judaism is the oldest of the three and provides a good foundation for the other two. Christianity came second as a branch of Judaism. There are talks of Jesus and Abraham in the Islam religion showing that it is also a branch off of Judaism, however it isn’t tied into Christianity as much. Each of the three religions are monotheistic, they each worship a single god, the same god so it seems.…
