THESE RESPONSES ARE BASED ON MY 40 YEARS AS A JW, WHILE I AM NOT NOW, I CONSIDERED MYSELF PRETTY KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT THE TEACHINGS...HOWEVER, YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY! I HAVE HEARD STUPID COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE BUT RAY FRANZ INTRODUCED ME TO MANY ARGUMENTS ABOUT JWS THAT I NEVER KNEW EXISTED BUT HE WAS RIGHT! Women have one less rib, THOUGHT THAT WAS MEN? The human skin is made mostly of dust, NO, BUT THAT HUMANS WOULD RETURN TO DUST BUT WAS MOSTLY MAKE OF A FEW POUNDS OF CHEMICALS...OTHERWISE, NEVER HEARD THIS Nobody knew before job that the earth was round, YES, ALWAYS TAUGHT THAT Jerusalem was destroyed in 607bce, YES, ALWAYS TAUGHT THAT Aluminium is evil, (seriously!) NEVER EVER HEARD THAT...THAT HAD TO BE A WACKO BROTHER Ageing is down to one process that if switched off could stop ageing....NEVER HEARD THAT, THEY NEVER KNEW WHY WE AGED OR WHAT PROCESS PREVENTED IT BUT IT WAS JEHOVAH THAT TURNED IT OFF The internet is 98% porn, NEVER HEARD THAT EXACT FIGURE BUT THEY WOULD ACT OR THINK THAT WAY. MANY BROTHERS WERE JUST DOWN RIGHT IGNORANT ABOUT THE INTERNET. BEING A COMPUTER GUY I KNEW. HOWEVER, MANY INTERNET ADVANCES WITH STREAMING VIDEO WAS THE RESULT OF IMPROVING PORN SITES. If evolution was true why dont monkeys turn into men now, (painfully ignorant) YES, ALWAYS TAUGHT THAT Dinosaurs were used to flatten the earth, NEVER EVER HEARD THAT BUT THEY ALWAYS SEEMED TO GLASS OVER DINOSAURS AND WHEN OR HOW THEY FIT INTO CREATION The flood made the mountains, HALF TRUTH, NEVER MUCH DISCUSSION ON OTHER GEOLOGICAL TYPE EVENTS THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED All species of animal could have originated as 200 'kinds', I DON'T REMEMBER HEARING THIS BUT THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING TAUGHT IF I WAS A BETTING MAN!!!! Neanderthals are human (latest evolution brochure) NEVER HEARD THAT BUT MABYE? NOT SURE Masturbation can lead to poor health and even child abuse/homosexuality/ etc ... erm LOL, NEVER HEARD THAT THRU ANYTHING I EVER STUDIED BUT I CAN SEE WHERE SOME MIGHT DRAW THAT CONCLUSION AND IT CERTAINLY IS SOMETHING THEY WOULD LOVE TO BUY. IF THERE WERE TRUE, THAN 99.999% OF ALL MEN WOULD BE CHILD ABUSERS OR HOMOSEXUAL!!!! The photo by NASA was the first time we knew the earth was round for sure, NEVER EVER HEARD THIS. THERE WAS PLENTY OF SCIENTIFIC PROOF PRIOR TO NASA OR SPACE THAT IT WAS ROUND. Atomic bomb testing causes earthquakes and tsunami's, NEVER EVER HEARD THIS Psychology/Psychiatry is dangerous, THEY NEVER RECOMMENDED IT BECAUSE IT WAS BASED ON MEN'S WISDOM BUT EVENTUALLY THEY REALIZED THEY WERE IN NO WAY QUALIFIED TO COUNSEL MANY PEOPLE WITH THEIR PROBLEMS. THE BIBLE DID NOT HOLD THE ANSWERS OR HELP TO EVERY ISSUE PEOPLE WERE EXPERIENCING! |
