Have any teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses ever been changed because earlier beliefs were found to be incorrect? If so, how can you be sure you have the truth NOW?

Did Jesus have dreadlocks?

did jesus (yah'shuah) have dreadlocks?
today, many who have dreadlocks as a casual hairstyle know very little about the origins of dreadlocks.

What did you do as a child (or adult) to survive boredom during meetings?
by Wasanelder Once inwhat did you do as a child (or adult) to survive boredom during meetings?.
as a child i remember sitting behind a sister with a pink angora sweater.
i would pull of a bit of the lint from it and tilt my head back and place it above my lips a bit.

I would frequently attempt "out of body" experiences, and got to the point that, whether or not I really went anywhere, I may as well have been gone. Other times, simple things like crossing my legs and flexing my thigh muscles helped meetings pass much more quickly.

Not sure about Eve, but Adam looks a lot like Hugh Hefner.

Demon Haunted World
by jstalin inhas anyone here read demon haunted world by carl sagan?
what a great book.
he lays out the requirements for using critical thinking, and then debunks a bunch of bs - like ufos, esp, etc.

I agree, Carl is sorely missed. That, and his other books, are simply magnificent. Most of his detractors don't attempt to refute the rational arguments he presents, so they appeal to emotional hotbuttons instead.

What sort of symbiotic relationships do you have?
by AK - Jeff insymbiosis is a close ecological relationship between the individuals of two (or more) different species.
sometimes a symbiotic relationship benefits both species, sometimes one species benefits at the other's expense, and in other cases neither species benefits.
ecologists use a different term for each type of symbiotic relationship: .

If a car were a living thing, most people would have a symbiotic relationship with it. The human works to own the car, spends money to operate and maintain it. The car provides convenient and rapid transport for the human. Some "cars" carry very heavy loads and large bulky objects for their humans. As for actual living creatures, I have fish and newts which I enjoy caring for. They live in a small "universe" insulated from the outside world, and their needs are met. I "benefit" by enjoying them, although they don't really do anything practical, unless the relaxing effect they provide is considered.

Saturday Night Live did an amusing parody, called Brokedown Goldmine, (or something similar). It involved Alec Baldwin and Will Forte as two grizzled old prospectors acting as if they had very special feelings for each other, i.e. "I haven't found any gold yet, but I found something so much better" (in wheezy old prospector voice).

There are things that simply cannot happen because they defy the laws of physics, and then there are things that are merely beyond our technological capabilities at the moment. In 1885 or so, Lord Kelvin claimed that "heavier than air flying machines are impossible". Yet, within 18 years, they were a reality. Sufficiently advanced technology allows people to do things which would have been attributed to gods in earlier times. So, some things will never happen, such as already mentioned, reaching a temperature below absolute zero (because you cannot remove heat from something which has NO heat remaining). Similarly, there is a maximum vacuum which can exist, and no greater. Other things, such as time travel, especially into the future, MIGHT be possible with application of a very large technological lever. It is believed that travel into the future is going to be easier than to go backwards, and it may in fact prove impossible to ever return.
