i've been having a bit of an email exchange with elder dad and i need some advice.
i thought i was getting through to him but i think my criticism and tone became a bit too strident in my last email and now he thinks that i am attacking him personally.
i think he has dismissed everything i said because he perceived me as 'overally critical, and rude.. .
" The thin bones in the fins of some fish strengthened in order to let them..." How did the bones determine that was necessary, and carry out the specific processes necessary to carry that out?
Good ol' 'Natural' Selection?
" Gradually fish were able to come onto land more and more."
So, it was a Joint Venture, eh? Fish all over the world made up their minds to live on the land, and forced their boidies to develop accordingly?
That is why Evolutiuon is even more retarded than even church dogma.

How does the Tooth Fairy (Natural Selection) help the first fish
(ASSuming the first living 'amino acid cell' was able to survive & develop)
that 'wanted' to become a land animal begin choosing modifications
so it could move about on LAND, and the physical attributes it would need to survive
THAT new environment?
How long does the fish keep flopping onto the shore?
Since, according to the Magic Formula of Evolution,
adaptations of this magnitude take "millions and
millions of years", how do OTHER fish carry out his
objective when he dies? Do millions of OTHER fish die, flopping
around on the shore, until some changes finally begin taking place?
When magically being able to walk around, eat, find shelter, etc
on land, how does it reproduce, unless he is joined by a female companion?
Has one been evolving "side by side"?
(We know what evolutionists will say: autogamy- SELF reproduction...
for, as with Religious discussions, they will grasp at ANY
straw to support their belief- but this 'fish' is now a different creature-
HOW did it reproduce?)
Can any kind of honest ANSWER to such serious questions be given?
Do you have a fear of discovering yourself Wrong- or
WELCOME it if you are; NOTHING is more important than the Truth!
Overthrow Gullibility!
To elaborate;
Think of how EVERYTHING in the first living organism had to change to an EXTREME degree:
it's 'brain'(motor center'), a skeleton, organs, nervous and digestive system had to be formed-
and much more! AND they had to do so in HARMONY with one another!
To accomplish that, SPECIFIC methods had to be chosen and PERCEIVED!
Buuut- they have no intelligence, and there is no God to direct!
So all the impossiblilites of this scenario take place by one accident after another-
trillions of times in an organized series of patterns!
Adults have their OWN Fairy Tales!
while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.
i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.
this has left a huge hole in my soul.
It is simple: If the wicked are NOT destroyed (or made into mindless robots) than nothing will change.
Pretending he won't is to throw the Bible away.
No, DOF; self-employed, and bureied with work!

Purr whined: " While I'm glad I found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything I've believed in my whole life. I feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life. This has left a huge hole in my soul. Just what do I believe in now? Is there a god? I feel like I need god in my life, I just don't know where to find him anymore??? Help??"
By saying that, you never believed in anything but what men said. Try believing what GOD said.
this i never understood, the publications say that gods name translated from hebrew is yaweh.
why add a whole bunch of letters and vowels that change the sound of the name completely?
i've often thought surely we would gain greater respect on the ministry if we used a name that is historically and verbally accurate?.

(1) I'm curious: why do you argue for the Watchtower when you don't even follow their mandate to stay away from "apostate" websites?
Me: Because they are not ny Leader, and they don't do my thinking for me.
(2)This is the hypocrisy of JWs like yourself. You argue for the rightness of WT and condemn anyone who disagrees with their theology, yet you yourself ignore their counsel when obeying it is inconvenient.
Me: So, to AVOID being a hippo- I SHOULD let them think 4 me?
(3)Why should I, or anyone else here, take you seriously or listen to anything you have to say????
Me: Why should I give a damn if any of you take me seriously? Are you implying YOU can't think 4 yourselves?

One eyed says " If you want to extend the meaning of the word abstain to a complete avoidance of any use, then the WT's current blood policy is apostate, since it allows the use of fractions. Not to mention most vaccines, which I'm sure you've taken, are derived from blood in one way or another. To truely abstain from blood in every way, you need to stop vaccinating."
And, I agree- and don't take their view.
The Truth stands, whether the WTBS falls or not, whether those leaving point fingers or not.
If one has come to know the ONLY true God and His son, and have faith in THEM- bad examples by org or JWs will NOT kill their faith.
If one has faith in MEN- it ALWAYS falls.

"Creationists" is society's label for those who believe in the CHURCH version of creation: all things made in 6 literal 24-hour days. Adam and Eve living in Jurassic Park.
That is NOIT the version of Creation in the Bible we hold to...
as you know i am still in but have no strong conviction for this cult..but i still go because my wife is still asleep to the false teachings.
for a few months now...when we have family study it is stricly from the bible.
which is great, while we study we are taking the bible as it is, i think it is opening her eyes and how important jesus is.
I read " Crisis of Conscience" years ago, underlining all the errors and simply LIES.
If you believe everyting it said, you are both gullible and know little of scripture.
