  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

  according to the jw doctrine, mankind has tried every form of goverment but ultimately failed to rule successfully.

  so many wars ... we really need big j to sort things out.

  what a swell guy.

  Not to mention that God supposedly drowned everyone. Or that he had a "chosen people". Or that he had that chosen people commit genocide against a half dozen other nations . . . or the whole Jesus thing where all his "true followers" were constantly killing all his other "true followers" to determine who really had the providence of God.

  Humans might just be able to rule over humans if religious people would stop claiming to speak in the name of some higher power.

  The Society, Race, and an always white Adam.

  okay, it's an old question but we haven't examined it here yet so let's have your thoughts.. adam was the progenitor of the whole human race, from his genes sprang the negroid, caucasian, mongoloid, indo-european and every other race on the planet.. the hebrew people were not selected as jehovah's chosen nation until abram had found favour with god so presumably all races were equal in his eyes before then [as indeed they always have been].. so then, what basis is there, if any, for deciding what adam and eve's skin colour may have been?.

  could they not indeed have been black?.

  this is a pointless discussion i grant you.

  Mitochondrial Eve lived in the Rift Valley over 150,000 years ago - so she was certainly black. But since when does the WT care about getting the science right?

  Demonizing the Watchtower

  by IslandWoman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  our 'beloved' old faith tried to teach us to hate other religions and all things that smacked of anything that was worldly.

  they demonized all things outside of their religion.. are some of us in danger of carrying that same thinking over to our new lives as former jws?

  could some here at first start out as an anti-cultist but in time allow this to become a 'religion' in itself?.

  This is something I occasional see on some threads - some minor detail about the WT is blown completely out of proportion. But, on the whole, I think most on this forum make valid points and are reasonably fair in their critiques about the Borg.

  It's also noteworthy that a lot of what we point out isn't necessarily the WT doing something wrong. Rather, it's that what they're doing is completely hypocritical to the standard they hold everyone else too. For example, I have no problem with a religious organization being an NGO member with the UN. But it's the WT calling the UN the "wild beast" that makes the association such a scandal. Or that it says that Elders reporting crimes to the police is a "conscience" matter - but then tells couples they can't hold hands during meeting. Strain out the gnat - gulp down the camel.

  Kate: Thank you for your posts. Much better you're not shitting all over the chess board now.
  Crofty: Is there any need to behave like that? I'm not asking you for any information apart from an explanation of your own errors.

  The Cleveland Police Union has sent Governor Kasich an open letter requesting that he temporarily ban Open Carry in city for the next couple of days. He said he "doesn't have the power".

  I think he meant to say he doesn't have the will power.

  you're too narrow minded

  Wow, Kate, make things personal much?

  
  Didn't you just make an entire thread where you cried because Crofty, on this specific topic, said you were being intellectually lazy - and now you're responding with a blanket statement saying he is narrow minded?

  There's a difference between saying, "Crofty you're being stupid about X, Y, or Z" vs saying, "Crofty you are just stupid". Do you think these kind of blanket statements are going to be persuasive to him? Or informative to anyone else who's reading?

  Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to show up in Cleveland this week for the Republican National Convention. Muslim groups. Anit-Muslim groups. Mexican groups. Anti-immigration groups. Black Live Matter. Anti-Trump groups. Pro-Trump groups. The West Borrow Baptist Church. Code Pink. And a host of other conservitive and liberal causes.

  Suffice to say, there's going to be a lot of contention among the protesters. Protesters mad at the RNC. And protesters mad at other protesters. What really makes this a disaster waiting to happen is Ohio has an Open Carry law and protesters will be allowed to bring their guns. It doesn't matter if its a pistol on your hip, a shotgun draped over your arm, or a assault rifle strapped across your back it's all perfectly legal (ironically toy guns and water pistols will banned in the protest area though).

  The New Black Panthers and the Oathkeepers (a white militia group) have also both promised to come armed. I can't think of the last time we had is such a politically and culturally charged event where people with diametrically opposed views are going to be in direct contact with each other - much less armed with guns. Despite the police bests efforts, I'm not sure which the right question to be asking. Should I be wondering if a protester or cop is going to get shot over the next three days? Or should I be asking how high the death toll will be?

  Maybe I'll just stay away from my social media and TV this week . . .
