How does the WTS view 'ancient humans' (i.e. fossils assigned to the genus Homo)?

by LoveUniHateExams in

having read i love ttatt's thread about evidence for humans living more than 6,000 years ago, i responded by using neanderthals and homo ergaster as evidence.

.

this got me thinking about the wt's current view on 'cavemen' (), etc.. so, how does the wts view 'ancient humans'?

Growing up in the truth i had an interest in collecting fossils.

One day the PO came visiting our house for the evening, he noted my fossil collection and began asking very pointed questions.

He was such a moron with a nasty streak, He simply could not comprehend that these could not be a mere 6000 years old.

In the end he had a private talk with my parents, they then called me quietly and told me that i would have to agree with him that these were formed within a 6000 year period or we were going to have problems.

I went back out and later that evening he began the same conversation, I just simply became a yes, so correct, johova is amazing, answer to everything as, "i didnt want my family having problems". This was one occasion that woke me up to the scam the society forces on followers as to science, a lack of reality to facts, and a FORCED acceptance of what i didn't want to accept.

This Makes me remember all those Elders whom gave me crap growing up in the truth.

Just look at the elders giving evidence at the Royal commission in Australia, Too "Dumb" to realize they are on TV making fools of themselves.

Watchtower sued for Racketeering in California

by under the radar in

a little birdie informed me that a lawsuit against the watchtower bible & tract society, its legal department, and several individuals (perhaps lawyers in the legal department) has been filed in the superior court of the state of california, county of los angeles for, wait for it.... racketeering!.

that's right, folks, you heard it here first.

i have no other information, other than the case was stamped "aug 07 2015" and the docket number appears to be bc590675.

It would be nice if this one gains traction!

Dissent on JW-Archive

by bemused in

in the posts about the australian royal commission there have been several references to discussions on jw-archive.

i'd not heard of that site, so checked it out.

it seems to be used by many active jws - its tumblr style archive is full of pictures of jws doing their thing.

How Far Apart Were Your Legs?

by Joe Grundy in

several threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.

fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.

a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

These arrogant elders need to be taken to task.....

Shame on them!

The Librarian librarian@jw-archive.org

the caption reads:

@beloving74 shares with us: “My daughter and I in service with the invitation work. Both of us suffer from anxiety disorder but all things are possible with Jehovah and we were even able to start pioneering for the first time. Almost been a year and going to pioneer school together in September. Jehovah can truly give you the power beyond normal if you truly believe and have faith he has your back and holy spirit will help you.”

Sad that both of these lovely looking people suffer from anxiety disorder!.

From Wikipedia;
Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear,[2] where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events.[2] These feelings may cause physical symptoms, such as a racing heart and shakiness.

Why do so many Witnesses suffer from this problem?. Surely the Happy GOD would be giving peace of mind and contentment with the knowledge that you will be surviving in a paradise.

And yet thousands of witnesses are on anti depressants. In my old Congregation i can count 12 out of 100 publishers, now apply that worldwide.

I am sure if the above 2 folk were to free themselves of this religion they may no longer suffer such problems.

Why Is This New Batch of Governing Body Members So Stupid?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

well there are lots of reason for sure, denial, delusion, wishful thinking, ego maniac, infantile understanding of ancient writings, satanophobia, xenophobia, out of touch with reality, limited choices scrapping the bottom of the barrel,and many more.. listen to this ted talk and see if you can pick out something that helps explain why these guys are such ass holes:.

organizations are often run according to the superchicken model, where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others.

and yet, this isnt what drives the most high-achieving teams.

mana11

One thing they are Stupid about is the INTERNET.

They have the ability to buy up all relevant domains and seal out all domain names close to jw.org or names such as or similar to this site for example.

Eliminating all similar names to their portfolio removes threats to being several steps away from their organizations domain realm.

They can spend millions on a TV studio and yet not seal their worlds presence on the net.

Crazy!

Ghana jw.org call for retraction

by mana11 in

we have read with interest the above front-page headline and its articlewhich was published on page 3 of your newspaper the chronicle of june 22, 2015. in the article, the writer, alfred adams of takoradi, reported that rebecca dankwa and her mother, believed to be worshipping at the jehovahs witnesses church, refused to accept blood transfusion on the grounds that their religion forbids blood transfusions, and she died as a result.. as representatives of jehovahs witnesses in ghana, we write to point out the misinformation contained in that report.

our investigation into the matter has clearly established that the said rebecca dankwa was not one of jehovahs witnesses.

since this person mentioned in the report was not one of jehovahs witnesses, we are at a loss as to why the name of jehovahs witnesses should be linked to the story.
