  There is science that prove God exists

  by HopeEverLasting in

  jehovahs witnesses think that just the bible is proof that god exists but they are wrong.

  there is another mode for how he exists.

  now we all know many scientists who are creationists now weren’t creationists until they examined the evidence for themselves.

  Hope: OrphanCrow may I ask why?

  So that I know what it is you are talking about when you say that the answer is 'God'

  What does your answer mean? Please define 'God'. Please define your answer

  latest update from 18 july 2016. good afternoon,.

  i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.

  we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

  jwdaughter: It has changed our world

  Yes, in large ways

  Speed is the digital god and the faster information travels, the more currency it generates...and the shallower our information becomes

  I don't mind waiting

  For detailed, accurate reporting. It is worth it

  Paranormal Warning

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've heard some weird stories coming from jws about the paranormal.

  i know about the warnings about items that come from unbelievers -- those don't interest me as much.

  what i am interested in are actual experiences in stories of the paranormal you've heard or experienced yourself.

  Yup, Vidiot. Sleep paralysis was one of the first out of the chute *you lazy bum*

  Huh. My son has sleep paralysis and has since he was little. Probably still does. He also sleepwalks

  And I sleepwalk. It makes for some interesting lucid dreaming experiences

  We both have something wired not quite right with that part of our brains. Sleeping can be quite the adventure at times

  Looking for evolutionary info on how smells can be carried on DNA

  by Crabby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as i said last night the smell of pus from an infection is recognized by all puppies without their being exposed to the smell previously, this is shown because all puppies react the same way to this smell, which is to lick the infected pus laden wound.. this demonstrates that smells are carried on dna in some way.

  any thoughts on how?.

  The borg is fighting tooth and nail to not turn over sex abuse records, and the press is taking note :)

  cofty: I'm genuinely puzzled by their legal tactics in this case. It seems perfectly designed to maximise damage.
  What on earth are they hoping to achieve? Now they have seriously annoyed the CC who have the power to hurt them. Why did they not welcome them and give them complete cooperation?
  Is it just arrogance or is it possible that they know they are sitting on a problem of such proportions that it will destroy them?

  Me too. Puzzled

  So much of this doesn't make sense

  I will add questions:

  Do they have the backing of entities who have a mutual interest in keeping child abuse secret and enclosed within the power of an institution? Are there larger interests being served? How deep do the pockets go and why?

  vidiot: Pssh.
  The WTS is "charitable" the way Bill and Ted were "guitarists".

  Well, yeah. We know that

  Now the rest of the world can find out too

  The 'charitable' work of the WTS has only been undertaken because it was required activity to qualify for tax breaks

  The WTS has done all sorts of contortions and misrepresented themselves on tax returns in order to fall under the third sector umbrella.

  For example, in Canada, the individual congregations' tax returns list an elder as "Fund Raising Chairman" (a few years back...not sure how they file now). That is quite the transformation from being a "Shepherd of the Flock", an elder ...in charge of spiritual welfare...only. And, the fund raising activities fell under "Pamphlet Campaigns"...you know, like canvassing towns to invite people to the Memorial. All the JW 'religious' activities were re-labelled in order to qualify for filing as a 'charity'

  I only wish that their entire tax filings were made transparent. They should be - it is the public who gave them their tax breaks. It is time they are held accountable

  darspilver: Why has the Guardian only reported it today?

  ...ummm...good journalism takes time, manpower and the stories generated by that commitment bow to precedent?

  Sorry, darspilver...your personal concerns about the WTS do not sit at the center of the universe

  You sound like you have been spoiled by the speed of the digital world. Good journalism still requires human beings to make it function and relies on solid research (time)
