  sparrowdown: I am finding threads leading back to WT that are just as someone else has said - bizarre.

  Yes, some of the connections are bizarre.

  When I was exploring down one rabbit hole, I discovered a company owned by a JW -Guenther Reibling (Lorenz's brother) - that, like the company under discussion in this thread, was also concerned with the biofuel market.

  Funny thing is, that company morphed into a marijuana growing company - still owned by Reibling.

  "Biofuel" --->>> marijuana.

  Makes sense. ;)

  mynameislame: Note their web page is http://watchtowerdocuments.org/ which appears to be an exjw site?

  • I am not sure that the site you link to is all that reliable.

    Watchtowerdocuments.org is Barbara Anderson's site.

  Phone number search turns up

  Yes. If you refer back to the fourth post on this thread, biblexaminer has already phoned them.

  This Website Was Mentioned By The Governing Body

  2. experiences

  okay, so at the "imitate their faith" ca there was a special speaker from the gb.

  and he started discussing psalms 1:1 and how we today could "sit in the seat of scoffers".

  he then mentioned that many bros. and sisters criticize the org and think they are so smart by researching online.

  JW elder in Oklahoma, USA...now in JAIL!

  ronald lawrence has been in the news before, though it was believed that the statute of limitations would keep him from being charged as a criminal.

  i stumbled across this the other day.

  trey bundy did a report on one of ronald's victims, but it looks as though more have stepped forward since.

  Dwain: New news item!!!! This is from today! Feb 15th 2016

  That article was "Published On: Sat, Feb 8th, 2014".

  It might be showing up on your browser in 'todays' paper', but it comes from archives. I have made that mistake in the past, too.

  biblexaminer: I found out more. I called the phone number.

  I am impressed with your 'on the ground' research. Well done.

  We can cruise around the internet all we like but there are some things that just aren't online and it takes 'hard' research to get answers sometimes.

  Acts: Then I would have to wonder why you are here on a religious forum - but I think the answer is evident

  Of course it is evident.

  There are many members here who are EX Jws. Myself included.

  Stay with your lack of belief - I won't try to change you. Nevertheless, intransigence hinders so very much of ones potential.

  Ah...a sophisticated (and arrogant) putdown.

  Evolution and Atheism - please help

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not being familiar with either, my question is:.

  what is the relationship between evolution and atheism?.

  i'd love to hear from anyone and everyone, and also from any perspective.. without limiting the conversation in any way, i would of course also appreciate comments that are simple, clear, direct and correct (as i don't have the capacity to do a phd in evolution or atheism)..

  sbf: Scientific facts are socially constructed just like other facts. True today, gone tomorrow.

  All knowledge is socially constructed.

  Inherent in the scientific method, is that the process is designed to prove 'facts' wrong and to re-adjust hypotheses. It is how the scientific method works.

  On the other hand, religious thought tries to 'prove' itself right.
