Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe something starts as a hypothesis, meaning "I think this is true". Then if under the scientific method it is proved true it becomes a theory and from then on the theory is "Ok this is true, what more can we learn about it"?

When is a theory 'just a theory'?
by HB inthe titles of cofty's excellent recent posts are all preceeded by the words "evolution is a fact...".
richard dawkins is encouraging people to use the term 'fact' in relation to evolution, especially when debating with creationists as the word 'theory' is confusing to many, and the latter often takes the discussion off on an often unproductive tangent.
the following may be of interest, it's from the bbc website - part of a regular series of articles called 'the vocabularist', discussing the origin and meaning of words: .

Shunning ? did JEHOVAH shun Satan ?
by smiddy ini don`t know if this has been addressed before , however it appears there is an inconsistency and a big one at that with the practice of shunning with jw`s.
elders / ministerial servants look out for the spiritual health of the congregation , and if they see something they feel is detrimental to the spiritual health of the congregation they are going to act to rectify it, .
they take appropiate action where they think is necessary .

Jdub's could say that since Satan and demons have been cast down to the earth and are in Tartarus they have been effectively shunned. All make-believe but that is something I think they could fall back on. Just like even when you are DF'd but official announcement has not been made from the platform, people and elders will still talk to you. -

So I live in the area of the 'Valley' wildfire in northern California. I just returned home after 3 days evacuated. There is a family who run a fitness center and had opened their doors in disaster relief to affected people with beds, food, clothing and shelter. The scumbag JW owners of the bldg that is being leased got wind of it and are now evicting them.

Brigette Schieberl is the JW. I sent her a message about her "charity". Also, here is what I posted on a few FB pages. Respond appropriatley if you so wish............
"the Schieberls are Jehovah's Witnesses who say everyone who is not a JW are controlled by Satan and are going to die at some soon to come Armageddon. They pride themselves as being the "only true religion". Their organization does NOTHING as far as charity in times like these and most JW follow suit. I know as I was a JW for over 30 years. When 9/11 happened in New York and other businesses just outside of the devastation area were opening their doors and helping people the Watchtower Headquarters there shut and locked their doors for 24hrs as devastated people past their building looking for help. For our area at this time of fire crisis, all of the local Kingdom Halls (what they call their churches) did not open doors or help non-member people in ANY way. I cannot post on Schieberl's FB page but did send them a 'nice' message. Please pass the word as to who these people are. The info I just gave you will be the best weapon in helping the Fernandez family. Also do research on Google and Youtube by typing Jehovah Witness Child Abuse. They have a HUGE problem with that and actively cover it up and protect pedophiles while excommunicating victims that speak out. Read some of my recent FB posts."

Remember the two elderly sisters?
by John Aquila inabout a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.
if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.
here is the link.

I had requested them to put shepherding concerns in writing.
by quincemyles inlast week, i had requested the elders to put their shepherding concerns in writing and that only one elder visits me because i am uncomfortable with two.
well, today they approached me and said we are not able to write to you and we are going to see you the two of us.
i felt how inconsiderate and disrespectful of individuals the watchtower machinery is.

Awesome and damning questions for them. Great that you remembered Jackson's statement. His admission is a great weapon against them. -

"Foreign education teaches children to live happily and teaches independent thought... it fosters creativity," read one comment. That focus on creativity appeared again and again in the discussion. "China's education is just cramming... it is solely performance-based," the comment continued. "For years nothing has changed. Students [in China] are taught like robots," wrote another. The same criticism was leveled at the country's higher education system. "China's university education system is really weak, most teachers only pay attention to their script," one comment read".
The last underline reminds me how JW meetings are run. You DO NOT deviate from the "script" of the meeting!!!! I laugh (sadly) now at the WT claim that other religions are "ritualistic". WT meetings and life in general is a complete and absolute ritual. And everything is "performance based"......"Do More"!!!!!

Exposing one's identity. When?
by kairos ini've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.
( "reaching out", so to speak ).
i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

With the threat of legal action coming directly from the Deputy I'm thinking the Legal Dept. will tell them to back off. -
