Cofty don't let SBF get to you. You're better than that. Sometimes his posts are interesting, however he apparently has some sort of bone to pick with you.
SBF I thought you left? I guess you changed your mind again. What a Drama Queen.
in recent years significant progress has been made in solving the question of how life originated on our planet.. how do you think theists will respond when it finally happens?
as a former christian i know my reaction would have been something like "well that just goes to show that it takes intelligent life to make life", but for two reasons that defense doesn't work.. firstly it would prove that life is not an ethereal force that originates with god.
there is no 'ghost in the machine', no elan vital.

I believe it will be some time before the majority on this planet except evolution, much less that there is likely no god(s). It's often said we're in the 21st century for goodness sake, bemoaning the lack of people's ability to accept reality.
In contrast to this view I'm amazed at how far we have come in such a short period of time. "Origin of Species" was written less then 2 centuries ago. We are essentially the same biologically speaking as we were 10,000 years ago. Emotions and the subconscious rule the day for even the most educated among us.
I believe mankind's progress on a global scale will only occur when neuroscience cracks our codex. I am hopeful that this will happen in my children's lifetime. They both have yet to see a decade pass.

for those who've never read these incredible books by our friend ray franz.. here are links for both.

happy reading!.
Rays book stands separate as it is written by a one time member of the GB. Anyone that was a JW knows how impactful that is. I grew up as a JW and never knew a GB member left. Much less wrote a book that gave an inside look on how the organization ran. That was a game changer for me, as has been expressed here by many others.
I'm out of patience. The excuses are tiring. This is not a rewrite or an original where all the sources need to be checked. Make the damn thing available online and charge a fee.

The Wt. Organization could not have kept this off the shelf better. When is it to long? 1 year, 2 years, 5 years? This was not her work. She obviously can't get it done. I have no problem paying for it as I'm sure others don't either. It's just not available and there is no eta on its avaliablity either.
example blood factions, organ transplants.
suicide from disfellowshipping , breaking up family's with old oral sex policy.
Those bastards are damn lucky my child survived. I agree with Simon I am responsible and would have held myself accountable along with the Bastard Kings in NY.

JeffT I'm not saying it's easy to publish. Just saying in todays age if she can't get it done let others do it. I'm not in a position to do so. If I had the rights I would just put it out there for a nominal fee or free. A free online pdf or a paid pdf is rather easy to set up. Apparently there were not problems with cease and desist letters being sent.
Again the fact this is still not resolved is ridiculous.
