  Why are the evolutionist's so upset?

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so many evolutionist's on this forum are upset at the terror attacks in europe such as recently in sweden.

  it is just a logical step in the evolution of the human race.

  should you not rather be celebrating the great changes taking place right before your eyes and constructing detailed explanations of the cell structure and dna development in the human brain.. you can't eat your cake and still have it.

  Why does God have to be brought into this? I suspect most evolutionist's limit their belief to mere cellular changes. Why does evolution not play a part in developing these cellular changes in the brain and therefore create thinking patterns that lead to a religious belief? Maybe this evolution of the brain leads to susceptibility of being influenced by argument. If evolution is indeed true, why does it not play a role in everything? If the lion kills the antelope for food the evolutionist argues that it developed the ability through many cellular changes in its body. Why does the evolutionist not also argue that thinking patterns, beliefs if you will, religious or otherwise, are merely the result of evolutionary changes. As the lion develops skills to kill prey, some of the human race develop the ability to manipulate others to control their thinking. They are a different kind of prey. The hunter gets what they seek, whether food or followers.

  Why are the individuals who make up the Governing Body so deluded

  surely these men must see what's going on.

  if they can afford fancy pinky rings, they must have smart phones.

  if they have smart phones, they must be inquisitive as to how they are perceived.

If they have smart phones, they must be inquisitive as to how they are perceived. If they are inquisitive as to how they (the GB) are perceived, then they will be reading all sorts of things about them - critical or not!..."

  You are in the theatre. You have a show that is selling out every night. People love you and they tell you that, often. At each show a couple of hecklers sound off in the back rows, in the distance. You can barely hear what they are saying but you ignore them. What are going to do? Cancel all your fully booked, sold out shows because of a few hecklers in the background? Pack your bags and call it a day? I don't think so.

  I wouldn't put it past the GB to look at the internet 'hecklers' comments just to have a good laugh. I would if I was in their place.

  Reminds me of the Twilight Zone show 'The Monsters Are Coming To Maple Street'

  Just a coincidence them using Maple Street in a presentation discussing the 'supernatural'?

  He knew exactly what he was doing. Young lady with a minor coming to the door. Bring out the camera. Then post it for all to see on the internet. I'm sure more than a few public prosecutors would love to lay a few charges.

  - intent to corrupt a minor

  - corrupting a minor

  Some states would have hefty maximum sentences. Maybe 10 years, maybe more. His defense attorney negotiates a deal. Pleads guilty and only gets 4 years. Then off to crowbar hotel. A lot of family men in there. They all know about the video. They all plan what they are going to do to bring him some pain. A lot of pain. Lot's of time to plan, after all, he's in there for 4 years. Many of them are lifers. They have lot's of time to plan, prepare and execute. Just like he planned, prepared and executed his little video. Public prosecutor gets his/her conviction, percentage of convictions goes up, they look good when election time comes, they get elected, they go looking for more internet perverts trying to corrupt minors. The circle of justice keeps revolving.

  Anthony Morris - The Higher Education Broadcast

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last night i had jw broadcasting on in the background while i was working, i like to keep up to date with their crap.

  which is strange because when i actually was a jw i hated reading or watching their material.. anyway, on the streaming section, anthony morris comes on screen telling me that higher education is bad and "the better the university, the greater the danger".

  i never would have believed it if i hadn't seen him say it myself.

  Anthony Morris lll certainly would condemn worldly music such as Willie Nelson's ,

  'Mama, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys.'

  '...Mamas' don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
  Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks
  Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such...'

  Better to pick guitars and drive old trucks, which they certainly will be doing if they are not educated.

  $25,000 for one-day assembly in our area

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they started out with a $3,500 carry-over but by the end of the day they were short $25,000.

  the speaker eloquently beseeched the audience to go the atm machines and give their generous contribution or at least their widow's mite.

  after the sessions were over, our friend who attended walked from one end of the assembly hall and then to the other end and noticed long lines up to both machines with people who couldn't wait to run up their credit cards.

  '...After the sessions were over, our friend who attended walked from one end of the assembly hall and then to the other end and noticed long lines up to both machines with people who couldn't wait to run up their credit cards...'

  This would be an excellent time to do all your banking transactions, transfers, check all your account balances,etc. Some people can take up to 15 or 20 minutes.

  Evolution Deniers - An Endangered Species

  evolution explains how everything descended from a common ancestor over millions of years.

  creationists only seem to want to talk about what came before that common ancestor.

  just for the sake of discussion let's pretend that the following is true.

  24 - SALES SUPERVISION

  For the encouragement of the faithful workers in

  the field we take this occasion to say that the records in

  our office show that during the last year the classes which

  have followed explicitly instructions and suggestions sent

  out from time to time by the SOCIETY, have obtained the

  best results and the workers have received the greater

  blessings. This is exactly as we should expect it. If we

  believe the Lord is directing his work in an organized

  manner, then what else could we expect than that he

  would direct his work in the sales of literature and books

  in a harmonious manner? We hope during the year to

  see every consecrated one engaged in some part of the

  service work, giving what time each can. We urge upon

  the classes, in harmony with the Apostle's admonition,

  that every class and every one in every class do show

  forth the same diligence to observe the prescribed rules

  for pushing the Lord's work and to do everything in

  their power to further the interests of the kingdom that

  is at hand.

  There can be no doubt the cart work is being blessed.
