Funny how so many times these scientists 'discover' something 'new' about something, for example, Neanderthals, and their new light doesn't add to a dimmer light but reveals something radically different. Kind of like the Governing Body shedding new light. Funny how some dismiss the Governing Body as lame brained know nothings but these scientists are just showing everyone how smart they are.

Neanderthals - Meet Your Ancestors
by Earnest intonight (sunday, 13th may) at 20:00 on bbc 2 ... for neanderthal believers, agnostics and deniers.. this first programme in a two-part series investigates what neanderthals looked like and and how they lived in their ice age world.
it turns out that almost everything we thought we knew about them is wrong.
they weren't hunched, grunting, knuckle-dragging ape-men at all.

Do any of the JWs go out door to door with a territory any more?
by Spiral ini actually had a neighbor ask me that the other day (she knows i'm an "ex" jw) and i didn't really know the answer.
i know there's a bit of cart witnessing going on (small town) and a lot of driving around to return visits.. but are they actually doing territory, not-at-homes, all of that?
the neighbor said that eight years ago, when she bought her house, the jws were by "all the time".

working the doors (to death) and keeping all the records had gone away.
How many thousands of times did I walk away from a 'Not at Home' and stand on the sidewalk, in front of the house, look back at the number and write it down, all official and professional like. That must have been a sight from peoples living room window.

JWs on campus
by Sarabethy init's my first time on this site though i am no stranger in the ex-jw community.
i come to you now asking for your assistance in what to present to the dean of students at my university.. why am i meeting with dean of students, you may ask?
because today, while innocently finishing an assignment in the school library, i happened to look out the window and see the jws with their stupid little cart.

"I am so excited to hear the Sunday morning talks at this summer's convention"
by Sour Grapes ini have a super uber jdub relative who lives several states away.
he is always trying to encourage me since he knows that i stopped going to the kingdom haul.
anyhow, he sends me a copy of the program for the summer regional convention and pointed out the sunday morning talks.

Send him the outlines. Tell him that being as he was so excited about the coming talks, you interpreted it as a request for the outlines. Send the outlines to all of your 'in' relatives. Tell them so and so requested the outlines and you thought they all would like copies. Wish them a very happy convention.

The implement of Christ’s death
by lastmanstanding insimple physics.. the timber that was used to execute jesus had to be substantial.
thus, its weight could not have been carried entirely, but rather it had to be dragged.. get a log with no crosspiece, one substantial enough to nail a man to, and try to drag it through town.
try to get a hold of it without it sliding out of your grip.

Give me a simple piece of rope and I would quickly make the log easy to drag. A cross indeed. As for the weight and distance, who knows?

How long is a generation?
by LevelThePlayingField inwhat splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.
and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.
but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.

I noticed that Splane when he was attempting to splane things kept using the phrases like, we just don't know-for the sake of argument- and suppose. I don't know about others but I sure as the sun coming up n the East will not base any amount of belief in a argument based on supposition and we just don't know!
If Splane was giving testimony in a court room and kept making the 'suppose' and 'for the sake of' arguments, the presiding judge would warn him to speak only the facts. After a couple of warnings he would be charged with contempt of court. Any testimony he gave would be ignored as valueless and he would be labeled as a witness lacking credibility. If not ushered out the front door he would be removed, in handcuffs, out the back door.

Giving it away is easy. The really hard part is making the money.
