I think 6 senses: the conventional physical 5 (touch, taste, hear, smell, see) and the sixth: instinct. We sense danger from the time we're very young.
That's my two cents.

This Generation... a question
by AlphaOmega indoes anyone know what the typical "christendom" view of "this generation" is ?.
i was just mulling over the "new" jw view that it refers to the anointed, but don't see how that fits, as at the time that jesus said this to the disciples, the anointing hadn't aken place - they were merely "anointed in waiting".. .

Christendom is pretty broad and varied. I have only asked two people in "Christendom" about this. One was a Jesuit priest for many years. Basically, his take
was that Jesus was referring to his contemporaries who would not pass away before Jerusalem was destroyed. That was his take. He is no longer a priest. He
had some problems with his belief system, that oddly enough, I had with mine.

Yes. He is a Bethelite and Gilead graduate. He is now a missionary in an Asian island nation. I am not sure he "woke" up, but he did leave because of doctrine.
He and his wife seem happy enough doing what they're doing.

Ken Miller on human evolution
by freefly inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi8ffmbyckk&mode=related&search=.
do you believe we evolved from primates?
what are your arguments against human evolution?.

Being raised a JW I always dismissed evolution as a "plot of Satan."
However, I do not see the idea of Creation and Evolution to be incompatible. If one believes in God as the Creator, why should the idea of
a very long miracle be anathema to the faith in the diety that brought it about? The idea that man evolved from a lower species seems more
acceptable to me now than it did before becuase I have actually read what others say about the issue instead of simply reading what the WTS
says about the issue.
One thing is certian and undeniable: life does adapt. It finds a way to survive.

If you believe in an all powerful, all knowing God, then you cannot escape the conclusion that he KNEW all the things that would occur once he set them in motion.
Holding to that belief, Paul said that God had made some as vessels for an honorable use and some as vessels for a hishonorable use. What choice does the clay have
when it is the potter that is molding it?
So the idea that we are free moral agents seems to me to be at odds with a belief in an all knowing, all powerful diety.
And yes, I knew what Rutherford taught. My grandparents were enamored with the Judge. I wish they had never met a JW.

1-15-08 WT - I have a scan of 2 pages
by Bonnie_Clyde ini have a scan of page 3 and page 23. don't know how to post them, however.
page 3 is an introduction to the new format.
study articles will be shorter, giving the audience more time to comment and more time to look up cited scriptures.

It will at least keep the old timers in until they die and leave their estates to the WTS.
