i am wondering if anyone is aware of a book or series of videos designed to explain evolution to creationists, (specifically the jw strain of creationism if possible) without being patronizing or overly confrontational.
i would like to have something to recommend to people who challenge evolution, but i know that the sources which convinced me would turn most of them off because of the confrontational and at times condescending tone in which it's presented.. some examples of what i'm looking for would be someone who doesn't claim evolution is a fact until after they have presented all of the evidence that makes it a fact and also have addressed as many counter-arguments as possible..
Saethydd,
I am wondering if anyone is aware of a book or series of videos designed to explain evolution to creationists, (Specifically the JW strain of creationism if possible) without being patronizing or overly confrontational.
This book is about the talking points that Creationists make and the response that science gives. Its 500 pages long in oversize pages. Very well written and worth its price:
Science and Earth History: The Evolution Creation Controversy by Arthur Strahler.
i note the recent post that quoted 1 timothy 2:11-12 and colossians 1:23 which place women at a level that is lower to men.
the poster accused paul of this mysoginy, but that is not correct.. 1 timothy, 2 timothy, titus, colossians, ephesians and hebrews were written after paul's death.. paul was not a mysoginist; he made full use of women in leadership roles.
he wrote that in god's sight there is neither male nor female, for all are one in god's sight.. doug.
What, pray tell, was written by Paul?

At least you acknowledge that somebody in the Christian establishment wrote those pathetic verses. It's the Bible that's misogynist. The John Doe who writes these verses reflects the general attitude that his comrades had.
while growing up in the cult one thing that always bothered me was the way witnesses could forecast jobs/occupations that we're going to vanish in their new world.. for example, we would usually discuss at saturday night wt studies how doctors, nurses, funeral directors, and soldiers would go the way of the dodo.
i always found discussions like that just so strange.. in hs, i mounted an unsuccessful effort to enter veterinary sciences, the big answer was always "why" it won't be needed after armageddon 😝😜.
does anyone have their own story about professions that the witnesses believe will not be needed after the big a ?.
Firearm manufacturers, unless those petted lions start gobbling up those children.

I knew a JW girl in High School who said that her boyfriend's occupation was going to be needed in the "New Order". He was studying to be an architect.
i have seen some discussions related to the "kingdom" book, and the recent studies, but, i didn't see the one pertaining to the second chapter of the "kingdom" book.
i may have missed it.
if i have ...mea culpa.. chapter 2, paragraph 29 & 33.
Charles Russell was very explicit as to what, when, and how things would happen. He wrote it in explicit detail in his six books Studies in the Scriptures:
beardless jesus in watchtower publications between 1930s and 1960s.
a simple detail 'deliberately' left out.
the question is why?.
It was once believed by the Watchtower that a perfect man would not have a beard. That is how they portrayed Adam.
it's now time to clear out my old literature lest it fall into the right hands.. there is a fairly large range of books, volumes, pamphlets and various keepsakes.
some are unusual, say, part issues of the aid book and a live forever book that has had paragraphs altered in subsequent copies.

How far back do they go?

We'll see how far this gets. It's going to get uglier, that's for sure.

Hard evidence is completely lacking in the Trump dossier case, which is why we should question it.
Such "hard evidence" would compromise the manner in which intelligence is gathered which would not be in our national interest.
