I remember doing that in high school biology class. I got in front of the class and read my paper on creationism out loud. The teacher gave me an A even though he believed in evolution.

Children in classroom
by ollied28 inhello.
i was wondering if someone could tell me where i might find the example of a young jw standing in front of the class to (boldly) defend creation vs. evolution.. i would like to contrast it with the example from the "bible teach" book about the student challenging the teacher,.
i believe there was an illustration of a young boy standing up in the classroom for his "beliefs".. thanks..

We're going to impeach Trump . . . and make Mexico pay for it!
by Coded Logic ini have little doubt articles of impeachment will be drawn up on trump within the next year or so.
my only question at this point is what are they going to get him for?.
collusion with a foreign government to subvert an election?.

Village Idiot,
4. showing signs of mental illness is not a cause of impeachment. The constitution only prescribes for impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanours.
...that would fall under Constitutional Amendment 25, Article 4.
I get your point. At least he can be removed from office if it were determined that he's nuts.

Apparently there are still ones in New Orleans area that got their privileges taken away because they didn't turn over their checks.
I'm surprised that they had the integrity to do that. Hopefully they were 'stumbled' by that and may leave the Witchtower.

Really now! So if a president were to become schizophrenic he should still be allowed to be president?

What sir82 said.
It's better for the nation (U.S.) not to have Donald Trump impeached. That will make Mike Pence the president and that could be worse. Pence is a true believer - a radical conservative - and doesn't have the excess baggage that Trump does.

Site Updates
by Simon injust a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.
deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.
worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

Governing Body-Part of Great Crowd
by TakeOffTheCrown init appears that the governing body members today are part of the great crowd and are not of the anointed.. to those with some knowledge of the subject, is it possible that the christian congregation would eventually be lead by those who are not anointed?

The Bible is convoluted as it is. Add Watchtower doctrine to that and it gets worse.

What do You Think About Hybrid and Electric Cars?
by Village Idiot inbattery technology has been making leaps and bounds in affordability and energy output throughout the past decade.
while pure electric cars currently have limited range, the near future holds prospects for longer ranges.
hybrids, and recently plug in hybrids, have a mileage of up to 50 mpg* giving them a range of 500 miles from a ten gallon gas tank.

Jookbeard,
in London our electricity substations are powered by huge diesel generators as are most cities in the UK,...
As I mentioned in a previous post, clean power would eliminate that problem.

What was it like being a JW in the 1960's and 1970's
by UnshackleTheChains inthis is obviously a question for the older generation.
i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.
was the society as strict as it is today?.

Rebel8,
We were told constantly from the platform that disco was created by tribes as a demonized fertility ritual that promoted homosexuality. (Don't ask me how a fertility ritual promotes homosexuality. I have no clue!)
Maybe they were all bisexual?
