though school i did religious education and my teacher who was religious ruled out evolution because humans are the only creatures who do not want to die, can anyone who understands evolution explain this?.
im 99% on to the theory of evolution, this is just the last stumbling block..
"Humans are the only creatures who do not want to die..."
I think your teacher was referring to the fact that humans seem to be the only creatures that are aware that they will someday die whereas animals only react to present threats. If so then the reason for that is that we seem to be the only animal who, due to the evolution of our brain, has a concept of the future and our place in it.
take your pick!!.

TheOldHippie, "JWs are not creationists."
Huh? Jehovah's Witnesses are creationists.
thank you, jw.net and cofty, for redirecting me to the right organization!.
when i posted why did god permit scriptures to be corrupted?
then i thought, if there is an organization that believes all scriptures are corrupted (which obviously makes it enemy of all religions), that organization is not ordinary, but gutsy, lionhearted, and worthy of close examination!
i remember that was a rumor going around shortly before i left the jws.
whatever happened with it?
I don't see why they would eliminate the Circuit Overseer position since it's the main way in which headquarters cracks its whip at the elders to keep them in line. Any large hierarchical organization needs a middle management.
By the way, was there ever such a thing as Branch Overseer or Zone Overseer?

from the nwt, of course.
none of the other versions make it sound any better, either.
