hello and excuse my not perfect knowledge of english.
when i've started studying the bible when i was 13 one of the first subjects i was teached was about genesis.
the first two humans were supposedly perfect which by bible's means it meant that they couldn't die nor get ill. this meant that at least humans couldn't get diseases.
so now that most of us have come to a semi truthful understanding that the witnesses are wrong about evolutionist, there is a certain question that i have always had.
now if you were to ask any jw, they'd recite a complete fallacy from scientist regarding this.
but what is you guys input of this.

i was at walmart when i seen a disaster survival kit.
then something came to my mind.

the thought suddenly struck me plain and obvious: "these dogs won't stop until i'm good and bloody.".
there were two of them; a mixed breed of boxer and pit bull; clean, white--collared, tagged and--for some inexplicable reason, ferociously intent on tearing me to shreds!.
ah, but i'm getting ahead of myself.
I've been through a couple of experiences where I was a dog's hair away from getting bit and mauled from a couple of dogs.
My first experience was from my former JW landlady's German shepherd. I had been recently disfellowshipped (Apostasy) and had moved out of her house. I went to visit one of the only JWs who would still talk to me, also a tenant of hers, then the landlady showed up with her dog barking mad at me.
She looked at me with the most evil beatific smile and dropped her leash 5 feet in front of me. I froze; didn't twitch a muscle. The tenant I was visiting had to tell her to take control of her dog. I almost wish he would have bitten, it may have made me rich after suing her for her house.
I also got into a similar predicament as you when riding my 3 wheel recumbent from work. It's an unusual bike where you sit on a seat instead of a saddle and your butt is 8 inches off the ground.
It was night and I noticed what must have been one of the neighbors taking his dog out for a walk. When the dog owner saw me he raised the arm with which he was holding the leash and released it. I had to turn a corner fast, without tipping over (see picture) with the dog rapidly approaching me just 3 feet from my neck before I outran him. It wasn't a large dog but boy was it ferocious.
On another night when I got off from work at the same time same guy, same dog, same thing. I knew I would not be able to turn the corner again and stay ahead of him so I brought the bike to a full stop and confronted the dog by putting up a display of the most primitive rage you'll ever see in a human. I was hoping to scare him away by displaying a willingness to fight.
The dog did stop but I could see him curl up his lips, a definite warning sign, as he countered my rage with his own version.
The owner, who must have been 50 feet away from his dog, told me it was all right then called me "chicken". I guess neither him nor his canine fiend liked recumbent bicycles.
My advise is:
1) Get the most intense and largest pepper spray available. You can spray it on your legs, arms or abdomen in order to dissuade the dogs from biting you anywhere.
2) Sue the bastard who didn't keep his dogs secured.
Imagine how close to my neck this beast would have been:
last year my daughter had her first birthday and all my wife's family and friends were there.
my family didn't attend.
my mother and sister still believe in the jw teachings even though they are both considered inactive.
"I know I should respect other people's beliefs..."
You don't have to respect beliefs. You can respect persons but ideas are abstractions.
in this video the popular saudi cleric sheik yahya al-jana discusses the joys of paradise, saying that men will have the strength of a hundred men in paradise and will be busy tearing hymens, while the virgins of paradise, whose breasts are like pomegranates, become virgins every time again.. the cleric also explains it is mostly men who enter paradise noting that women in general are bad because they refuse to wear the veil, they wear tight clothes in shopping malls, put on perfume and jewelry, and use filthy social media platforms.
source.... this is what young men from conservative muslim families are raised on.
is it any wonder islamic countries treat women appallingly?.
SecretSlaveClass & GrreatTeacher, did you notice the firearms that the right wingers had? How many assault rifles did the left bring?
i remember once asking how the planet could possibly accommodate all the people who have ever lived?
after the resurrection i mean.
the answer i was told is that the gb had calculated that all the people who have ever lived could all fit on to the isle of wight?!.
Bungi Bill:
"I can remember once reading a Plain Truth magazine, in which the author (presumably H.W. Armstrong) made the claim that there are large bodies of water trapped in the ground beneath all the world's deserts - and thereby inferring that irrigation should not be much of a difficulty."
He's right, those deserts have a huge amount of water in their aquifers:
when i first learn ttatt i started telling every one.
ttatt will not help him, it will destroy him.
all his family are jws.
From my experience I'd say that you need a combination of integrity and curiosity. Integrity is first and foremost and curiosity follows.
Without integrity you'll be likely to stay in no matter how curious.
Without curiosity but with integrity you may stay in for a while but your integrity will eventually catch up for some reason and you'll be out.
