... even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of 'this generation' nearly 70 years old today.

It is now official: Another falsified Watchtower prophecy

"jesus was obviously speaking about those who were old enough to witness with understanding what took place when the 'last days' began.

... even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of 'this generation' nearly 70 years old today.

" awake!

Yes... I believe they lowered it to "10 years or less", then "5 years or less", then "born in 1914".

I have studied the average maximum lifespan of the verified oldest people and it increases about 1 year every decade, so we will have to wait 6 years for the next, 12 years for the next, and 17 or so more years until the "born in 1914" people all pass away.

My friends, effective May 12, 2016, this WT prophecy is officially false.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susannah_Mushatt_Jones

Susannah Mushatt Jones passed away on May 12th. She was the last living person that was born before July 28, 1899, exactly 15 years before the beginning of WWI on July 28, 1914.

The two paths of exJWs

by Simon in

it's easy to think of exjws as being a single amorphous group but the more i think about it, the more i believe that there are two distinct sub-groups and wonder if you agree.. there are those who believe and those who don't.

i know that seems obvious but let's break it down a bit more.

there are those who don't and never believed and some who are looking for a religion to match their beliefs.. i used to think this split would be between born-ins and converts but of course it's possible for born-ins to be believers although i suspect that many, like with other faiths, do so simply because they have never experienced anything else or made a conscious choice.

ILoveTTATT2

I think that my "religion" is an evidence-based life. I believed in the JW's, in the Bible, in God, until the evidence proved otherwise. The second I read jwfacts and confirmed what it said, I stopped believing in the JW's. The second I confirmed that the Bible has contradictions and that it has followed a tortuous path to get to us, and that there are many different versions, let alone translations, that was sufficient for me to stop believing in the Bible.

And when I learnt about evolution, that was enough for me to stop believing in "God", as in the God of the Bible.

Now I am a "6" on Dawkin's belief scale, and I think it would show great hubris to be a "7".

Evolution is a Fact #2 - DNA Functional Redundancy

by cofty in

in the first thread in this series we looked at how the same protein molecule can be assembled by many different sequences of amino acids.. we took the example of cytochrome c and saw that there are many times more possible sequences than atoms in the known universe.

however the sequences in humans and chimps are identical, and as we look at species less closely related to us by evolution the more differences we find.

this is very compelling evidence for common ancestry.. in this post we are going to look more closely at the dna code behind those amino acid sequences.. the "language" of dna is made up of just 4 "letters" - a,c,g and t.. sequences of letters are read off in groups of 3 called codons.. acggcctcgaatgccttc would be read as acg gcc tcg aat gcc ttc.

ILoveTTATT2

The 4 letters are:

Position 56
Human:C
Chimp: T

Position 110
Human: T
Chimp: C

Position 140:
Human: C
Chimp: T

Position 246:
Human: C
Chimp: A

Survey: How long were you in the cult vs what year you were baptized

by ILoveTTATT2 in

jw
friends

hi people,.

i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

ILoveTTATT2

Hi everyone:

I spoke with a friend who's got a PhD in Economics and he told me that I need to make a "time to death" graph, it is done in hospitals for analysis of whether one treatment leads to less mortality or not, and it is used by engineers to determine time to failure, etc...

So it can be applied here... the "time to failure" is the time from when you were baptized to when you came out. It can be compared between decades...
