if elders can't be held responsible for with holding information about pedophiles and protecting the flock then i'd say "NO" to your question about elders being held responsible for allowing spankings.

kansas is holding a debate to decide.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/education/05/02/life.evolution.reut/index.html.

topeka, kansas (reuters) -- evolution is going on trial in kansas.. eighty years after a famed courtroom battle in tennessee pitted religious beliefs about the origins of life against the theories of british scientist charles darwin, kansas is holding its own hearings on what school children should be taught about how life on earth began.. the kansas board of education has scheduled six days of courtroom-style hearings to begin thursday in topeka.

Actually from my point of view God is the one who framed the natural laws so even though an individual tornado is merely the obedience to those laws doesn't mean he can't control them when He wants to:

Jesus and the storm.
Parting the sea for the Israelites.
Enoch moving the mountain (or is that just in LDS history.?)
Plagues of Egypt.
Darkness at the time of the cruxifiction.
New star at Jesus' birth.
Walking on water

Q....so bascially what you said in the first phrase is that "GOD DID IT". maybe he didn't actually cause the tornado but he "caused" the forces that made the tornado. that reasoning is not scientific!!! remember that the idea of god's are as old as mankind. the greeks believed that the forces of nature were the direct result of gods but they assigned god's to each natural force so you got apollo as the god of the sun, hephaestus as the god of fire, psoeidon the god of earthquakes so on and etc.

i'm not saying that there is no god or even that god didn't created things BUT what i am saying is that for science class to teach intelligent design is wrong b/c it's not scientific!! it should be saved for philosophy class. get it?

qcmbr....you misunderstood me.....the purpose of science is to find out how things work. but saying that things work because "GOD DID IT" or "GOD MADE IT SO" is not a scientific explaination. for example....as recently as the last 100 years people belived that tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes etc. were an "ACT OF GOD". through sceince we have found that these natural disasters are actually due to forces in nature and can be measured, tested and recreated. so it looks like "GOD DIDN"T DO IT". get it?

THE WHOLE REASON FOR SCIENCE IS TO GIVE AN ALTERNATIVE EXPLANTION TO "GOD DID IT". THE IDEA THAT "GOD DID IT" IS OLD. THERE IS NO GOD IN SCIENCE, THUS THE THEORY OF INTELLIGENT DESIGN IS ITSELF, BY DEFINITION, UNSCIENTIFIC AND SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT IN SCIENCE CLASS....THAT'S FOR SUNDAY CHURCH!!

question-- if a jw is disfellowshipped for having too much association with a non-witness- is this jw likely to be refused a reinstatement as long as he is associating with her-- and if so- will he be allowed to talk to her again to some degree after he is reinstated?

SO WHY HASN'T PRINCE BEEN DISFELLOWSHIPPED YET?!?!?!?!
