  (1)how many of you out there, back when you were still a jw, heard the bros say "yeah the cong is a little cold cos of <insert scapegoat here>, but there is genuine love among the country congs/ the foreign lang congs etc??

  (2)how did you respond to that remark?

  did you accept that concession or did the absence of unpretentious love in your cong continue to bother you?

  I don't want to propogate a stereotype but I did experience a much more caring atmosphere in the few italian congregations I grew up in. They were mostly first generation immigrants and they were close knit because they had alot in common. After these were dissolved and we were sent to the english speaking congregations, I found little genuine concern and a whole lotta leeching. True...there was more socio-economic and cultural diversities which made a congregation wide bonding less likely. But I'm still utterly amazed at how many witnesses were around to ask all sorts of favours of you in the name of brotherly love, but how little there are when you may need to ask something of them.

  Golden Age Goodies

  recently i had the pleasure to examine a stash of 1920s and 1930s golden age magazines, among the rarest of watchtower publications.

  i thought it would be a fun idea to have a thread in which i share with you some of the amazing, ridiculous, hilarious things contained therein.

  hence, this is the first post of a series of excerpts, scans, etc.

  Germany is a superb team and I think they'll knock out my Azzuri. Italy got as far as it did because of Buffon.

  in case you missed it, blondie has more posts than anyone on jwd now.

  i believe her watchtower summary is one of the best weekly items we look for.

  plus she's one of the sharpest persons on the board.

  "The Wedge" or a wedgie for evolutionist?

  "the wedge" or a wedgie for evolutionist?

  on a resent thread (the origin-of-life foundation, inc. the secret $1,000,000 prize) the question was asked: why would the origin-of-life foundation, inc. want "to keep the project as quiet as possible within the scientific community"?

  Dog,Dog,Dog....dont you realize that no "creationist" will ever be smart enough to be an evolutionist. I mean, its what we have been taught here. So stop questioning it, and creating dissent.

  As far as I've seen, its all about being able to question here. And assessing which position has more or less merit, is a natural part of that. When it comes to this issue, evolution has alot of support from several independent lines of evidence, and special creation has none. I wouldn't call creationists less intelligent. I won't stereotype because I've seen some rather stupid atheists who go along with the idea of evolution, because to them, it validates their apish lifestyle. I do think that many creationists are minimizing or discounting evolution based on something other than objective consideration of the evidence.

  Take me for instance. I'm wholely convinced that all life has evolved here from previous life. But the complexity of even the simplest bacteria leaves me unsatisfied with the current proposals of abiogenesis, and I'll admit that I like the idea of panspermia. But am I enticed by that idea because I simply can't conceptualize a path by which life arose from abiotic matter here? What does moving the process to another unknown and hypothetical spot accomplish? Isn't it then just a variant of the creationists' god-of-the-gaps? No-one has called me a moron here on this discussion board for throwing around the idea of panspermia. Although someone did insinuate I was prime fodder for the scientologists.

  You can spend 6 hours at any point in history, where and when would you go?

  by nicolaou in

  you are only an invisible observer.

  you cannot interact with people or the surroundings at all and will remain unaffected by the experience.

  history will not notice you.. so, do you choose to be present 3 hours before and after the big bang!?

  I don't think 6 hrs would be enough for me to really find out more about early christianity, so I'll split up the time to address other matters of interest:

  • About 2 hours at Fatima (including the time of the Miracle of the Sun).
  • About 1/2 an hour to 1 hour with Mac Brazel and Jesse Marcel in July 1947 at the Roswell debris field. If there actually was something more than Project Mogul, I'd spend all the rest of the remaining time following the recovered stuff and listening in on whats being said. More realistically, I'd get bored after the first 20 minutes...so....
  • I'd like to spend half of the remaining time listening in on the most recent Presidential briefings and to bring this whole posting full circle...
  • the remaining half will be spent worshipping in silence Madonna (The Material Girl)

  The French team was impressive! I hope they really give Brazil a match that'll make them sweat.
