  hey bad boy,

  personally, i think there is a really easy way to make a JW think:

  put the brakes on any conversation that involves the bible. they consider the bible home turf, so if you pull it out from under them, they are left to discuss the posible existence of God with you, which invariably ends up as an evolution vs creation conversation.

  at this point you can talk about science and scientific method. and if you get them interested in science, and scientific method, then they will begin to compare the rigors of science with the way the WTS has treated scientific issues. this is a seed that i know, from experience, easily germinates.

  peace!

  The Greatest lies of the Truth........do you know some ?

  i was just reading some of the topics in the forum and i was just pondering on how many lies and devious half truths the wts.

  put forth and marketed to .

  the general public, it certainly is a huge pot of some of the biggest lies and deceiving statements that men have ever derived from the holiest book the bible.. .

  yo dan,

  for me, one of the greatest WTS lies is still "creation" doctrine. people don't seem to think of it that often, but i consider it very damaging, even spiritually!

  the thing about the creation doctrine is that they paint themselves into a tight corner with it. if evolution is true, then their entire doctrine is screwed because it obsoletes the concept of the fall into sin and subsequently, the need for a redeemer which they consider Jebus.

  and i mean, for sure, they have ltold ots of lies. some people only need to discover a few lies, while some others need to find all the lies.

  lies lies lies, shame on you WTS!

  i was driving along today and passed a church advertising some singing group that is to appear sunday.

  i thought, "man, i hate religious music.

  " it was the "always have" that caught my attention.

  hi dave!

  you bring out an important point about getting over JW thinking. i mean, are we mature enough to read a book or listen to a song that contains thoughts that we disagree with philosophically? because there are some great books and songs out there.

  there's a sect of judaism called rastafari. they heavily promote this very catchy gospel music called reggae, lol.

  i would recommend Lee "Scratch" Perry, especially during his Black Ark years in the late 70's. he put an album out called "super ape". man, dat stuff be off da hook. he's basically considered the father of dub, and had a big influence on marley.

  for some more modern rootsy-dub-dancehall type sound systems, i totally recommend Mighty Crown. their Side A Mix album, or Crown Jugglaz Warrior Attack are great listens. they might be hard to find in stores, but i'd try searching online for mp3's.

  peace my bruva from anotha muva!

  2. friends

  i've been listening to this from the congress for some time now, and it's back in the news today.

  the idea is to build a literal fence along the us border, hundreds of miles long and costing millions of dollars, in order to keep out illegal aliens.. damn you canadian outlaws!

  oops!

  brown people and pink people. whatever. what's so difficult about that? different color pigmentation due to slight chromosomal variation.

  it doesn't have anything to do with "race". it has everything to do with culture. and the culture that some people maintain makes it difficult.

  let me put it this way:

  brown homo sapien has a relationship with pink homo sapien. everything works. they can even have a child . but the "ignorant space" in people's heads around them make their relationship "taboo" or "very hard".

  The Scientific Reasonableness Of Noah's Ark Demonstrated

  by FireNBandits in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  finally, someone in holland (where floods weigh heavily on the collective subconscious) has built a 1/5 scale model of noah's ark.

  this proves that noah built the original ark.

  if noah hadn't built the original ark, how could someone build a 1/5 scale model of it?

  tennis anyone?

  yes, but not for everyone.. dumbos only open-air tennis court will soon be open for business.

  the hard-surfaced court, which sits atop a five-story building at 69 adams st., has been drooled over by the net set, which has long hoped the court would be returned to service.
