the james webb telescope is set to launch in october of 2018 and will allow us to study the formation of first generation stars, the molecular clouds that became the first galaxies, and directly image exoplanets.

roughly one hundred times more powerful than the hubble space telescope the jwst is going to push back the current boundaries of science.. this is what 100-million man hours can accomplish.. .

A question .....

by Landy in

hi guys - new poster here.

i was brought up a jw in the uk and stopped going not long after i was married.

that was 20 years ago so i'm not really up to date with the current doctrinal flip flops or the new youtube obsessed gb.. came across this site while googling the name of a local elder who's just been convicted of possesion of a pc full of unpleasant pics of kids.. so, my question.

Twitch

I've only stayed because you're on here <puckers up for a kiss>

Now who's the stalker?

Anyway, I don't think this place is for me. It's a part of my life that has long since past and nothing good is going to come from dredging it up again.

This is Why I Will Keep Explaining Evolution to ex-JWs

I find it interesting that Buddhism ranks higher than any other religion and even higher than the unaffiliated/non religious as regards belief in a naturalist evolution.

Why Are You Here?

by Believer in

i'm wondering why believers remain members of this forum which is clearly hostile to believers.

as one member said, nonbelievers pounce on any semblance of belief like piranhas on prey.

as former jws we should have had our fill of judgmental know-it-alls, but here we are.

Why Are You Here?

A very subjective question....

Life of Brian

by berrygerry in

i was a younger dub at the time of this release, and stopped watching this movie near its beginning, when john cleese was stoned with the huge rock for saying jehovah.. this was despite having been (and continuing to be) a major john cleese (and monty python) fan.. any fans of this film?.

Orwell's 1984- a text book for the GB?

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

i'm in the middle of studying 1984 by george orwell .

it's a frightening book but more so for me because it's describing the borg to the letter almost just by another name.. right down to the changing of history to suit bb doctrine, the younger generation not believing anymore but finding ways around the rules to live their own lives.

the culture of squealing on others and kids being taught to do that even to their own parents.

Twitch

Great book, an eye opener when I first read it.

You might find this a good corroborative read;

Gord Downie - No Mention ??

by berrygerry in

with the loss of music greats in 2016, i'm somewhat surprised that gord downie hasn't been mentioned here.. the hip make such good music, and put on a good show.

saw them here about 4 years ago, and gord brought his young son out on stage.

with his health news, it makes that memory so much more touching.. whenever we lose a talented entertainer, we feel such loss, wishing that their talented gift to us did not stop.. for him to give, what can only be described as, a self-sacrificing good-bye tour, leaves me absolutely speechless.. http://www.torontosun.com/2016/05/25/final-tragically-hip-tour-dates-announced.

Twitch

I raise a toast, to Gord Downie and his family.

Ditto. His lyrics and the Tragically Hip's songs are synonymous with Canadian music and culture to a large degree. I first saw them during a "nooner" at college in '89 when they released "Up to Here". Pretty good band I thought and then they exploded, here in Canada anyways.

I salute Gord's bravery and dedication to his craft with this last tour, and wish him and his own strength in the coming months.
