  Scientists say that many of these animals were found with buttercups and other warm weather plants still in their mouths - meaning that they were frozen almost immediately. JW's and other fundamentalists claim that this is due to the sudden collapse of the "water canopy" at the flood. I don't buy their flood-canopy explination so can you think of other reason(s) for these animals to be "quick frozen" along with warm weather plants still in their mouths? Remember, these animals are found in arctic regions where these plants don't and cannot grow.

  Finally getting shunned...

  well my family has been doing it for a while.

  but i found it really strange, that i live in an area of town with many jw's and still go to all the normal places, and yet i'd not seen them... last week, walking around downtown, i spotted my "step -aunt", (step mom's side) and she put her head down, and wouldn't acknowledge me.

  then i rode up the elevator with her today, same treatment, thought today she made eye contact.

  Although I was careful not to be blatently open about it, I never shunned anyone. It really made me uncomfortable to just ignore someone I'd known all my life. I can't understand how someone can just turn their feelings off and on like that. One day you won't even speak with a person and the next day you've got your arm around them asking them to come over for dinner the next day.

  What "Common Denominator" do most JW's have?

  by JH in

  do you think that there is a common denominator, or are they all different people who found what they call "the truth"?.

  A fear of frank and open discussions about Religion and/or the Bible.

  A morbidfear of hearing or reading constructive critisism about Jehovahs Witness or the Watchtower Society.

  Evolution and "Missing Link" theory

  by Mile 0 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not long ago, i caught the tale end of a show where this biologist believes that both apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor.

  therefor there is no so-called "missing link".

  has anyone heard about this theory?.

  The pigmy tribes, still around today are from 3-4 feet tall. The "Hobbits" don't seem so unusual.

  would seem unfair to me.. the willingness to reconsider the biblei am debating whether to research the bible and have an open discussion about it.

  the challenge i think is to do it without the influence from a religious source.

  Have you watched the series on TLC/Discovery - "Mysteries of the Bible?" It's about as unbiased as anything I've ever seen or read. You can order the series from the TLC/Discovery Channel website. The format gives good credible information and points out different views of people but encourages you to draw your own conclusions.

  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Early Daylight Saving Time

  2. friends

  for the most part i rely on my computer clock to give me the right time.. well just missed an appointment because of that .

  i have adjusted the time several times - those senior's moments made me think i just forgot to to do it.. well each time i set it the stupid clock resets to the old time.

  allk my other clocks are fine except the computer.. i finally realized that if i set the computer to say i am in the central time zone it just might stay at the right time until the end of the month when i can rest it for eastern time.

  "Who thought of this stupid idea?"

  Actually it was first proposed in the late 18th century by Ben Franklin.

  For the most part the posters were respectful while being a little humorous about the witnesses......untila JW got involved in the discussion. You can see the obvious change in attitudes.

  "In lieu of flowers, please donate to the World Wide Work of JW's"

  by Wild_Thing in

  2. friends

  in lieu of flowers, donations made to the world wide work of jehovah's witnesses would be appreciated by the family.. anybody ever seen a witness family do this before?

  i saw it in an obit in a newspaper online and it made me sick!

  most people ask for donations to non-profit organizations that help fight disease like cancer, etc.

  I'm a little surprised that they chose to bring up his prior military service.
