Cosmic Evolution- the origin of time, space and matter, i.e. Big bang (There is no evidence of this happening at all)
Well, I could address all of these, but when you start with a false statement, I can pretty much rest assured that the rest is bunk too.
It's called Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. Read about it.

howdy all - i'd like to enlist the help of some of the bible experts on this forum.
the main jehovah's witnesses article on wikipedia has been pretty thoroughly filled with correct and embarassing wts doctrine.
we've been able to get the disfellowshipping and shunning section to stick, as well as mention of the "examination period" of 1914-1919, and general slaughter at armageddon.

We've been able to get the disfellowshipping and shunning section to stick, as well as mention of the "examination period" of 1914-1919, and general slaughter at Armageddon. Now, we need to move on to the New World Translation page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Translation_of_the_Holy_Scriptures
Currently the NWT page is very much pro-WTS. We need to mix it up a bit, like the Faithful and Distcreet Slave section. A "criticism" section needs to be added, and the stauros section should be expanded with counter-arguments. I'm not much of a bible scholar, so I'm wondering if y'all out there could take a look at the NWT page and get the changes moving.
I'm hoping that maybe Auldsoul, leolaia, and jgnat, who i've noticed have a tremendous grasp on biblical translation/mistranslation, could help out.

Even if scientists haven't figured that part of it out, it doesn't mean they never will, so to use the word "insurmountable" is bullying the point.
2005 service year as reported in the u.s. kingdom ministry (by looking at monthly baptisms)
sept 04 1,791
oct 04 2,680
26,182 dubs lost.
2.62% attrition rate.
Does anyone have these monthly numbers going back a decade or so? I'd like to do a month to month comparison over that time period to create a trend line. Annual baptism numbers too.
i just noticed another poster who is from michigan (as am i).
it was on jourles "name three posters you'd like to meet" thread.
i have met a lot of jwd members, most of whom i got to know better in chat (those were the days!
Yo.
a huge question that i have in the back of my mind regarding the wts is where all of the money ends up.
no one really has a conclusive answer to that.
i think it would reveal a lot if we were able to find out.. i know there have been various threads in the past where it revealed a clue here and a clue there.
The vatican releases its annual budget - does the WTS?

Howdy all,
I'm looking for a good annotated bible to better understand the context and historical meaning of biblical stories. I'm looking at both the Oxford Annotated Bible and the Oxford Bible Commentary. Can anyone recommend one or the other? What's the difference?
guns, should jw's have them?
i know brothers that hunt on wt property in ny for deer.

Of couse, because there's no history of abuse when only government has guns.
