  Evolution vs Creation.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looking at the board, i see so many long threads on " evoultion vs creation " ect, ect.. therefore if " your" qualifications are only those of " an" uneducated j.w, may i ask one question?.

  q) what makes you feel you are now qualified to comment with absolute ,authority on any discussion?.

  i ask the above question because for most of us " ex-witnesses " logic is still words written in the pages of an awake" magazine.

  Sun,moon, earth and mathematics .

  by atomant in

  just thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.

  that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!

  but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.

  Err... no. Nothing is exact, I think 'roughly' would fit better. If you disagree, please explain the difference between an Annular and Total eclipse?

  anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.

  Vidqun: Half banana, as you might have noticed, the chain of evidence, involving the laws of information and DNA, disproves the "scientific theorum" of evolution.

  Just a few questions.

  If the "scientific theorum" of evolution has indeed been disproved what competing theory do you feel replaced it?

  Are we now back to a position of 'we do not understand DNA'? Do you have a alternate hypothesis?

  From your post I am assuming you mean the entire 'Modern Synthesis' has fallen? The theory is very wide ranging? Are you saying that you have proof that the entire theory is incorrect?

  When you claim that DNA could not evolve, what is your degree of certainty? Does your hypothesis mean the chance of DNA evolving is 0% or would you concede that the chance must be > 0%.

  Just read through this thread, waiting for the proof that god created life? Did I miss it?

  There were some arguments from personal incredulity and ignorance and of course the OP is 'kinda' begging the question.

  Where is the evidence that a god, or Crabby's god created life?

  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

  Whoever managed to organise this wonderfully constructed and contrived parody of a deist v atheist group chemistry discussion, 'hat's off to you'! My favorite bit is at the end when Kate pretends to lose her grasp on reality.

  To all the players... bravo.

  It is parody right?

  the new awake is up on jw.orgwith the legalization of gay marriage in many countries, they decided it was time to show: "what does thebible say about homosexuality?

  "does the bible promote prejudice?still, some people would say that the bible promotes prejudice against homosexuals and that those who adhere to itsmoral code are intolerant.

  ‘the bible was written at a time when people were narrow-minded,’ they claim.

  @LoveUniHateExames

  I do not think it does! The word 'allow' in the definition would suggest that you tolerate things you have the power or ability to influence.

  For example, IMHO it would be an improper usage of the word 'tolerate' to suggest to me that I personally 'tolerate' the murder of children in my country because I am not personally doing anything to stop it.

  Home made blood card wording (extra blood please, gimme all of the blood)

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  yo bitches.. being a good submissive little jdub i lodged a copy of my blood card with my eldubs.

  it's in their safe as we speak.

  i want to counteract that document without altering the eldubs to this fact.. my doctor has agreed to put a note on the medical system (uk) saying that i've changed my mind on the blood issue, no matter what any legal-paper-waving death merchant wt representatives may sputter at my death bed.

  Potential Life and Death Issue for Faders?

  by M*A*S*H in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  please excuse if this topic is duplicated elsewhere.

  however i had not thought of the issue highlighted in the article from the point of those potentially fading before.. https://www.the-newshub.com/general/life-or-death-for-former-jehovahs-witnesses.

  so what happens when a medical emergency arises?in the event you face a medical emergency in which you are incapacitated, jw elders and family show up to produce legal documents that will allow them to take over your medical care including withholding blood to cause your death.

  @disposable hero of hypocrisy

  Glad you already brought this up. I had never considered fading as potentially life threatening... now I think it should be mentioned to any and all posters talking about fading.

  @LoveUniHateExams

  I agree Western govs are failing in many countries, this does not of course mean they are not trying. The FCO do not limit their work to countries signed to one HR law. You asked for some evidence so I thought I would post the link.

  I would hope that everyone agrees some acts of homophobia are worse than others. However, some might disagree on how damaging a religion producing homophobic literature can be, especially when some allow such homophobic views to be excused as petty.

  As for the disproportionate 'outrage'. I do not think that racism is a good explanation for this.
