Alan Hood was a British circuit overseer and from the platform he suggested to bring him or his wife along to any Bible studies being conducted with worldly people. He said, "Don't be nervous, we always bring a flask, and if we're still afloat halfway through the darn thing you'll be lucky" or words to that effect.

Joel is really one heck of a good guy. I've known him on the internet now for about 8 years. I wish we were friends in person.
MY JW productivity was nil. Our congregation's goal was for each publisher to start one Bible study a year and nobody ever started any. The numbers went from about 80 active pubs down to about 55 by the time I left.

Evidence for evolution, Installment 1: Endogenous retroviral sequences
by seattleniceguy inbecause i need to continue doing research on this topic, and it always helps me assimilate things if i write them up or otherwise explain them to others, and because i thought others here might be interested, i've decided to start a series.
in each installment, i'll present one small piece of evidence for evolution.
hopefully, some of the more knowledgeable people here will chime in with related evidence.

Hey SNG... you seem like........ a nice guy. Have your fun trying to prove evolution into your brain and heart. But remember there's a LOT more to life than spending all of yours trying to figure out where it came from. I spent a good four years learning, studying, debating evolution, and now all I care about is being a good person.

Aw, you poor, poor baby got a little snow to contend with. Now try driving to someone's house, finding somewhere to park your van, unloading your equipmet, trampling through their house, and setting up a ladder and climbing on the roof. Six times a day. :P

Hi proplog, old friend. Yeah I think a lot about how Jesus died at my age. Then I wonder if he thought about his teenage years as much as I do.

Annie, it's just cause I still think of my dad has being muscular, dark hair, and me only being as tall as his shoulders. Aging sucks. Come on metatron, gimme another anti-aging report! Stat!

propecor, I dunno if she looks like it or not but it sounds like you're describing Janis Joplin.
The person I'd most like to see a pic of is me because the one I'm generally associated with I'm wearing a tee shirt that says DRUNK? Free Breathalyzer Test - Blow Here with an arrow pointing to my crotch and my hair is halfway down my back. I'm much more clean-cut these days.
Edited for awful early morning spelling and grammar.
