  Probable Discovery of Life on Comet Philae

  by cofty in

  2. current

  according to leading astronomers the probe philae that landed on the comet 67p last november may have discovered microbial life..... sadly neither the probe nor the orbiter rosetta are equipped to test directly but the evidence is interesting.

  these are not easily explained in terms of prebiotic chemistry.

  the dark material is being constantly replenished as it is boiled off by heat from the sun.

  Wow. That is fantastic.

  Colors don't really come from things. It's more about our evolved eye picking up different light waves. Color... does not exist therefore neither does God.

  just wondering what questions you might ask an active jw following the july broadcast and the 10 minutes addressing child sex abuse?

  or is it even worth the trouble.

  Doesn't that catholic church also condemn child abuse?

  Where did that PSA come from, and where did it go to?

  Why do they keep talking about abuse?

  i was listening to my brother in law talk about his job this week.

  it was not without problems but it was there.

  My college education was blamed by a family member of mine for making me think critically... ok... and...

  Really I can honestly say my analytical approach to this being a complete dangerous cult had zero to do with college. College doesn't make critical thinkers, but it does work well for them.

  WTBTS Blame decision tree

  1. Satan
  2. Women
  3. Homosexuals

  I guess satan is the fail safe for all blame, if it wasn't a homosexual, or a woman, well... Satan.

  Why using Jehovah for God's name is as good as using Yahweh

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in another thread i wrote some notes about why using jehovah in english is as good as using yahweh.

  i'm starting a discussion on this topic because it sounds quite ignorant to hear people talk of the monk who started using it in latin without really understanding why the monk did so.. the spanish dominican monk, raymundus martini, in 1270, didn't get hoodwinked by an old jewish superstition about pronouncing the divine name with the vowel points of another word.. 1. first the vowel points of adonay and jehovah cannot be the same for grammatical reasons.

  you just can't use the same vowel points because some vowels aren't paired with some consonants in pronouncing hebrew words.

  Oubliette

  Did you read my explanation for this odd old PSA? I think this abuse storm has been brewing for a while, and I don't think their intention was ever for anyone to see or care about that PSA. It is a business/legal CYA move. If they had promoted it to us back then it may have seemed strange, but now, in retrospect, there is a record of them doing something proactive even though virtually no one in org ever knew it or saw it. The legal team's work I believe. Preparing for the future ass kicking they were sure to get, to give something defensible.

  don't want to get into a lot of detail but it seems like my wife is finally having some flashes of awareness.

  she's got them before, but not in very touchy subjects.

  she was willing to seat down with me and look over some websites talking about some very controversial subjects that i do not dare to write about at the moment.
