Labeling one self "Atheist" is Unscientific

by LAWHFol in

i have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.

i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.

"atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

I love Perry, the forum wouldn't be the same without him

This is the beauty of not being JW's we can completely disagree and still talk to one another without distain and shunning. Don't feel bad Perry, keep being yourself please.

Has the WT ever said it's okay to steak rare?

by neverendingjourney in

i'm revisiting an old topic here, but this was a subject of much confusion for me when i was still a witness.

i went to a spanish congregation in the u.s. and it seemed to be taken for granted by most that you needed to cook beef thoroughly to "get rid" of the blood.

i was surprised when i learned that folks in the english speaking hall would order a steak medium-rare and think nothing of it.. it wasn't until after i left the witnesses that it started to occur to me that if the red fluid that was present when you'd cut the beef was blood, cooking it thoroughly wouldn't get rid of it, it'd just cook it and transform it into another color.

Eating low grade raw hamburger is one thing, you are probably going to get some ecoli lol

But I have eaten plenty of beef tartar and carpaccio in my time and rare rare fine dry and wet aged steaks with no issue. Maybe is the delicious whisky I was drinking with it, but honestly you can get ecoli from vegetables that are just not washed well enough. I have never in my life heard of anyone getting a bug from undercooked steak. You sear the outside you are good, hamburger and ground meat all the dirty bits are mixed inside.

and blood who cares, I have eaten boudin noir on numerous occasions lol, I'm going to hell

I thought this was especially wonderful

"Mr Spinks also said where there was a conflict between the Bible and science, the Bible would prevail, because all scripture is "inspired by God""

Wake up dubs.

You are more creationists than you like to let on.

Will Vincent Toole speak the truth to the Royal commission?

by Splash in

vincent toole has a history of stating blatant untruths in order to protect the wt.. he is recorded as once saying that shunning was "a myth".. i wonder how linguistically pedantic will he get, and how much double-speak will he employ in order to defend the current wt policies.

my guess is he will try to twist the senior counsel in knots with wordy responses, in the hope they will simply run out of time.. if this fails then i'm expecting some howlers of deception..

freemindfade

So far the commission has proved pretty savy to the jw language smoke screen. I think it would actually be awesome for him to say something like "shunning is a myth" because I have a feeling they would then chop him into little bits and make him out to be the lying asshole he is.
